Strategies that can help students read more
quickly and effectively include the following :
1. Previewing : A student should review the titles, section headings and photo captions to get
a sense of the structure and content of a reading selection.
2. Predicting : He should use knowledge of the subject matter to make predictions about
content and vocabulary and check comprehension; he should use knowledge of the
text type and purpose to make predictions about what is being said in the text
and use knowledge about the author to make predictions about his writing style,
vocabulary and content.
3. Skimming and Scanning : A student can use a quick survey of the text to understand the main idea,
identify text structure and what type of questions may be asked in it.
4. Guessing from Context : A student can use prior knowledge of the subject and the ideas in the text
as clues to the meanings of unknown words, instead of stopping to look them up.
5. Paraphrasing : He should stop at the end of a
section to check comprehension by restating the information and ideas in the
text.
