LEARNING GOAL: Students will implement or witness the use of the 12 Systems of Strategic Action that are needed to become a strong reader: word solving, monitoring and correcting, searching for and using information, summarizing, maintaining fluency, adjusting, predicting, making connections, inferring, synthesizing, analyzing, and critiquing a text (Fountas & Pinnell, 2008).
