Reading Comprehension and Text Analysis mind maps

Reading comprehension and text analysis mind maps

These maps organise ideas around close reading, language and the features of texts. Close Reading covers skills including skimming, identifying information and explaining answers in your own words. English Terminology gives definitions of terms used to discuss language and interaction.

Using the maps

Start with Close Reading if you want a route through reading skills. For help with a particular question, Close Reading Formulas sets out steps for imagery and context questions. English question four focuses on comparing how language is used for effect in two texts.

Follow the branches of a map, then try explaining the connections without looking. Return to a branch if you need to check a term or a step. When you want to test your recall or practise a question, switch to a flashcard deck or quiz on the unit page.

Pick a map and follow a branch that matches what you are revising.
