Reading practice

Slide 1 - Tekstslide

The rest of the year
Only one more test!

Which will be about reading and irregular verbs

Slide 2 - Tekstslide

What were irregular verbs again? Explain what they are and give me an example

Slide 3 - Open vraag

Onregelmatige werkwoorden
Usually, a verb gets -ed at the end in the past tense

With irregular verbs this is NOT the case, the change form

fight-fought-fought
become-became-become
fly-flew-flown

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Do you start by reading the questions or by reading the text?
A
Questions
B
Text

Slide 5 - Quizvraag

Where do you start?
Starting by reading the questions is faster, you should do this unless you can read quickly
Looking at the questions first tells you what to look for in a text
The questions are in the order of the text

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

What do you do if you don't know a word?

Slide 7 - Open vraag

What if you don't know a word?
First, decide: is the word important? Do I need to know it to understand the text?
Strategy 1: decide what the word means by looking at the context. Is it a verb or a noun? Is it positive or negative? Does it contain parts of words you know?
Strategy 2: if you are allowed to have a dictionary, look up the word. Watch out, this takes quite a lot of time!

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Slide 9 - Video

What is this text about? How do you know?

Slide 10 - Open vraag

How do you know what a text is about?

  •  Look at the title. What does it tell you?
  • Look at the pictures (if there are any).
  • Are there any headers (tussenkopjes), or words in bold or italics? Those might help you!
  • Look at the questions. Do they have any information about the text?

Slide 11 - Tekstslide

What are signal words? Why are they in a text?

Slide 12 - Open vraag

Signal words

Signal words (also known as linking words) are the 'signs' that help you find your way in a text

They tell us how different parts of the text are linked

Signal words are very important for reading!

Slide 13 - Tekstslide

Write down the signal
words you know.

Slide 14 - Woordweb

Some categories of signal words
  • Addition: something else is going to be added to what was already said.
  • Comparison: the writer is going to say how two things are the same.
  • Contrast: the writer is going to say how two things are different.
  • Time: information about when something happens, or in what order.
  • Example: the writer gives an example of what they are talking about.
  • Summary: the writer repeats the most important points of the text.
  • Explanation: the writer gives a reason why.
  • Conclusion/consequence: the writer says what message we should take from the text, or what will happen because of the things he's describing.
