I read It, but I Don't Get It by Cris Tovani 4

                                                         Chapter 4
**FRUITS**
In this chapter Tovani talks about the six signals that she tells her students to look for when they read.
1. The voice that interacts with the text and the one that does not.
2. Good readers have a video recorder playing in their heads as they read. If it shuts off there is a problem.
3. If the students mind wanders off that means they're losing interest (or they have ADD, but that's another topic). They should be aware of this so that they can catch themselves.
4. The reader forgets everything that he read.
5. Asking questions about the text and then answering them.
6. The reader is vaguely able to recall a character, but unable to recall when she was introduced.
**WEEDS**
None.
**BASKET**
One of the most interesting parts of this chapter is when she describes her fathers coaching of baseball. The way he questions every thought during every step of the batting process is how I must question my students thought process as they read. Are you confused? About what? The answers to those questions will facilitate the way I differentiate my lesson plans to adapt to advanced, average and struggling students (so help me God).
