Pre-reading
What is previewing the text?
This strategy asks learners to recall what they already know about a topic before reading.
What is teaching vocabulary in context?
Instead of teaching isolated word lists, this approach helps learners guess meanings from surrounding text.
What are evaluative questions?
Questions like “Do you agree?” or “What’s your opinion?” fall under this type of reading question.
What is schema activation?
This approach helps learners make meaning by linking new text to familiar ideas.
What is integrating reading with speaking and writing?
After reading, students might debate or write reflections to practice this.
What are pre-reading activities?
Tools like brainstorming, mind mapping, and KWL charts are used in this stage.
What is word formation analysis?
This process includes looking at word parts like prefixes, suffixes, and roots to understand meaning.
What are inferential questions?
Asking “Why?” or “What can we conclude?” targets this level of understanding.
What is lexical inferencing?
This strategy ensures that students don’t just guess but apply a process to understand words in text.
What is using multimodal resources?
Using visuals, audio, and digital tools in a reading lesson refers to this approach.
What is schema theory?
This theory supports the idea that comprehension improves when learners connect new text to existing knowledge.
What is modeling reading strategies explicitly?
Teachers can show students how to scan or skim by doing this during a lesson.
What are literal questions?
Asking “Who?” “What?” “When?” relates to this level of comprehension.
What is explicitly teach reading strategies?
Teachers should not assume students know how to skim, scan, or infer; instead, they should do this.
What is differentiated instruction?
E-books with glossaries or collaborative online reading platforms help support this type of instruction.
What are KWL charts?
These types of charts allow students to track what they know, want to know, and have learned.
What is think-aloud modeling?
This technique involves thinking aloud while reading to show strategy use.
What is metacognitive awareness?
Tools like reading logs and strategy checklists help build this type of awareness.
What is extensive reading
This kind of reading promotes fluency and motivation by exposing students to large amounts of input.
What is alternative or continuous assessment?
Reading journals, portfolios, and peer assessments are examples of this.
Who are Anderson and Pearson?
The scholars who developed schema theory.
What is extensive vocabulary exposure through reading?
Nation (2001) argues that this is one of the best ways to build vocabulary.
What is self-regulation or metacognitive reflection?
When students reflect on the strategies they used and what helped them, they are doing this. What is finding the theme?
What is Bloom’s taxonomy?
This taxonomy is reflected in the progression of reading questions from literal to evaluative.
What is constructive feedback?
Giving students actionable input on their strengths and weaknesses in reading helps with this.
