Quotes:

Metacognition, “thinking about my thinking,” helps learners become aware of their strategy use and develops a conscious level of awareness that can make the difference between comprehension and word calling.

1(Hoyt, L., 2005, p. 42)

 

Matching strategies to one’s purpose requires metacognitive knowledge – an awareness and understanding of how one thinks and uses strategies during reading.
