
A
conclusion is a decision you reach
after thinking about facts and
details you read.
 You can also use what you already
know to help draw a conclusion.
 Then ask yourself, “Does my
conclusion makes sense?”
The author’s viewpoint is the way an
author looks at and feels about the
topic or ideas he or she is writing
about.
 Think about how the author seems to
feel about the subject.
 Look for words and details in the text
that tell you if the author feels
positively or negatively or otherwise
about the subject.

 Ask
yourself what beliefs are
behind the author’s statements.
 Look for details in the text that
support your ideas about the
author’s viewpoint.
You can use word structure to determine
the meaning of unfamiliar compound
words.
 List any compound words you find as you
read “Night Letters.”
 Create a chart showing the unknown word,
its two smaller words, and the definition
of the word.
 Use a dictionary to check the meanings.

When might you read a selection slowly and
when might you read quickly?
 If you need to remember many details
about what you are reading, you should
read something slowly.
 Some tests involve reading a passage and
then answering questions. This would be a
time to read slowly to try to remember as
many details as possible.

Social studies and science textbooks
usually contain unfamiliar words and ideas.
Read slowly when you are learning about
unknown topics.
 Read quickly when you are looking for
important words or ideas. If you are
looking for a source to research a topic,
skim and scan to see if the source has the
information you need.
