TEACHING TIPS:

Jigsaw reading

For longer pieces of reading, put Ss in pairs and give them a section each to read.
When they have finished reading, encourage the Ss to tell each other what they
have read and to ask each other questions. Then allow time for them to read the full
piece.

Encourage prediction

As with listening, being able to predict what’s coming can help understanding. Tell
the Ss they are going to read a text.

What’s the context?

Knowing the context of a text can help Ss with the content and aim. Put Ss in pairs
and give them time to answer a set of questions in task 2.
