Slide 13 - Slide

Reading strategy difficult words
STEP 1--> Important or unimportant?
Ask yourself: Is this word important to understand the text?

Step 2--> unimportant? read ahead

Step 3--> Important? ---> look at the context of the text
- What does the title mean? Is there something on the pictures that could help me?  What kind of text is it? (activate pre- knowledge)

Slide 15 - Slide

Reading strategy difficult words
Step 4--> Important?--> have a look at the structure of the word itself
Sometimes you recognise a part of the word already --> For example: Unimportant= you know important. Or irregular, you know regular. 

Step 5-->Important? -->Read around the word--> why?
Because there might be a word that means the same. 
Or a word that is the opposite. 
Or they explain the word in the text a bit further away. 

STEP 5--> Important or unimportant?
Ask yourself: Is this word important to understand the text?

Step 2--> unimportant? read ahead

Step 3--> Important? ---> look at the context of the text
- What does the title mean? Is there something on the pictures that could help me?  What kind of text is it? (activate pre- knowledge)

How do you find a difficult word in the dictionary?

Slide 20 - Open question

Looking up words in the dictionary
Step 1: what kind of word is it?>verb,noun, adjective? Some words cannot be found in the dictionary (like names of places or persons) and some words will look different (like verbs)
Step 2:  start with the first letter of the word, then second, third letter or more  untill you find the right word. 
For example: "House"> first look "H", then "O", then "U" and so on untill you find the word you need.

Step 3: look at the translations. If there are more translations, the most common one is shown first. Try this one first!
