Reread a confusing sentence or paragraph.
  Read ahead to see if that clarfies the meaning of a passage.
  Use illustrations as an aid.
  Slow down the rate of reading.
  Look back over the text to find details that you have forgotten.
  Ask yourself questions.
  Put a confusing passage into your own words.
  Talk over the passage with a friend, a parent, or the teacher.

(Taylor,Harris,&Pearson,1988)

During Reading
    Ask yourself.....
        What have I read about so far?
        Do I understand it? If not, what should I do?

After Reading
    Ask yourself.....
        What have I learned?
        How can I use what I read?
(Alvermannn,Bridge,Schmedt,Searfoss, & Winogard,1989,p.R8)
