Wonder about who, what, where, when, why, and how as you read.
3.Look for Clues
Pay attention to pictures, titles, and bold words for hints.
4.Summarize
After reading, try to say what happened in your own words.
5.Reread if Needed
If something is confusing, go back and read it again.

Think about how the story relates to your own life or other things you've read.
Practice Passage
Maya loved going to the park after school. She would swing as high as she could, pretending to touch the clouds. One day, she saw a small puppy near the slide. The puppy looked lost and a little scared. Maya gently called to it and offered her snack. The puppy wagged its tail and came closer. Soon, Maya's friends joined her, and together they found the puppy's owner, who was very grateful. Maya felt happy that she helped a new friend.
