About Reading Texts and Extensive Reading

GoConqr Original

Begin with text choices

The mind map Texts is a useful starting point for exploring types of reading material. It describes decodable texts in terms of regular words and a small number of irregular words. It also includes predictable texts and levelled readers, with a point about developing lexical knowledge. Use the map to compare how the materials are described.

Explore extensive reading

Next, open the note Reading. It covers extensive and intensive reading, materials, setting up a library, the teacher's role and reading tasks. A mind map on extensive reading also contrasts reading for enjoyment and general reading skills with intensive reading in detail. Look at both resources to compare the approaches and the roles described.

Another Reading mind map includes specially written materials, organizing books by level and genre, and building a library of suitable books. It offers a way to explore the materials alongside the note.

Use maps and flashcards

The Linked Text Sets (LTS) mind maps look at reading multiple texts on similar topics or themes. They include questions about why to use linked text sets and describe engagement, exploration and expansion phases. Compare these points with the text choices in Texts.

The Teaching Reading flashcards offer another format to study. There are no quizzes listed on this topic page, so you can use the maps to organize ideas and the flashcards for a different way to go over the material.
