I don't know what word applies to this definition/act

<p>do you know what “things you do while you are reading” are called?
like making connections, predictions, etc. while reading </p>

<p>There is a word that means the above, I just don’t know what it is. Thanks</p>

<p>analyzing?</p>

<p>nooo there is a specific word that includes all of the actions that you can do to make you a better reader.</p>

<p>Close reading?</p>

<p>Synthesize?
Comprehend?
Intuit?
Conceptualize?
Construe?
Apprehend?
Cognize?</p>

<p>there is 1 word that is specfically used for it! I know some people are smart here. It does not refer to a specific action like analyize. It inlcudes predictions, connections, questions, basically every thing you can do to make yourself a better reader. JUST 1 WORD… ugh. I really want to use this word in my essay that’s why. it is the perfect word.</p>

<p>Are you sure you’re not thinking of comprehension, or possibly contextualization?</p>

<p>nope. -_- Comeon, I know that this word has come up in many AP lit classes…</p>

<p>annotate? this is the action of making notes, but they will deal with the above and more
infer?</p>

<p>brainstorm?</p>

<p>active reading? errrr</p>

<p>Reading Strategies?</p>

<p>Thinking! ;)</p>

<p>Unfortunately, this doesn’t come up in a lot of lit classes. =(</p>

<p>critical reading</p>

<p>The first thing that came to mind was comprehension.</p>
