    3 Strategies
    Reading

    Reading is the active process of understanding


    print and graphic texts. Reading is a thinking process.
    Effective readers know that when they read, what they
    read is supposed to make sense. They monitor their
    understanding, and when they lose the meaning of what
    they are reading, they often unconsciously select and use

    Photo Credit: a reading strategy (such as rereading or asking


    https://www.pngegg.com/en/png-
    questions) that will help them reconnect with the meaning
    iqijy
    of the text. Reading skills and strategies can be taught explicitly
    while students are learning subject-specific content through
    authentic reading tasks

    What are the Different Reading Strategies?

    Strategies differ from reader to reader. The same reader may use different
    strategies for different contexts because their purpose for reading changes. Ask
    yourself “why am I reading?” and “what am I reading?” when deciding which strategies
    to try.

    What are the Purposes of Reading?


    People read different kinds of text (e.g., scholarly articles, textbooks, reviews)
    for different reasons. Some purposes for reading might be:
    • to scan for specific information
    • to skim to get an overview of the text
    • to relate new content to existing knowledge
    • to write something (often depends on a prompt)
    • to critique an argument
    • to learn something
    • for general comprehension

    Effective readers use strategies to understand what they read before, during,
    and after reading.

    Before reading, they:


    • use prior knowledge to think about the topic.
    • make predictions about the probable meaning of the text.
    • preview the text by skimming and scanning to get a sense of the overall
    meaning.

    During reading, they:


    • monitor understanding by questioning, thinking about, and reflecting on the
    ideas and information in the text.

    After reading, they:


    • reflect upon the ideas and information in the text.
    • relate what they have read to their own experiences and knowledge.
    • clarify their understanding of the text.
    • extend their understanding in critical and creative way
    ACTIVITY TIME!

    Activity 1: Directions: Complete these tasks. Match your Purpose in Reading with
    your Activity. Suppose your purpose is in the 1 st Column. Fill in the activity that you
    will do to achieve your purpose. The first one is done for you. Write your answer on
    the space provided..

    PURPOSE ACTIVITY

    I will look at headings, subheadings,


    Get an Overview of the Text
    intro, abstract.

    Search for a specific fact

    Check what theory the author is using

    Understand a concept

    Analyze the steps in an argument

    Compare ideas with what the author


    says
    POINTS TO REMEMBER!

    Effective reading: The following advice may seem obvious, but is important
    (general advice).
    • Consider where you read. Always read in a well-lit and quiet place that
    is free of distractions, and don’t get into the habit of reading uni
    materials in bed! (Unless you want to go to sleep).
    • Don’t vocalize as you read. This will slow you down, it won’t help
    concentration, and it will lead to bad reading approaches.
    • Read at times when you can concentrate, and maintain concentration by
    taking regular short breaks, perhaps every 30 or 45 minutes.
    • Set yourself reading tasks (10 pages, 1 chapter, 1 section of a chapter
    etc).
    • Remember that reading often takes longer than you expect and you
    often need to go beyond set texts. Give yourself enough time!
