– foto’s en afbeeldingen bij de tekst
– lijstjes, rijtjes of schema’s in de tekst
– anders gedrukte woorden (bijvoorbeeld vet, cursief, onderstreept, GROOT of gekleurd)
– de bron van de tekst. Die geeft informatie over het soort tekst dat je leest bijvoorbeeld een advertentie, interview of internetpagina.

Leren interpreteren

Verbanden zoeken in een tekst
Dit kan met het volgende stappenplan:

1. Een stelling: Formuleer een zin waarmee je zo precies mogelijk zegt hoe je iets uit de tekst hebt begrepen

2. Bewijs voor de stelling: Citeer of parafraseer (quote) een passage.

3. Duiding van het bewijs: Leg uit waarom dit het bewijs is.

4. Afsluitende terugkoppeling aan de stelling:
   Zeg kort wat je hebt ontdekt en eindig met wat je aan het begin zei
