Reading comprehension strategies

 Read the title and predict what the text might be about.
 Look at any illustration. What do they tell you about the topic ?

 Look at the text over and note its lenght, organization, source to identify the type of

document. Pay attention to the punctuation.
 Read for gist (= read the text to get the general idea of its content : who ? What ?

When ? WHere ?)
 Read a second time – more closely.

 Read the questions completely
 Scan the text to look for answers only one question at a time.

 When you come to a word you don’t know, try to infer (deduce ; guess) its meaning by

examining the context clues or the word parts (suffixes, prefixes, root words).

Dictionaries should only be used as a last resort
