14. IN ORDER TO “WORK” READINGS, WE NEED TO BE
FAMILIAR WITH THE FOLLOWING TEACHING READING
TECHNIQUES:
◦ Predicting.- to say what will happen after reading the
title or looking at the pictures in the reading exercise.
◦ Skimming.- reading rapidly for the main ideas.
◦ Scanning.- reading rapidly to find a specific piece of
information.
◦ Making inferences.- to form an opinion or guess that
something is true because of the information that you
have. This means that the information is never clearly
stated.

15. ◦ Analyzing vocabulary.-antonyms, contrasting,
pictures.
◦ Asking and answering comprehension questions.
◦ Summarizing.- to express the most important facts or
ideas about something in a short and clear form.
◦ Paraphrasing.-to repeat something written or spoken
using different words.
◦ Personalizing the reading to students’ experiences.
