Dear visitor,

1-Read with purpose
Before you begin reading, try to determine the
purpose of the reading as it relates to the rest of
the course curriculum. You should first pinpoint
the type of information that can be gleaned from
the text: does the resource contain data and
figures you need to memorize, or does it describe
abstract concepts you need to be familiar with in
order to progress in the course?
Everyday reading, such as reading a novel or
magazine, is usually done for pleasure.
Academic reading is usually quite different from
this. When reading academic texts, your general
purpose is likely to be one the following:
2-Master the art of ‘skimming'
Rather than poring over an assigned text in its
entirety, skimming the pages for important content
saves you a lot of time and reading energy.
Skimming] is not just reading in a hurry, or reading
sloppily, or reading the last line and the first line.
It's actually a disciplined activity in its own right.
A good skimmer has a systematic technique for
finding the most information in the least amount
of time.”
3-Master the art of scanning
Learners are divided into groups. Each group should
learn how to get the specific details of the reading
text. They must get the reading text data, facts,
reasons, results, the problem and its solution.
4-Impose time limits
Despite the common practice of all-night cram
sessions, most academic experts agree that
students should set time limits for their academic
readings – and stick to them.
A carefully budgeted reading schedule allots
more than enough time to complete the work,
re-read the material once or twice to increase
memorability, and compose some useful notes
about the text.
5-Taking Notes as You Read
Every student has his or her own preferred
technique of academic note-taking. Whichever
method you choose, the same rule applies: clear,
informative notes are fundamental to successful
memorization.
The Reading
Strategy
Learners form 4 groups. The 4 groups look at
the reading passage title and pictures to guess
the reading text content. The 4 groups read the
reading teaxt extensively and silently to skim the
general ideas of the text.
But the most effective approach that we’ve found,
and tested on thousands of people, is called the
blank sheet. It’s the single easiest change you
can make to reading that will 10x your ability to
recall what you’re reading.
Here’s how it works:
Before you start reading a new book, take out a
blank sheet of paper. Write down what you know
about the subject you’re about to read — a mind
map if you will.
After you are done a reading session spend a
few minutes adding to the map (we use a
different color ink).
Before you start your next reading session,
review the mindmap (we use ours as a
bookmark sometimes.)
Put these mind maps into a binder that you
periodically review.
The group answer:
What/Who were the characters, places, and
events that took place?
1-Learners are divided into groups. They read
the text extensively and silently to skim the
main ideas.
2-The 4 groups read the reading text intensively
to scan the specific details.The groups answer
the questions on the reading text in groups:
What happened in the story?
Think of reading as a conversation between you
and the author. One of the ways you can process
a conversation with someone who is not there is
to write the margins. It’s ok to question the author
or disagree. This is how we think.
The teacher tours the classroom to monitor,
observe, facilitate and guide the learners to
answer the exercises on the reading text
Post-Reading : (Games)
Learners do the exercises of the reading text
in groups:
1.What are some of the advantages of using
vocabulary games, according to the research
mentioned in the article?
Do you agree?
Why or why not?
2-What new information have you learned from
the book?
3.Think about the games discussed in the article
(Hangman, Speed Words, Word Wall Crawl,
Chopstick Take, Changing Register, Keep or
Toss?). Choose one of them and try to think
of a variation of the game that will address
more of the items in the Word Knowledge Matrix.
4.Choose one of the games you analyzed in
Pre-Reading Question 2. Complete the Word
Knowledge Matrix below for that game.
Here are some strategies for improving your
comprehension skills.
