Document Summary
Meaning: semantic information about the world (topic/content of the text). Real world knowledge, prior knowledge, information from illustrations, concepts and content remembered. Visual: graphophonic information about sounds & symbols. Knowledge of how the english language is structured, prior experiences. Letters of a word, groups of letters within a word, and the size of the word. Self-monitoring: the reader realises something is wrong; evident when the reader repeats a word, rereads, self-corrects, tries another word or appeals for help. Cross-checking: one source of information against another to self-monitor or problem solve, checking the source used against another source (m&s with v). Evident when the reader self corrects, tries another word, repeats a word or phrase after a wrong response. Rereading to confirm a response: to check that what has been read makes sense, sounds right, looks right by hearing it again in fluent reading. Often happens after the reader has self-correct or after the teacher has told" the child the word.
