Reading strategies

Leesstrategieën:

Hoe pak je een tekst aan?

leesstrategie

skimming = globaal lezen, om een idee te krijgen waar het over gaat 

scanning = snel zoeken naar bepaalde informatie

intensive reading = zo goed lezen dat je alles begrijpt

Voor het lezen

• bekijk de titel/tussenkop/plaatjes/inleiding
  
• wat weet je al van het onderwerp?
• raad wat je denkt te lezen in de tekst

Skimming!

Tijdens het lezen

• ga gericht op zoek naar informatie in de tekst
  
• kijk in welke alinea je moet zoeken
• namen/getallen/plaatsnamen
• kijk welke antwoorden het zeker niet zijn.

Scannen!

Tijdens het lezen

• wat is het doel van de tekst?
  
• probeer de hoofdgedachte uit elke tekst/alinea te halen
• raad onbekende woorden als jij denkt dat deze belangrijk zijn
• probeer meningen en feiten uit elkaar te halen

Intensief lezen!

leesstrategie

Meestal moet je leesstrategieën combineren. 

Skimmen moet je altijd doen. 

Of je moet scannen of intensief lezen, hangt af van de informatie waar je naar op zoek bent. 

 

Texts are organised

Elke tekst bestaat uit:

- inleiding / opening / introductie

- verhaal

- conclusie / afsluiting 

Texts are structured

Sequence and chronology:

weergave van gebeurtenissen in chronologische volgorde of lijst van stappen om iets te doen of te maken 

(first, second, third ..., next, after that, finally, meanwhile)

Texts are structured

Comparison and contrast:

Vergelijkingen, tegenstellingen of overeenkomsten

(just like, too, opposite, on the other side, although)

Texts are structured

Cause and effect:

oorzaak en gevolg, waarom iets gebeurt en wat gebeurt er daarna

(because, since, consequently)

Texts are structured

Andere manieren:

- probleem en oplossing

- beschrijving

Reading text: An email from a friend 

Hi Samia, 

Quick email to say that sounds like a great idea. Saturday is better for me because I’m meeting my parents on Sunday. So if that’s still good for you, why don’t you come here? Then you can see the new flat and all the work we’ve done on the kitchen since we moved in. We can eat at home and then go for a walk in the afternoon. It’s going to be so good to catch up finally. I want to hear all about your new job! 

Our address is 52 Charles Road, but it’s a bit difficult to find because the house numbers are really strange here. If you turn left at the post office and keep going past the big white house on Charles Road, there’s a small side street behind it with the houses 50–56 in. Don’t ask me why the side street doesn’t have a different name! But call me if you get lost and I’ll come and get you. 

Let me know if there’s anything you do/don’t like to eat. Really looking forward to seeing you! 

See you soon! 

Gregor

Samia and Gregor are going to meet on ...

1. Saturday
2. Friday
3. Sunday
