What do you already know about reading strategies / techniques?

Why are reading techniques important?

Reading techniques

1. Skimming: understanding the main idea. 
2. Scanning: look for key information (for example: names, dates, numbers.
3. Intensive reading: read and understand the whole text.

Skimming

1. Read the title 
2. Read the introduction 
3. Search for the source (=bron) of your text
4. Look at pictures / images 
5. Look at bold or underlined words or words in italics. 

When I skim I do this:

Scanning 

1. Read the title and subheadings (=tussenkopjes)
2. Look for keywords that tell you more about what you are looking for in a text
3. Look at bold or underlined words or words in italics. 

When do you use the reading technique scanning?

1. Deciding if you want to read a news article or not.
2. Reading and understanding a complete text.
3. When you look for a date of birth.
4. While reading a recipe.

Intensive reading 

1. Read the complete text 
2. Pay attention to the introduction and subheadings (=tussenkopjes)
3. Look for the most important sentences and words 
4. Look up the meaning of difficult words 

You should always use intensive reading (at least once) during a reading test...

1. Yep!
2. Sure!
3. No!

IN THE BOOK you are writing, what kind of reading people would need to find your HASHTAGS?

TIPS

1. First read the QUESTIONS, then read the TEXT.
2. You don't need to know all the words in order to understand a text.
3. Practice, practice, practice! Skills need to be TRAINED.
