PRE-READING IDEAS
Chunking: Chunk the reading materials into more
manageable parts so reading feels more achievable to
students from the start.
Pre-reading discussion: Prior to reading, lead a class
discussion to draw upon past experiences, prior learning, and
relevance that relates to the new material.
Pre-reading text survey: Preview the reading. Discuss
layout, organization, elements, titles, helpful tips, end-of-
chapter material, quotes, bold text, italicized text, bulleted text,
photos, charts, or other graphics.
Pre-reading anticipation guides: Develop student questions:
Formulating questions helps them think more critically about
the material being read or learned.

49. Create a reading frame: Design an advanced
organizer designed to match the elements and
patterns of the text so students likewise
organize their learning.
Re-read: Require a second reading of material
with a new purpose.
Model comprehension process or think
aloud: Talk aloud to the students about what
you are thinking while you are reading. You
can talk about drawing conclusions, making
connections, or asking more questions
(monitoring your comprehension).

the source and the target themselves, which
is often, though not necessarily, a similarity,
as in the biological notion of analogy.

61. Skimming and scanning

62. • Skimming
• Sometime you may retrieve a lot of
information – for example, a pile of
books or a long list of websites from a
search engine. It helps if you are able to
decide quickly whether the information is
likely to be of any use to you.
• In situations such as this, skimming
comes in handy. It is a useful skill to
practise because it can save you a lot of
time.

63. What is skimming?
• Skimming is quickly casting your eyes over a piece
of text to get the gist of it – and to discover if it is of
interest or relevance to you. There are often clues
in the text to help you – for example:
• Headings
• words in bold
• “pull quotes in shaded boxes”
• pictures
• bullet points.
• You skim a text to find out the sort of things it does
and does not tell you

64. Scanning

65. Scanning
• Once you have identified sources of information that
are likely to be of use to you by skimming, you will
probably need to look at them more closely in order
to get all the information that you need.
• The good news is that you may not need to read
your texts from beginning to end. There is another
technique that can save you a lot of time and effort. It
is called scanning.
• Scanning is when you look at a piece of text to see if
you can spot a keyword or a heading to locate
specific information.
