Reading strategies

1. Skimming: Hoofdgedachte van de tekst begrijpen. Snappen waar het over gaat. 
2. Scanning: Zoeken naar specifieke informatie zoals namen, data etc. 
3. Intensive reading: De tekst volledig lezen en begrijpen.

Skimming

1. Read the title 
2. Read the introduction 
3. Search for the source (=bron) of your text
4. Look at pictures / images 
5. Look at bold or underlined words or words in italics. 

When I skim I do this:

Scanning 

1. Read the title and subheadings (=tussenkopjes)
2. Look for keywords that tell you more about what you are looking for in a text
3. Look at bold or underlined words or words in italics. 

When do you use the reading technique scanning?

1. Deciding if you want to read a news article or not.
2. Reading and understanding a complete text.
3. When you look for a date of birth.
4. While reading a recipe.

Intensive reading 

1. Read the complete text 
2. Pay attention to the introduction and subheadings (=tussenkopjes)
3. Look for the most important sentences and words 
4. Look up the meaning of difficult words 

You should always use intensive reading during a reading test...

YES! I agree with this statement

No... I disagree with this statement.

TIPS

1. First read the QUESTION+ANSWERS, then read the TEXT.
2. You don't need to know all the words in order to understand a text.
3. Practice, practice, practice! Skills need to be TRAINED.
