What tool includes prompts like 'When I read I…' to prompt self-reflection on reading?

• A. Lexiles
• B. 5 concepts of print
• C. Informal reading inventories (passages & questions)
• D. Self-evaluation checklists (e.g., When I read I...)

Answer: (D)

Prompts such as “When I read I…” are used to foster metacognition, inviting students to reflect on their own reading processes, strategies, and understanding. This kind of self-evaluation helps students monitor what they comprehend, decide what to do when they don’t understand something, and set goals to improve their reading. That focus on reflective, personal assessment is exactly what self-evaluation checklists are designed to provide—students articulate their reading habits and identify steps to grow.

The other tools serve different purposes: Lexiles give a measure of text difficulty and a reader’s level, not prompts for self-reflection. The five concepts of print cover foundational ideas about how print works in books, not about reflecting on reading strategies. Informal reading inventories consist of graded passages and questions to assess reading accuracy and comprehension, not to prompt students to reflect on their own reading processes.
