• ... 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!
