The document discusses five key strategies for IELTS reading: 1) Skimming involves quickly reading a text to get an overall idea, 2) Scanning quickly reads a text to find specific information like names and figures, 3) Mapping translates reading into mind maps to retrieve information, 4) Predicting anticipates what will be read using titles and experience, 5) Paraphrasing rephrases text using different words without changing meaning. Creating mind maps and using paraphrasing techniques like synonyms can improve IELTS reading scores.
