Reading strategies

Read questions first

Have a look at title/ image/ subtitles

What can you do when you encounter a difficult word? (dictionary is not an option)

Difficult words

Guess the meaning from the context.

Does it look like another word you know?

Can you split the word into smaller parts?

Ignore it - this might help as well (not always...)

The world's largest wild camel population can be found in...

1. Tunesia
2. Egypt
3. China
4. Australia

Reading

Try to use some of the aforementioned reading strategies...

FYI: the English word camel is used for both 'kameel' and 'dromedaris'.
