Assalamualaikum.
Lesson for today is Reading Comprehension. We need to know all
the techniques that we can use when we do the reading comprehension questions.
The techniques are skimming and scanning. Skimming is the process of quickly
identify the main ideas. There are some tips for us to do better skimming which
are read the document or report-quickly, only the main point; read the first
and the last paragraphs using headings, summaries; read the headings,
sub-headings and illustration. When seeking a specific information, consider
reading the first sentence of each paragraph and take note of any italicised or
boldfaces word or phrases. Skimming works well for finding dates as well as
names of people and places. It is also useful for reviewing graphs, tables and
charts.
Next, scanning is a reading skill used to find specific
information quickly. While contextual reference have four types that are
rewording the main word, giving its synonym, giving its antonym and giving
details.
After that, we had to divide into 4 groups because Miss Zu
wants to do some activity about reading comprehension.
That's all :)
