Purple hibiscus strategies

          As you all know we are reading the novel Purple hibiscus. It is a fairly difficult read that requires strategies to understand. For starters, I read it with a pencil to mark things that are important. I also use this pencil to write down connections and predictions of what is happening, or will happen. This strategy has been very successful for me.
          Another strategy I use to read this book is reading with low volume no lyric music. This helps me focus on the book. It also allows me to read faster than I normally would. This method has been very effective. It is effective in the sense that it has made me an overall better reader.
