Reading Article Reflection
After reading the article about reading and filling out the reading evaluation, i have a better understanding of my reading style and strategies. I believe I am a good reader and these documents helped me realize the areas I need to improve in and the areas I am good in.
I think that I demonstrate all of the forms of literacy demonstrated in the article. I make connections between texts, consider what I am reading as I am reading, and reflect on what I’ve read. I read differently when I am reading a fictional story or a non-fiction article. When I am reading non-fiction, I try to notice all of the details and keep track of them, while when I am reading fiction, I look for the meaning behind details and actions in the story. One strategy I should take away is sustaining focus. I sometimes have trouble focusing when I am reading, and I stop without realizing.
Annotating came up a lot this year and was pretty helpful. It was not a new experience for me, I had first started annotating in 8th grade for school and I had been doing it for school since then. Sometimes I didn’t think that there was anything worth annotating, and I would not know what to do. Overall I thought annotating was helpful and helped me comprehend the book better, and I enjoyed it. I think that annotating will make me a more perceptive reader and I will notice smaller details that I wouldn’t have before.
The article and evaluation helped me understand my reading process and how it can be improved. I will use this information to help e become a better reader and critical thinker in the future.
