1. Before You Read: Active Thinking

   Good readers do not start reading a text immediately. Instead, they pause and explore the title, pictures, and headings around the text. This helps your brain recall what you already know about the topic.

   When you see a title such as "Busy Days, Different Homes", ask yourself:

   • What words do I already know in this title?
   • What comes to my mind when I think of family life, jobs, and homes?
   • What kind of story or information am I about to read?

   Remember, at this initial stage, you do not need to worry about unknown words. The goal is to make smart guesses using what you already know!

   Activating Your Vocabulary

   When preparing to read about families and daily life, think about common occupations, their workplaces, and regular routines.

   • Doctor / Nurse: works at a hospital or clinic, examines patients, works day or night shifts.
   • Teacher: works at a school, prepares lessons, teaches students in classrooms.
   • Chef / Cook: works in a restaurant kitchen, prepares meals, starts early in the morning.
   • Architect / Engineer: works in an office or on a building site, designs plans.

   Tip: If a pre-reading picture shows a stethoscope or a classroom, you can predict that the characters' daily jobs and workplaces will play an important role in the text.

   Predicting Living Environments

   Families live in different types of homes depending on their environment and lifestyles:

   • Detached House: a stand-alone home, often with a private garden in a quiet neighbourhood.
   • Apartment / Flat: a home inside a larger building, common in busy city centres.
   • Farmhouse: a home situated in the countryside, often surrounded by fields and animals.
   • Cottage: a small, cosy house, usually located in a rural or coastal village.

   Before reading, observe the visual clues showing the setting. If the text displays a high-rise building or a farm, connect that clue with the family's daily habits and routines to predict the central theme accurately.
