INTRODUCTION Teachers often prepare pre-reading and post-reading activities to help students develop their reading skills, but they don’t always plan activities for students to do while they are actively reading a text. Having students perform tasks as they read serves several purposes. It gives students the opportunity to confirm any predictions made during the pre-reading stage. It also helps students to read more carefully and focus on the content as they gather and organize information. Here are 10 activities that will get your students to actively engage with a text and increase their understanding while reading. Before students get into the nitty-gritty of the text, have them skim the text for a general overview. Encourage them to look at headings, visuals, and bold words. These things will help students find the main topic or purpose of a reading quickly. Teach your students the basics of how to skim a text with Ellii's lesson on Skimming & Scanning. 2. Scan for specific information Prepare a few questions that ask for specific information such as names, dates, times, and numbers. This will give students an idea of the scope of a reading. 3. Summarize or paraphrase Put students in pairs then have them read one paragraph at a time silently. When they finish, ask them to take turns summarizing or paraphrasing the paragraph they've just read. 4. Use context clues As students read, have them circle any unfamiliar words or expressions. Before they reach for their dictionaries or phones, have them take a closer look at the words preceding and following the unknown terms. Using context clues, see if they can figure out their meaning.
