The main reasons are to persuade (to convince you of something), to inform (present information about a topic), to entertain (for your enjoyment). An author also writes a story to share his feelings. Finding the topic (can be found in the title or the beginning of the text) and identifying the purpose helps to better understand what is important as they read the selection. P.I.E.S. (Persuade / Inform / Entertain / Share feelings)
Weekly strategy: Monitoring Comprehension is what good readers use to understand what they are reading. If under-standing breaks down, they can make corrections and adjustments by rereading the text aloud, uses background knowledge to ask questions, or read ahead to get more information.
