I hope you don't mind my butting in... My understanding of the strategies is that they become instinctual. My middle school readers that are fluent readers find my reminding them of the strategies is cumbersome and destroys the entire reading experience. Nancie Atwell, in *The Reading Zone*, says she never teaches the basic reading strategies to experienced readers. It would defeat the purpose. If I have one really struggling in his/her reading, I would see what strategies he/she does use judge from there as to how to use the strategies. Kim
