Olshavsky (1977) categorizes three strategies: word related, clause related and story related. Hosenfeld
(1977,1979,1984) lists a number of effective reading strategies. Block (1986) distinguishes between general
strategies (comprehension gathering and comprehension monitoring) and local strategies (attempts to understand
specific linguistic units). Sarig (1987) classifies the reading moves or strategies into four types. Undoubtedly, the
number and complexity of reading strategies is just overwhelming. Given the fact that strategies are frequently
utilized in combination with each other and that individual readers use different terminology to explain the
strategies they are using, a conclusion list may not be possible.
