Reading Strategies
For effectiveness and
accuracy
HSS 102 Spring 2019
Crucial Points
• When reading, focus not only on WHAT is
being said but also HOW it is being said.
• All communication is directed towards, and
therefore governed by, the intended audience.
• Texts vary in their purpose: they can be
argumentative, persuasive, descriptive,
historical, fictive, hypothetical, etc. or a
mixture of these. The purpose determines
how a text is organized.
Step 1 - Preview
• Preview
– Look at the title, the blurb, section
headings, illustrations (if any)
– Activate pre-knowledge on the subject
Step 2 - Skimming
Skimming helps to gather an overall idea of the
passage and makes it familiar
• Skim the passage: Run your eye through the
passage without stopping anywhere
– Read the first and last lines of each
paragraph (try to find the main idea in
each paragraph)
– Detect key words (repeated frequently)
for the passage
– Ask yourself: Is there an argument?
Practice Skimming
A controversial new book about the Princess of
Wales claims she attempted suicide on several
occasions over the last decade, and portrays her
as a deeply depressed and unstable character.
Author Andrew Morton insists he has reliable
sources for the allegations, which appear in
Diana: Her True Story. Buckingham Palace would
not comment on any specific claims, and said
Princess Diana did not co-operate with the
biography in any way whatsoever.
Step 3 – Close Reading
• Read the entire text carefully and while reading -
• Mark various parts of the text such as
– Introduction (of an idea or concept)
– Argument
– Examples
– Conclusion
–Description
to formulate an outline (flow of ideas) of the passage
• Examine why the text is divided into paragraphs or
subsections
• Underline words or phrases you do not understand
• Determine the tone and purpose of the passage by asking
yourself: is the author arguing, describing, explaining,
historicizing etc.?
Answer the following questions
• Part I
1. The author opens her/his text with a question. What purpose does that serve?
2. From the opening page, can you estimate what the writer’s standpoint is, and who
her/his intended audience is?
3. From the first page, point out instances where the author builds a conversational
relationship with her/his audience and how this happens.
4. How does the author indicate the complexity of what she/he is presenting?
5. What, according to the author, is a visible marker of modern science’s methodology?
• Part II
6. What is the focus of this paragraph and in what ways does it connect (or not connect)
to the previous subsection?
7. Is the text that you are reading a stand-alone essay or part of a book?
8. Name the crucial steps in the chronological history that the author draws in this
excerpt.
9. Based on the shifts that the author is tracing of the history of modern science, what
inferences can you draw about the nature of science itself?
10. “Galileo provided persuasive though not totally conclusive evidence for this law…” (5)
– what is the meaning of this sentence?
11. “To us this seems obvious…” (5) – what is the function of this phrase?
12. Pick out some of the more academic/specialist terms that the author has introduced
in these 5 pages.
Post Reading
• Compare and Contrast the ideas offered in the
passage to your own impressions on the
subject

2019 tutorial 1 reading strategies

  • 1. Reading Strategies For effectiveness and accuracy HSS 102 Spring 2019
  • 2. Crucial Points • When reading, focus not only on WHAT is being said but also HOW it is being said. • All communication is directed towards, and therefore governed by, the intended audience. • Texts vary in their purpose: they can be argumentative, persuasive, descriptive, historical, fictive, hypothetical, etc. or a mixture of these. The purpose determines how a text is organized.
  • 3. Step 1 - Preview • Preview – Look at the title, the blurb, section headings, illustrations (if any) – Activate pre-knowledge on the subject
  • 4.
  • 5. Step 2 - Skimming Skimming helps to gather an overall idea of the passage and makes it familiar • Skim the passage: Run your eye through the passage without stopping anywhere – Read the first and last lines of each paragraph (try to find the main idea in each paragraph) – Detect key words (repeated frequently) for the passage – Ask yourself: Is there an argument?
  • 6. Practice Skimming A controversial new book about the Princess of Wales claims she attempted suicide on several occasions over the last decade, and portrays her as a deeply depressed and unstable character. Author Andrew Morton insists he has reliable sources for the allegations, which appear in Diana: Her True Story. Buckingham Palace would not comment on any specific claims, and said Princess Diana did not co-operate with the biography in any way whatsoever.
  • 7. Step 3 – Close Reading • Read the entire text carefully and while reading - • Mark various parts of the text such as – Introduction (of an idea or concept) – Argument – Examples – Conclusion –Description to formulate an outline (flow of ideas) of the passage • Examine why the text is divided into paragraphs or subsections • Underline words or phrases you do not understand • Determine the tone and purpose of the passage by asking yourself: is the author arguing, describing, explaining, historicizing etc.?
  • 8. Answer the following questions • Part I 1. The author opens her/his text with a question. What purpose does that serve? 2. From the opening page, can you estimate what the writer’s standpoint is, and who her/his intended audience is? 3. From the first page, point out instances where the author builds a conversational relationship with her/his audience and how this happens. 4. How does the author indicate the complexity of what she/he is presenting? 5. What, according to the author, is a visible marker of modern science’s methodology? • Part II 6. What is the focus of this paragraph and in what ways does it connect (or not connect) to the previous subsection? 7. Is the text that you are reading a stand-alone essay or part of a book? 8. Name the crucial steps in the chronological history that the author draws in this excerpt. 9. Based on the shifts that the author is tracing of the history of modern science, what inferences can you draw about the nature of science itself? 10. “Galileo provided persuasive though not totally conclusive evidence for this law…” (5) – what is the meaning of this sentence? 11. “To us this seems obvious…” (5) – what is the function of this phrase? 12. Pick out some of the more academic/specialist terms that the author has introduced in these 5 pages.
  • 9. Post Reading • Compare and Contrast the ideas offered in the passage to your own impressions on the subject
