Selection of Text and Strategy

The selection of the text should be coordinated with the reading strategy (Questioning, Managing Text, Summarizing) you want to teach. The text should be matched with the student’s reading ability and aligned with both your core reading program and the theme of focus. Some texts are better suited for teaching certain strategies and should be utilized for maximum engagement by the students.
