Thanks for posting that link. I am listening now. I am not sure how I feel about what she is saying. First of all, she asks that we do reading on our own and deeply reflect on metacognitive strategies we use as we read. As I think of what I do when I read, it is mainly three things-- go back and re-read (when I have lost my train of thought) or sometimes break apart a word to figure out what it means (based on its parts), and sometimes wonder things. I do NOT actively seek out to do things like make connections or summarize. I don't make a point to access my schema before I start reading. These are all things my brain does automatically when I'm reading text at my level. If I were reading about something I don't know much about, say, ice fishing, it doesn't matter how much I try to access my schema, I'm not going to comprehend the text because I HAVE no schema. Here's another thought: if I had to stop reading after every page and think about making connections, etc. I would probably hate reading.
