Pre Reading Strategies

In a class discussion let's talk about these questions:

• What do you already know about fairy tales (activate background knowledge)?
• What do you already know about Cinderella (activate background knowledge)?
• What do you think is going to happen in this story (predict)?
• We talked about a specific type of verb, what type of verbs do you think are going to be in this story (anticipate new word form)?
• Please read the questions on the "Comprehension Questions" page before reading. Also, make sure you are paying attention to the order the story happens in (reading for gist and comprehension).

You are ready to read Cinderella!
