What is a key focus of after reading strategies?

  1. Predicting the outcome of the text

  2. Summarizing and evaluating what was read

  3. Reading again for fluency

  4. Discussing author motivations

The correct answer is: Summarizing and evaluating what was read

After reading strategies are designed to help learners consolidate their understanding of the material they've just encountered. Summarizing and evaluating the text allows readers to reflect on key themes, main ideas, and important details. This process not only reinforces comprehension but also encourages critical thinking, as students assess the effectiveness of the text and its impact on their understanding. By engaging in summarization, readers distill the essence of the material, which enhances retention and provides a foundation for further discussion or application of the content. Other strategies, such as predicting outcomes or discussing author motivations, are typically more aligned with pre-reading or during-reading activities. These approaches serve different purposes in the reading process and do not focus primarily on the consolidation and evaluation of the material after it has been read.
