Mini Lesson 10
A Picture is worth a thousand words, a graphic illustration is worth at least several pages of facts and figures. Graphics express complex interrelationship in simplified form.
The Graphic illustration is a logically constructed aid for understanding many small bits of information. There are five kinds of graphic illustrations, diagrams, tables, maps, graphs and flowcharts. A Diagrams is a drawing of an object showing labeled parts.
A Table is a listing of facts and figures in columns for quick reference. A Map is a graphic designation or distribution. A Pie Graph is a circular graph divided into wedge-shaped segments to show portions totaling 100 percent. A Bar Graph is an arrangement of horizontal or vertical bars in which the length of each represents an amount or number.
Cumulative bar graph is a bar graph that shows a cumulative effect in which all the bar’s segments add up to a total. Rather than having multiple bars or lines, the groups are stacked on top of each other to dramatically show differences. A line graph a frequency distribution in which the horizontal scale measures time and the vertical scale measures amount. Flow Chart is a diagram showing how ideas are related, with boxes and arrows indicating levels of importance and movement. Then ask if student has any questions.
Mini Lesson 11
Today we are learning Rate Flexibility. A rate is a reading pace calculated according to the number of words read in one minute. Studies have shown that students should not speed read, but really take the time to absorb all the reading material. To find a reading rate we have to time the person for a minute and see how many words they were able to read. Also while reading at a normal speed and not speed reading. The normal reading rate of true comprehension is two hundred and fifty words a minute. Many people when they read don’t understand what they are reading. There is term for such a thing it’s called, Regression means rereading material because of a lack of understanding or concentration. If you have this problem, which everyone does, figure out what the
Problem is, is it daydreaming or just not understanding that certain material.
Fixation affects many readers while they are trying to read. Fixation is rereading material because of a lack of understanding or concentration. Many people read the vocalization way. Vocalization is rereading material because of a lack of understanding or concentration. There is also subvocalization is the inaudible inner voice that is part of the reading process. Then ask student if they have any questions about the lesson.
Mini Lesson 12
Today we will be learning about test taking. Learning tips to taking a test will bring much benefit in college and other events in life. One can never know to much about test taking and the tips.

Schedule your time and work rapidly on the test this will determine how much time you receive to pass the test. Ignore students who finish early, work as long as the amount of time is given to you. Then ask if student has any questions on the lesson.
Mini Lesson Reading Texts Books
Today we will be learning about how to properly read a text book. A Textbook is actually a unique, highly specialized information source specifically designed to teach you. After all, college textbook writers are usually teachers. So, in effect, the teacher is giving you all the tools you need to learn. You just need to know how to use these tools.
For example, a glossary is a mini-dictionary that provides you with definitions to key words in the text. major headings in each chapter tell you which information is the most important and subheadings let you know which information is related to the larger, more general points. Authors put all of these features into textbooks for your benefit. If you don't know how to use these learning aids or if you think that simply reading your books and memorizing material is enough, then you're making life much more difficult than it should be. In the same way, some students may open a textbook and see a confusing jumble of information. More experienced students will see teaching aids at the front of the book, in each chapter, and at the back. These features are designed to help you get the most from your textbook. Text book consist of front, middle and ending. Ask student of she has any questions of the lesson.
Mini Lesson Vocabulary Development
Today we will learn about vocabulary development. Which of these sentences is easiest to understand? Actually, they all state the same idea. The difference is in the vocabulary. Authors choose vocabulary words which have particular meaning to them. It could be a writing style which reflects the idea of the material, a particular rhythm of words which pleases the author, or a dialect from the area from which the author is writing. Whatever the reason, the reader is the one who must decipher the meaning behind the words. Help exists. Besides increasing the number of words a reader knows and understands, a reader can utilize a number of strategies to help. In this module, you will learn how to: Use the dictionary to find word meanings, pronunciations, parts of speech, word origins, and other information about words and word phrases. Determine the meaning of an unfamiliar word by reading the sentences and words around it—the context. Determine the meaning and spelling of commonly misspelled words and use clues from the context of the sentence for their usage. Determine the meaning and spelling of common homonyms using the context of the sentence as a clue. Figure out a word's meaning by looking at synonyms words with the same meanings or antonyms words with opposite meanings. Recognize common prefixes and suffixes and know that when they are used, they change a word's meaning. Recognize the meaning of common root words. Ask student of she has any questions of the lesson.
Mini Lesson Taking notes and Highlights
Today we will learn about taking notes and highlighting. Highlighting means accenting important information that you want to remember. For instance, if you were reading an account of Bill Gates' life in The Seattle Weekly, you could highlight his career from age eleven when he wrote his first computer program to the founding of Microsoft and to his charitable work with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation today. You would highlight his achievements and their impact on the computer industry today. Some students make the mistake of highlighting everything. Highlighting everything is not an effective strategy because it does not call attention to the most important information in a reading. Annotating means marking your text with key information as you read. The margins in your book are an ideal place for your notes. While you read, identify patterns of organization, main ideas, and supporting details. Try to summarize each important paragraph in a sentence or less. Finally, write a brief summary at the end of every chapter to test your comprehension of the material you've read. The Cornell note taking method is just one way of taking notes. This method uses book margins if you are reading a textbook and paper margins if you are taking written notes. Ask student of she has any questions of the lesson.
Mini Lesson Memorization and Concentration Today we will be learning about memorization and concentration. Both are very important when it comes to reading. Being able to concentrate and memorize important material are two important keys to success in school and work. Students who can concentrate earn higher grades on tests. They also gain much more from the college experience. In this lesson, you too will learn strategies that will help you manage your study time and remember information you've learned in your classes or your job. There are three times of memories. Sensory memory stores images, feelings, and smells as we experience them. However, only some of this stored information is transferred to short-term memory. All other sensory images are discarded. Short-term memory can hold information for about 20 to 30 seconds. This is the type of memory that some unsophisticated learners rely upon. Unfortunately, short-term memory does not help you when taking tests. Short-term memory is very easily replaced by other pieces of sensory information, and for that reason it is unreliable. Long-term memory is the type of memory that you should aim for when studying. Long-term memory can last for indefinite amounts of time, provided that rehearsal takes place. Ask student of she has any questions of the lesson.
