Reading Strategies

Introduction for reading metacognition

YOUR STRATEGIES IN READING AND UNDERSTANDING TEXTS

There are several strategies to read texts. Some of them are more useful or appropriate than others, depending on the kind of reading task. The next questions present three different reading tasks, followed by a list of “strategies.” We want to know your opinion about the usefulness of these strategies for the different reading tasks.

Think about the usefulness of each of the strategies in relation to the given reading task only. Some strategies may be useful for one reading task but not for another.

Give a score between 1 and 6 to every strategy. A score of 1 means you think it is not a useful strategy at all for this reading task. A score of 6 means you think it is a very useful strategy for this reading task.

You can use the same score more than once if you think two or more strategies are similarly useful, but please select only one response in each row.
