In Reading Workshop we talked about fake reading and below is my comment. You can read it here or go to Reading Workshop and read it on The Queen of Fake Reading, I would like it if you read it on mine not the teachers.
I fake read when we are reading in a text book. I skip ahead and read the whole page while the teacher is still on the 3rd sentence. I also sometimes fake read when I’m told to stop, just to finish a chapter. It does not help though because I go back and read it again. Also I fake read to find where I stoped.
I don’t fake read a lot, really I hardly ever fake read, unless it is a bad book. When I’m reading a good book though I may never fake read, unless I’m trying to find my place.
