This document discusses several reading comprehension techniques: anticipation, where readers predict what will come next based on prior knowledge; inference, where readers make educated guesses about unknown words based on context clues; skimming, where readers quickly review a passage to understand the main topic and ideas; scanning, where readers quickly look for specific details; and reference, where words or phrases in a text refer to other words mentioned. These techniques help readers actively engage with a text and better understand its meaning and content.
