1. Before You Read: Become a Reading Detective

   When you start reading a new text in English, you do not need to understand every single word right away. Good readers start by exploring the clues around the text.

   Before reading, take a moment to look at:

   • The Title: It tells you the main topic in just a few words.
   • Pictures and Illustrations: Visual clues show people, places, actions, and feelings.
   • Headings and Keywords: Bold words or subheadings highlight key ideas.

   Remember: Making predictions before reading helps your brain get ready to understand the text faster and better!

   Activating Your Background Knowledge

   You already know a lot about school life from your own daily experiences. When you see a text about school routines, connect it to your daily habits.

   Ask Yourself These Questions:

   • What responsibilities do students have in the classroom? (e.g., keeping the classroom clean, listening to the teacher, helping classmates)
   • What are our daily routines? (e.g., arriving on time, following the class schedule, having lunch with friends)
   • Which familiar words can I spot immediately? (e.g., timetable, library, uniform, bell, break time)

   By thinking about your own school day, you can easily predict what the characters in the story will do next.

   Predicting Details About Special Events

   School is not only about lessons; it is also about coming together for special occasions and national celebrations.

   When a reading passage shows flags, stages, musical instruments, or decorations, think about how we celebrate national days:

   • Roles and Preparations: Students recite poems, sing in the school choir, perform folk dances, or decorate the corridors.
   • Feelings: Words related to excitement, pride, and teamwork often appear in these texts.
   • Order of Events: Ceremonies usually start with opening speeches and continue with student performances and exhibitions.

   Recognising these clues allows you to guess the setting and main theme before reading the whole paragraph.

   Your Pre-Reading Action Plan

   Follow these three simple steps whenever you meet a new reading passage:

   1. Read the title and look at the images: What is the situation? Who are the people?
   2. Spot words you already know: Do not worry about unfamiliar words yet. Focus on words you recognise and group them by topic (e.g., roles, routines, celebrations).
   3. Make a quick prediction: Complete this sentence in your mind: "I think this text is about..."

   Now you are fully prepared to read the text with confidence and check whether your predictions were right!
