Reading Comprehension | Views: 27,815 | Level: All Levels | 5 out of 5, rated by 17 teachers |
This worksheet contains teacher's notes and detailed explanations for four great reading activities: Pleasantries, Imagine, Close Up, and Storytime.
Each comes with detailed notes on what the stages are and what the teacher should do, etc.
All four Reading activities have as a common aim the transfer of natural first language strategies to second language reading. • Prediction activities will encourage students to anticipate possible meanings before reading in English, just as they do naturally in their native language. • Reading for the gist (instead of word by word) and guessing meanings from the context as they read will both stimulate natural reading habits. • Visualisation plays a big part in reading comprehension and will improve students' innate ability to make pictures in their head. • Summarising introduces the students to the feel of text structure.
