What is a….?
Heading? Or subheading? Or a caption? Etc.
You will need to teach all of these things before you explicitly teach this strategy or while you are doing it.
Make sure the students know what they are.
Give them lots of examples and time to practice.
Most importantly they really need to get in the habit of doing this before they read a text.
You may also need to get in this habit too. ;) Slide9Slide10Slide11
Predicting from the title….the importance of understanding…..Slide12
Passage A
Our craft, Trieste, is finally nearing the unworldly surface. It seems like forever that we’ve been drifting through the darkness, but at last we can make out the small hills and valleys on the surface below.
On this journey we hope to encounter living things, but around our craft there isn’t yet any sign of life.

Where does Skimming fit in?
Skimming is helpful for students to get the main idea of the text before reading.
It assists them to predict and can be used in conjunction with Previewing.
It can be hard to “sell” to some students who feel as if skimming is “cheating” and who are detail
focussed
.
I often use the analogy of…Slide15
Skimming
Skimming :
to read over a text quickly to get the main idea and supporting information.
Previewing
in order to Predict.
When to use it :
when you want a quick idea of a text before you starting answering questions or seeking information.
How to skim :
Read through the
text quickly
to get the main idea or the big picture
Look at the headings, subheadings, diagrams, captions, pictures and words in bold or italics.
Read the 1
st
and last paragraphs.
A particular type of text will
introduce the topic in the first paragraph and summarise in the final paragraph.

Making Connections
http://lessoncast.org/lesson/making-connections-beyond-a-reading-strategy/Slide22
Good readers use their own background knowledge and prior experiences to make connections.
There are 3 different ways that a reader can make connections …
How do readers make connections?Slide23
Text – to – Self
Text – to - Text
Text – to - World
Types of ConnectionsSlide24
Connection:
Text – to - Self
These are connections that readers make between
the text (what you are reading) and their own past experiences and/or background knowledge.
We are reading a text on Ancient Egypt. I’ve travelled to Egypt with my family and I’ve seen the Pyramids. I have photographs at home of them and also the Sphinx. My grandmother was born in Egypt. Slide25
Connection:
Text – to - Text
These are connections that readers make between the text they are reading and other texts the reader has read before. Other kinds of texts might include books, poems, scripts, songs, or anything written. You could even include movies or television shows that you have seen before.
We are reading Romeo and Juliet. I’ve seen the movie
Gnomeo
and Juliet and also the movie with Leo in it. I’ve also read another book by the same author called
McBeth
. Slide26
Connection:
Text – to - World
These are connections that readers make between the text and the bigger issues, events, or concerns of society.
To make these types of connections the reader must think about what is going on in the world around them.
We are reading about Volcanoes. I saw on the news that a volcano in Ecuador erupted but thankfully so far no one has been hurt or died from the flow of lava. I also remember there was ash from one that stopped planes on the other side of the world being able to take off from airports.Slide27
Verbal Reponses –
The reader would discuss the connections they made with a text aloud with others in a group.
Written Responses –
The reader would write the connections they could make with a text down on a sheet of paper or in a response journal.
Response Options for Sharing ConnectionsSlide28
“That reminds me of …”
“Remember when ..”
“This is like …”
“This character makes me
think of …”
“This setting reminds me of …”
