Anticipate Difficulty Ask… • Are students lacking background knowledge? • Will difficult vocabulary interfere with meaning? • Will difficult concepts need to be explained further? • Is the text about challenging subject matter? • Is the text organized in a confusing manner?

Model How You Would Do It • Try think out loud at one place where you think the students will have difficulty • Give them tips on how to negotiate that part. • Refer them to fix-up strategies

Now What? • What do you want students to do with the information they have read? • How will they hold their thinking so they can return to it later? • Will you have them write a paper, have a discussion or create a project?

Model • Show them how they should hold their thinking and provide tools – Graphic organizers – Sticky Note – Note taking devices • What are some other ideas for modeling?
