How Do We Get Ready Before Reading?
Before reading a new text, we do not need to understand every single word immediately. Instead, we can look at clues around the text to guess what it is about.
Here are three simple steps to prepare:
- Look at the title: The title gives us the main topic of the text.
- Check the pictures: Images show us the setting, the people, and the objects.
- Remember your own life: Think about your own home, street, or town. What do you already know about these places?
Words That Give Us Clues
In this unit, our texts tell stories about where people live and what they do in their free time.
Different Types of Houses
- Apartment / Flat: A home in a tall building with many floors.
- Detached house: A house with its own garden, not joined to another building.
- Cottage: A small, cosy house usually found in a village or the countryside.
Places for Fun and Recreation
- Park and playground: Places to walk, ride a bike, and play games with friends.
- Amusement park: A place with fun rides, like roller coasters and carousels.
- Museum: A place where we look at art, history, or science objects.
- Sports centre: A building where people swim, play basketball, or exercise.
How to Make Good Predictions
When you see words or pictures about places, you can make clever guesses about the story before reading the full paragraphs.
Example:
Imagine the title of a text is "A Busy Saturday at Green Park", and you see a picture of bicycles and trees.
- What you already know: People go to parks at the weekend to relax, run, or ride bikes.
- Your prediction: The text is probably about outdoor activities, games, and spending time in nature with family or friends.
- What the text is NOT about: It is probably not about buying clothes in a shopping mall or doing homework in a classroom.
Using clues helps your brain get ready to understand the text faster and better!
