Week 20 - Lesson 2

Reading

Today's class

At the end of this class I...

• ... can use the different reading strategies.

Reading strategies

- Orientation

- Skim the text

- Read the questions

- Decide where in the text you can find the answer: scan the text.

Orientation

You always start with this

• Your goal at the start is to get a first impression.
• Lay-out: chat, newspaper article, menu? etc.
• First impression: title, sub-headings, pictures
• Expectations: what's it about? What do you already know about this topic?

Skimming 

• Read the first and last sentence of every paragraph.
• Just try to find out what the text is about, skip the details.
• Don't worry about difficult or unknown words.
• Look at paragraphs in bold.
• Use skimming for questions about the whole text. Look for clues to support the right answer.

Scanning 

• Looking for certain information.
• For example in which year something happened or the price of something.
• You don't have to read the rest of the text if you find the answer.

Let's practice!

Reading intently

Reading the text attentively line by line, looking for the answer to the question
