The Guide of Teaching Abilities with Literacy: Reading Strategies

Recognising the more important information in text; adjusting reading rate; skimming; previewing; using context to resolve a misunderstanding; formulating questions about information; monitoring cognition, including recognising problems with information presented in text or an inability to understand text are among the metacognitive skills which should be taken into consideration while reading.

AFTER READING There are activities on the school book aiming to monitor whether the students understand the texts or not. As the students studied for them at home, the activities are done under the teacher’s supervision. Language of questions, types of questions, testing skills, role of grammar in reading tests, role of vocabulary in reading tests, use of dictionaries in reading tests, and reading and intelligence are the factors that affect the difficulty of reading test items. Language of the questions should be understandable. The language of the text should be organized from simple to complex.
