About reading skills and comprehension slides
GoConqr OriginalReading skills and comprehension slides
The slide sets cover reading techniques as well as passages and questions. Skimming and Scanning introduces ways to find main ideas quickly. Making Predictions looks at using titles, headings and pictures, while Inferring from context focuses on clues in a passage.
How to use the slides
Start with Skimming and Scanning if you want a technique to use as you read. Then try the slide set on a family business, which includes activities for before and during reading. Notice which technique helps you find or understand information in the text.
For question practice, the page also lists slides with TOEFL reading questions and a gap-fill activity. If you want to test your understanding in another format, switch to a quiz on the unit page; a mind map can help you revisit a technique. Pick a slide set and work through it at your own pace.
Frequently asked questions
Which slide set is a good place to start?
