1. Before You Start Reading

   When you see a new text in English, you do not need to read every single word immediately. Effective readers always prepare before reading. This helps your brain connect what you already know with what the text is about.

   Here are three simple steps to prepare for reading:

   • Look at the title and headings: The title gives the main topic of the text. Ask yourself: What do I already know about this topic?
   • Explore visual clues: Look at pictures, diagrams, and highlighted words. These show key actions and settings.
   • Make predictions: Guess what information or story will come next. You do not need to check every new word right now; guessing builds comprehension!

   Words for Daily Classroom Routines

   In our daily school life, we follow regular study routines and take part in different learning activities. Recognizing these words helps you understand reading texts much faster.

   Common Study Routines

   • Arrive on time: Coming to class before the bell rings.
   • Check the schedule: Looking at the timetable on the board.
   • Review notes: Reading your notebook before a short quiz.

   Learning Activities in the Classroom

   • Do pair work: Sharing ideas and practicing a dialogue with a classmate.
   • Solve problems: Working together to find answers in math or science.
   • Give a presentation: Speaking in front of the class about a project.
   • Take turns: Waiting politely while another student speaks or reads aloud.

   Using Cardinal and Ordinal Numbers

   Numbers appear everywhere in classroom texts, such as page numbers, dates, school populations, and competition results. It is important to know the difference between cardinal and ordinal numbers.

   Cardinal Numbers (100–500)

   We use cardinal numbers to count quantities or identify pages:

   • 150: one hundred and fifty (e.g., "Open page one hundred and fifty.")
   • 275: two hundred and seventy-five (e.g., "There are two hundred and seventy-five students in the 6th grade.")
   • 420: four hundred and twenty (e.g., "The school library has four hundred and twenty science books.")

   Ordinal Numbers (1st–50th)

   We use ordinal numbers to show order, rank, or position in a sequence:

   • 1st, 2nd, 3rd: first, second, third
   • 12th, 20th: twelfth, twentieth
   • 21st, 22nd: twenty-first, twenty-second
   • 35th, 50th: thirty-fifth, fiftieth (e.g., "Our team finished in 3rd place in the 25th annual science fair.")

   Practice: Skimming and Predicting

   Imagine you see a text with the following title and clues:

   Title: The 45th Annual Science Project: Day One in Class 6-B
   Visual Clues: A picture of students in pairs looking at page 210 of their textbook, with a clock showing 09:15.

   How to Make a Prediction:

   1. Identify the context: The words "Class 6-B" and "Science Project" tell us the setting is a classroom learning activity.
   2. Notice the numbers: "45th" is an ordinal number showing the edition of the event, and "210" is a cardinal number for the textbook page.
   3. Form your prediction: "This text will probably describe the daily routine and pair work of sixth-grade students starting their science project in the first period."

   Now you are ready to read the whole text with clear purpose and confidence!
