Reading strategies:
What do you do before you read the text? Answer in English

Look at the title, pictures, subheadings and the source to figure out what kind of text it is and what it will be about. Then think about if you already have some knowledge on this topic.

Reading strategies:

Reading strategies:
What can you do if you don't know a word in the text? (you have no dictionary) Answer in English

Question types

• Meerkeuze vragen
• Beweringen & stellingen: Waar/niet waar of juist/onjuist
  

Meerkeuze

Good to know:

The answer of the question is ALWAYS in the text itself. Sometimes it's phrased differently so look out for that

Meerkeuze

Which strategy would you use with this question?

1. Thinking of my own answer and then checking if it's one of the answers
2. Dividing up the answers and seeing which fits the text the best

Now give your answer

3. .

Stellingen/beweringen

Often, a statement question consists of multiple statements that you have to mark as true or false / correct or wrong / etc. 

It's also possible that you have to find the statement in the text in different words. This is really a multiple choice question, because you have to pick between paragraphs. 

 

Let's look back at the goals

1. At the end of the lesson you correctly deal with multiple choice questions when reading.
2. At the end of the lesson you correctly deal with statement questions when reading.
3. At the end of the lesson you have practiced reading with a part of an exam.
