Reading strategies
Kinds of questions:
  • Multiple choice
  • True/false or correct/incorrect: Statements (beweringen/stellingen)

What kind of strategy should you use when reading a text and answering questions about that text?

Slide 4 - Slide

Reading Comprehension Strategies
  • What’s the title?  Is there a picture?...  Is there a source?  This gives you a general idea
  • Read through the questions (how many are there?)
  • Skim the text first
  • Read the text
  • Answer the questions.  When answering each question, scan the paragraph the question is referring to to search for the answer (if the question refers to a specific paragraph, only focus on that paragraph to find the answer!).
  • Don’t focus too much on words you don’t know!  Try and guess the meaning in the context.  You don’t need to know every word to understand the general idea.
