After students have read a paragraph or section, have them pause and say what they think is going to happen next. As students read, encourage them to note their reactions to the text in the margins. They can place a question mark when they don’t understand something, a star when something is important, and an exclamation mark when they are surprised. After students have read the text one time, ask them to read it again and pretend they are reading it from someone else’s point of view. This collaborative technique works well for longer texts. Assign each student to a “jigsaw” group then give each student a section of the text to read. When they have finished, have them get together with members from the other groups who've been assigned the same section. In these new groups, students discuss and become “experts” on their section. Students then return to their original “jigsaw” groups and teach their group members about their section. 9. Put text in order Cut up the reading and have students put it in order. This activity requires students to think logically as they examine sequencing words and transitions. Students are often asked to read articles that compare and contrast two or more topics Here are some types of reading material to try: books (including children's books and graded readers) newspapers online news articles (try EC's easy news) online blogs about topics that interest you (search for "top 10 blog" lists by topic) letters (personal and commercial) short stories (try these on EnglishClub) poetry proverbs cartoons and jokes advertisements and brochures
