Gist/skimming
- Short time, read quickly
- Don't need to read every word
- Get a general understanding of the text
- Give task before they read or listen so they can look for it
Specific information/scanning
- Answers are easy to find
- Don't need to think about the meaning
- The words in the questions are similar/related to the words in the text
Detail (comprehension)
- Requires students to think a bit
- Need to understand the text and context to answer the questions
- Need to read more slowly and carefully
Guessing meaning from context
- Includes some new words
- Read text then use what they've learnt to answer questions
- Afterwards use CCQs and drill to check that they have understood the meaning and pronunciation
Reading for inference (reading between the lines)
- Need a deep understanding of the text
- The answers can't be specifically found in a particular sentence or part of the text
- Requires the students to make assumptions based on what they have read
