Reading Strategies

Pre-reading fase 

• Look at the title, pictures, table of contents (; de inhoudsopgave)
• Look at cursive/bold words, headings and subheadings
• Read introduction and conclusion
• Skim (look for main idea in a text without going into detailed reading)

• Think: What do I think this text is about (prediction)
  Think: Do I already know about the topic?  (prior knowledge)
• Look at the questions

Take one minute. Look at the title, picture, cursive/fat words and make a prediction:
what could this text be about?

Open workbook & Do #17

Reading fase 

After reading the questions you start reading the text. 

• Read full text
• Read critically: keep questions in mind & discover answers while reading
• Read actively: mark where you think the answers to the questions are
• Look up and write down difficult words
• Scan (read text quickly in order to find specific information)

> Usually, the text and questions are built up chronologically: the answer on the first question can be found before the answer on the second question.

Take 2 minutes to scan the text.
Are there any difficult words, which ones?

After reading fase

After reading think about what you have read.
Check the questions again and see if you've been able to answer all of them. Make sure you're able to summarize (;samenvatten) what the text is about.

• Make a brief summary of the main ideas
• Revise (;corrigeren/nakijken) answers to questions

Reading strategies

It's a lot of info, but you can do it!

• Skimming
  Grasp the general idea or gist of a text. Quickly read the table of contents, headings, bold/cursive words etc.
  Read the first and last paragraphs and the first and last sentence of each paragraph in a relevant section.
  
  
• Scanning
  Locate precise information. Identify key terms which will alert you to where your subject is being addressed. You could then run your eyes over a text looking for these.

• Detailed reading
  Critically read and consider the text. This may involve close reading (; volledig en vaker lezen) of the entire text, or of important sections of the text.

• Revision reading
  Quickly reading through the text with which you are already familiar, in order to confirm answers and understanding.
