Lesson Focus: Reading Academic Texts
The texts you read in school are different from the texts you read during your leisure time. While
texts you read for pleasure, such as graphic novels or magazines, can be likened to the appeal of
sweet desserts, academic texts are more like the heavy main course. More often than not they
need to be chewed and savored for a long time before their meanings can be fully digested.
(Barrot, Sipacio 2016)
Some examples of academic texts are: articles in scholarly journals,

conference/symposium/workshop/seminar papers, reviews/critiques, theses, dissertations,
research papers, etc.
Watch the video “Academic Texts vs. Non-Academic Texts” in You Tube for the comparison
between academic and non-academic texts. (optional)

WHY READ ACADEMIC TEXTS?
 To better understand an existing idea

 To get ideas that can support a particular reading assignment
 To gain more information
 To identify gaps in existing studies
 To connect new ideas to existing ones
STRUCTURE, CONTENT and STYLE
 Typically formal
 Clearly structured introduction, body and conclusion
 Include information from credible and well-cited sources
 Include a list of references
 State critical questions and issues
 Use precise and accurate words while avoiding jargon and colloquial expressions
 Take an objective point-of-view
 Use hedging or cautious language (may, might, estimate, probable, virtually, if true, likely)
CRITICAL READING STRATEGIES
A. Before Reading (Pre-Reading)

- Determine text type (article, thesis, review, etc.)
- Determine and establish purpose for reading
- Identify author’s purpose
- Predict/Infer main idea/argument/thesis statement
- Identify reaction to author and text
- Apply the KWL Method
- Determine target audience
- Check publication date
- Check reference list (bibliography)
- Use concept map or graphic organizer in applying the KWL Method
B. During Reading (Reading Proper)

- Annotate (to supply with critical or explanatory notes; comment upon in notes) important
parts of the text
C. After Reading (Post-Reading)

- Reflect on what you learned
- React on some parts of the text through writing
- Discuss some parts with your teacher or classmates

D. OTHER READING STRATEGIES
 SQ3R Method
- Survey (Skim the text, check heading, tables, diagrams and figures, read first few and
last sentences, get a “feel” of the text)
- Question (Annotate, develop questions on the text)
- Read (Look for answers, stop and slow down if not clear, thoroughly understand text)
- Recite/Recall (Recount main points, summarize, highlight/underline important points)
- Review (Refresh main points, evaluate information)
 KWL Method
- In a table of three columns, write what you know about the topic (K), list down what you
want to learn (W), and write down what you learned (L).

Activity Sheets
Name: ____________________________________
Grade and Section: _________________________
Quarter/ Week: _____________________________
A. Pre-Activity
Directions: Carefully read the following texts. If you think they are “academic” in nature,
write A on the blank before the number. For those statements that you consider to be “non-
academic” in nature, write NA on the blank.
Example:
A 1. Due to insufficient data gathered, the researcher recommends additional experimental

observation.
Begin here:
______1. “The world is changing today, dear Argonax…the time of the Revoltech Knights has
come.”
______2. This is the first generation of students who are more proficient with technology than their
teachers are.
______3. The terrorists never stood a chance as they and their weapons vaporized in 3.006
seconds from the blast of the Corbian Orb.
______4. Raising his Rayon Shield to maximum, the bloodied Revoltech Knight ran full-force
towards the squad of Dragon Troopers.
______5. Teachers who fumble with technology will struggle to persuade students to focus on the
lesson.

Region III
Directions: Carefully read and study the lecture sheets, power point presentations, video
lessons and readings (to be sent/provided by the teacher), and answer the following questions
completely and appropriately. Answers can be hand or typewritten. If you opt for handwritten
documents, use a black-inked pen and yellow paper. If you prefer typewritten documents, use the
Arial Font Style, sized 12. Do not write anything on these sheets.
1. How are academic texts different from non-academic texts? How are they similar? Explain
your answers in a five to eight-sentence paragraph.
2. Rewrite the following statements to make them sufficiently correct:
A. Academic texts are typically informal and colloquial in nature. They provide the reader
with rumors and hearsays from incredible sources and are always personal and
subjective in point-of-view.
B. As part of the critical reading strategies for an academic text, it is essential that a reader
annotate its important parts after reading and identify the author’s purpose.
C. The “S” in the SQ3R method stands for survey which basically means recounting the
main points of the text by highlighting and underlining them.
3. Why do you think academic texts are compared to the heavy main course in a meal?
NOTE: Answers per item are scored 5, 3, 1 point(s) based on appropriateness.

read. Refer to B. Activity Proper for instructions on writing documents.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All answer sheets must be submitted at the end of the week by the parents.
Please coordinate with the subject teacher regarding the process of acquiring and submitting of
the sheets.
