Anaphoric cueing - Answer--Use a word (anaphora) referring to or replacing a word

, -Ex: Susan plays the piano. She likes music or "Rob" is short for "Robert"
Story Mapping - Answer--Reading is broken into 3 sections: before, during and after
-Before: look at the cover, read the title, predict what the story will be about
-During: ask questions about the reading, predict what will happen
-After: ask more questions such as who was your favorite character or your favorite
event in the story

read the text to locate relevant information
