Text 1 Reading is not only about recognizing words — it’s about understanding, questioning, and connecting ideas. Strategic readers use different techniques to make sense of what they read. Before reading, they look at titles, subtitles, and pictures to predict what the text might be about. This helps them activate their background knowledge and prepare for new information. While reading, good readers identify key words, take notes, and make inferences — that is, they read between the lines. They also stop to check if they really understand the text, and they don’t hesitate to reread a paragraph if something isn’t clear. Scanning and skimming are two important strategies: “scanning” is used to find specific information, like dates or names, and “skimming” is reading quickly to get the general idea. After reading, strategic readers summarize the main ideas and reflect on what they have learned. They may also discuss the text with others, compare it with different opinions, or relate it to real-life experiences. In this way, reading becomes more meaningful and enjoyable. Being a strategic reader means being an active thinker who learns from every text. (adapted from:www.twinkl.com.br)
