What strategy can help students self-monitor their reading and adjust strategies used based on the situation?

  1. Ignore the text type and read uniformly

  2. Self-monitor and adjust reading strategies

  3. Focus only on summarizing

  4. Use the same strategy for all texts

The correct answer is: Self-monitor and adjust reading strategies

Self-monitoring and adjusting reading strategies is key for successful reading comprehension. This strategy involves students being aware of their understanding while reading and being able to adjust their reading strategies accordingly. By self-monitoring, students can identify when they are not comprehending the text and can then implement different strategies, such as rereading, asking questions, or making connections, to aid their comprehension. This active approach to reading promotes deeper understanding and engagement with the text. Choices A, C, and D do not emphasize the adaptability and self-awareness that self-monitoring and adjusting reading strategies provide, making them incorrect options.
