Reading Skills and Comprehension flashcards

Using reading skills and comprehension flashcards

The decks on this page cover several ways to approach a text. Types of Context Clues looks at hints to word meanings, including definitions, synonyms and antonyms. Skimming and Scanning includes a comprehension check, while Snow White asks questions about a story.

For a starting point, try Types of Context Clues if unfamiliar words slow your reading. Work through the cards and see whether you can recognise each kind of clue before checking the explanation.

Move from cards to a text

Use Fact, opinion and bias to review those terms, or explore How to read a novel: characterisation when focusing on characters. If you want to apply a technique to a longer text, switch to notes on the unit page. A quiz can then give you another way to check your understanding.

Choose a deck that fits the skill you want to practise.
