Another reading strategy to understand the text better is called: Ask yourself questions--> What do you think you have to do?

Reading strategy: Ask yourself questions

-While reading/searching for an answer, it's convenient to ask yourself questions constantly.

For example:

-What did I just read?

-Why does it say ....?

- Can I connect this to something I already know about this subject?

It's important to start a dialogue in your head. If you can summarise what you've just read, you understand the text!

Ask yourself questions

Model hoe ze zichzelf vragen moeten stellen!

What do you do if there is a word in the text you don't know?

Example of difficult word in text

‘Police auctioned Exhibit A’

--> Wat was hiervan het gevolg voor de verdachte? 

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) 

Example of difficult word in text

‘Police auctioned Exhibit A’

--> Wat was hiervan het gevolg voor de verdachte? 

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) 

Example of difficult word in text

‘Police auctioned Exhibit A’

--> Wat was hiervan het gevolg voor de verdachte? 

Reading strategy difficult words

Step 6--> Important?--> ask someone

If you are practising reading you could ask your neighbour or family what the word means

Example of difficult word in text

‘Police auctioned Exhibit A’

--> Wat was hiervan het gevolg voor de verdachte?
