Where do story impressions typically come from?

  1. During-reading

  2. Post-reading

  3. Prereading

  4. Retelling

The correct answer is: During-reading

Story impressions typically come from the during-reading stage of the reading process. During-reading is when readers actively engage with the text, making connections, asking questions, and forming initial impressions of the story, characters, and themes. This stage helps readers build comprehension and make predictions about what might happen next in the story. Post-reading happens after the reading is complete and involves reflecting on the story as a whole. Prereading occurs before reading and involves activities such as previewing the text, activating prior knowledge, and setting a purpose for reading. Retelling is a comprehension strategy that involves summarizing or recounting the main events of a story after reading.
