Skimming
and Scanning
Skimming and Scanning are two key
skills of reading for find answer. The following exercise will
help the students to practice these, will
increase their exposure to different kinds of texts, and will increase their
awareness of the different consonant blends. There are many steps
to students practice skimming and
scanning for reading.
First, choose a page of text which can
easily be photocopied onto a single A4 page. This can be from any kind of book,
and if the activity is repeated, try to vary the kinds of texts that you use (e.g.
stories, information books, pages from dictionaries). Make sure that each child
has one copy. They should also have access to colored pens and / or pencils.
Second, read through the text with the
students to give them a general
understanding of it. For example, Students read
directions and question in text
for understanding.
Third, The main part of the activity
can be tried in two different ways. For example, Gives the students
a time limit (e.g. 5 minutes) and ask them to find as many occurrences
of a certain consonant blend (e.g. "ch") as possible. They should
color each "ch" on the page in
a certain colour (e.g. red), whether the "ch" is found at the
beginning, in the middle or at the end of a word. At the end of the time, ask
them to count the number of "ch"s they have found. Before the lesson,
count how many "ch"s there are on the page. Then, instead of getting
the children to find as many of these as possible in a certain time, ask them
to find them all (telling them how many there are on the page), colouring them
in as above. The first person to find all of them wins. forth, asks them to
find a different blend (e.g. "st"), making sure that they color these in using a different color.
Finally, repeat the activity using
different texts, and finding different blends. This is fun practice for
identifying keywords.
Conclusions, I can
apply techniques or steps to
teaches students in the future because
it is reading strategies.
