Leesvaardigheid intro H4

Signaalwoorden:

VWO

Signaalwoorden:

• You can find them on Teams / Reading (CITO) on the left-hand side under 'Kanalen'.
• My advice: Study all the sign words on p. 1 -10 
  
• p. 10-20: words that occur frequently in answer options and texts. (Also useful to study!)
• Apart from practising exam texts, this is something concrete that you can do as preparation for the final test.

VWO woordenlijsten:

• I have a number of paper copies, if you prefer studying from paper. 

Let's practise:

• with some of the signaalwoorden from p. 1-10 from the list.
• Some of you may have seen these questions before earlier this year.

The best way to prepare for reading tests:

In my opinion, the best way is a combination of:

• studying the word list on Teams (the "signaalwoordenlijst", so at least pages 1-10)
• PRACTICE (on Examenkracht / on paper)
