Question

Reba is reading a research study about the challenges faced by young students with learning disabilities. Reba's brother has a learning disability, so she knows that he has to work harder than most others to earn good grades in school. She thinks that some of the strategies they list in the article might be helpful for her brother, so she decides to write those down. One part of the study discusses scientific theories of how learning disabilities are linked to brain activity. She finds this part a little confusing, so she decides to read it again to make sure she understands it. She decides that even though the scientific theories are interesting, they won't contribute directly to her paper on the challenges these disabilities cause, so she decides not to use that information for her essay. Which of the following strategies is Reba using?

3) summarizing and synthesizing
4) self-monitoring comprehension
5) asking questions while reading
