I was going to say not without conversation and discussion. But then I thought wait a minute. If the student uses (has?) metacognition, then yes. They monitor their own reading to insure understanding. At least an understanding they can reach based on their schema. Then that brings us back to discussion. We learn so much from others because they add their schema to our thinking, and our thinking grows. Jan, who seems to have talked in circles.
