The graph is divided into two sections: The darker posts that represent culturally familiar texts and the lighter posts that represent the culturally unfamiliar texts.
The Americans in this study were observed using five different types of strategies when reading both culturally familiar and unfamilar texts. The frequency of the employment of these strategies is illustrated in the graph.
The strategies with subcategories:
- Developing awareness
1. Refer to experimental task
2. State loss of concentration
3. State failure to understand
- Accepting ambiguity
1. Skip unknown words
2. Formulate a question
3. consider other inferences
4. Suspend judgement
- Establishing inrasentential ties 1
1. Read ahead
2. Relate to previous text
3. Extrapolate from text
4. Verify an inference
- Using background knowledge
1. Use knowledge of format
2. Refer to previous passage
3. Respond affectively
4. Visualize
5. Relate to experience
6. Speculate beyond text
- Esstablishing intersentential ties
1. Gather information
2. Reread
3. Paraphrase
4. Use context clues
5. React to author's style
For the purpose of this graph I have not broken up the main headings into the subheadings listed above. Just understand that each main heading includes all the strategies listed above.
