Reading strategies (p. 57)
  • It’s best to first read through the text quickly to see the topic and structure.
  • Pay attention to the title, the first paragraph, and the first sentences of the following paragraphs. 
  • Go through the questions.
  • The questions – of the same type – are usually in order.
  • Guess the kind of answer you will be looking for, and underline the keywords (know which keywords to search for). 
  • The answer will probably be worded differently from the question.

Slide 16 - Slide

Reading strategies - example (p. 57)
For the reading ‘Solar-powered Cars’ the first question is “When was the first World Solar Challenge held?”

The answer will most likely be a ‘year’ so the quickest way to find it is to scan the article for a
‘year’ then see if there is a reference to ‘first’ or a similar word (‘began’ for example).
 
In this case the answer is ‘since the first race in 1987’
