<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Proficient readers typically engage with a text by asking themselves questions as they read: Who is speaking? Why did the author choose this example? What's important here? Do I understand what I am reading?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">In contrast, struggling readers, and those with disabilities, are not likely to pose questions before, during, or after reading. These students, in particular, need direct instruction and practice in self-questioning.
