    WHILE-READING ACTIVITIES

    While-reading activities are part of the three main stages that a reading lesson has,While-
    Reading Activities are defined as activities that help students to focus on aspects of the
    text and to understand it better. During this stage, students will be able to:

    1. confirm predictions
    2. gather information
    3. organize information

    Examples of While-Reading Activities

    1. Identify topic sentences and the main idea of paragraphs. Remember that every paragraph
    usually includes a topic sentence that identifies the main idea of the paragraph.

    2. Distinguish between general and specific ideas.

    3. Identify the connectors to see how they link ideas within the text

    4. Check whether or not predictions and guesses are confirmed.

    5. Skim a text for specific information. Skimming is the ability to locate the main idea
    within a text, using this reading strategies will help students to become proficient readers.

    6. Answer literal and inferential questions: Literal simply refers to what the text says and
    inferential is using the text as a starting point to get a deeper meaning.

    7. Infere the meaning of new words using the context: All language learners rely on
    context to decipher the meaning of a word, a reading strategy used quite a lot when you do
    extensive reading.

    8. Coding text involves teaching students a method of margin marking so they can place a
    question mark next to an statement they don’t understand or an exclamation mark next to
    something that surprised them.

    9. Student-to-student conversation, you can ask students to have a conversation after they
    have finished a paragraph or a stanza of a poem so they can clear up any confusions they
    might have.

    10. Scan a text for specific information: You scan when you look for your favorite show
    listed in the TV guide, when you look your friend’s phone number in your contact list. If you
    want to use this reading strategy successfully, you need to understand how the reading
    material is structured as well as have a clear idea about what specific information you have to
    locate. This technique is key if you need to find information in a hurry

    11.Matching sentences/paragraphs with gaps in the text


    Some sentences are missing from the text. Choose from the list (A-G) the most appropriate
    sentence for each gap (1-5) in the text. There is one extra sentence that you do not need touse.
    Write your answers in the boxes after the text. There is an example at thebeginning (0).

    Skimming and Scanning

    Skimming refers to the process of reading only main ideas within a passage to get an overall
    impression of the content of a reading
    selection.

    How to Skim:

    * Read the title.

    * Read the introduction or the first paragraph.

    * Read the first sentence of every other paragraph.

    * Read the last paragraph.

    Scanning is a reading technique to be used when you want to find specific information
    quickly. In scanning you have a question in your mind and you read a passage only to find the
    answer, ignoring unrelated information.

    How to Scan:

    * State the specific information you are looking for.

    * Try to anticipate how the answer will appear and what clues you might use to help you
    locate the answer. For example, if you were looking for a certain date, you would quickly read
    the paragraph looking only for numbers.

    * Use headings and any other aids that will help you identify which sections might contain the
    information you are looking for.

    * Selectively read and skip through sections of the passage

    It is important to identify the right questions in order to fiind aut the main ideas of the text or
    specific information. Multiple choice questions can be used, yes/no questions or true or false
    statements.You can also use sentence completion and ordering scrambled sentences.
