Students will be using a version of KWL for Before, During, and After reading a math word problem. Our Version is called: PSR (Predict Solve Reflect)

Before Reading
 * Predict:** This will be used before reading. The students will be examining the picture in the word problem and predicting what the question will be asking, what math formulas they might be asked to use, and how they would solve it.

During Reading
 * Solve:** This will be used during the reading. The student will read the word problem while thinking about what important information they need to pull out in order to correctly solve the problem.

After Reading
 * Reflect:** This will be done after the reading. The student will reflect on what they solved, why they used the methods they did to solve, and why that method was appropriate.
