H1Upa - Reading

Learning objective

I can use reading strategies (predicting, summarising, and guessing) to understand a text.

I can identify the main idea and important details in each paragraph of a text.

I can answer questions about a text using evidence (words or sentences) from the text to support my answers.

Reading strategies

There are three ways to read a text:

1- skimming (exploring); reading rapidly to get the main idea of a text.

You do this by looking at the heading, subheadings, pictures, introduction, summary and reading the first and last sentences of paragraphs.

2- scanning; quickly moving your eyes across a text to find specific information like date, name, number, year, or time.

3- intensive reading; reading the whole text, look up the meaning of words you don't know.
