Good readers use effective strategies when reading to help them comprehend text. The 3-2-1 strategy requires students to summarize key ideas from the text and encourages them to think independently.
First, students write about three things they discovered. Next, they write about two things they found interesting. Last, they write one question they still have.
This strategy can be used while reading a variety of texts to actively and meaningfully engage students with the text.
