Adventure games 2. Pre-reading by learning to read Consider these five types of reading, and write an occasion when you have used them: 1. Scanning

This is looking over a text quickly to get a specific piece of information.

On a piece of paper, complete this "I have used scanning to read..."

2. Skimming

Looking over the text quickly to get a general idea of the content. Your eyes move quite fast, taking in titles of chapters, their beginnings and ends, and the first sentences of paragraphs.

"I have skim read when...".

3. Sub-vocalisation

This is reading very slowly and methodically, either saying the words out loud or at least with a ‘voice’ in your head. It is painstaking but very slow. We tend to use it when trying out a recipe for the first time, or carrying out instructions as to how to assemble something we’ve bought.

"I have used sub vocalisation when...".

4. Light Reading

This is reading fairly quickly without concentrating too hard or worrying about every single word. We often use it when reading an enjoyable novel.

"I have used light reading when..."

5. Study Reading

Study reading involves thinking about what is being read so that it is understood and can be recalled. It needs to be worked at, with time for reflection, thought, analysis, criticism, comparison, notes made, points highlighted and emphasised, arguments followed and evaluated, the whole summarised. 3. Reading

On page 32 there is an article entitled

"HOW TO BECOME A SUCCESSFUL READER " You are going to read it aloud to the recording first.

Now read the text again to cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicative, darken the connectives and underline all the useful expressions.
