2.1.5 Strategies for Reading Comprehension
There are some strategies in reading comprehension: 1 identify the purpose in reading, by doing this you know what you’re looking for and can weed
out potencial distracting information, 2 use graphemic rules and patterns to aid in bottom-up decoding especially for beginning level learners . Students need hints
and explanations about certain English orthographic rules and peculiarities, 3 use efficient silent reading techniques for relatively rapid comprehension. We do not
need to “pronounce” each word, try to visually perceive more than one word at a time pages of material, close the books, and tell what you learned, 4 scan the text
for specific information, by looking foe names or dates, to find a definition of a key concept, or to list a certain number of supporting detail, 5 guess when you aren’t
certain, such as, guess the meaning of a word, guess content message,etc

originally derived from the Arabic makhazin storehouses

The oldest consumer magazines still in print is The Scots Magazines
, which was first published in
1739 , though multiple changes in ownership and gaps
in publication totaling over 90 years weaken that claim. Lloyds List
