Slides: The Friend of Learning

The Reflective Reader

Seeks meaning.

Monitors what is being said from paragraph to paragraph.

Draws a clear distinction between the thinking of an author and the reader.

Adjusts reading to specific goals.

Interrelates ideas in the text with ideas the reader already commands.

Assesses what it reads for clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance,

depth, breadth, logic, significance, and fairness.

Values new ideas and learns from what is read.

Psalm 100

1  Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.

2  Worship the Lord with gladness;
    come before him with joyful songs.

3  Know that the Lord is God.
    It is he who made us, and we are his;
    we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
    and his courts with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.

5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
   his faithfulness continues through all generations.
