Question 1

There are two strategies that were not mentioned;

•Write down some questions you hope the text will answer. (3)

•Try to use other information in the text to make sense of difficult words. (12)

Strategy number 3; write down some questions you hope the text will answer could be useful as it offers students to seek answers which can be found directly or indirectly in the text. This can improve students’ reading comprehension as well as boost them to think about the text beyond what they are reading. Other than that, this strategy helps students to think creatively as they need to develop and recognise the questions first in order to proceed to find the answers. This somehow challenges them to utilize their high level thinking skills.

Meanwhile, strategy 12; try to use other information in the text to make sense of difficult words could be useful as it is unlikely that students will know every word in the text. Hence, by using this strategy, it may help students to figure out the meaning of the words by identifying the context in which the word is used and their background knowledge regarding the word related to the topic. This also somehow saves time as students do not have to look up every word that they are unfamiliar with in the dictionary, instead they make sense of the word by using this strategy.

Question 1: ·
1. Write down some questions you hope the text will answer.

This would consume some time but would help me not miss any thoughts I had. While reading, I can check whether the questions I thought of were answered and in that way, that can stimulate my own ideas of how I would answer the question myself.

2. Try to use other information in the text to make sense of difficult words.

Contextual clues could be very helpful especially during tests or when you can't reach out for a dictionary or google translate. Understanding what the text is bout might help decipher what a certain word might mean and the information needed to answer our questions.

Question 1:

a)Write down some questions you hope the text will answer.
b) Read differently depending on the purpose for reading.

From my perspective,  the 3rd strategy enhances the person's comprehension in reading, and by jot down some questions, it helps to avoid confusion during reading.

The 4th strategy will give many advantages to the student such as gaining a deeper understanding of the text,  expanding your vocabulary also improving your creativity.

The reading strategies that were not mentioned:
12) Try to use other information in the text to make sense of difficult words.
13) Read differently depending on the purpose for reading.

In my point of view, strategy number 12 is useful as it is common for us as a reader to have difficulty finding definitions of words we do not know. The best way to overcome this problem is to look at the other words in the text, pictures, or revise our background knowledge of the topics discussed to help us comprehend the whole text easily. Strategy number 13 can be used if we know our main purpose of reading. The purpose of reading can vary, such as memorizing, understanding, finding the main idea of the text, or understanding the whole text. Once we know the purpose of the reading, we can decide which method is the best one to read the text. For example, we can speed up our reading a little bit faster on unnecessary parts of the text.

📚 QUESTION 1

These two strategies were not mentioned but can be useful in improving reading skills in students :

✏️ Strategy 3 : Write down some questions you hope the text will answer.

This strategy helps the students to stay focus on the main purpose of why they are reading the text. As they read through the material, they can refer back to the questions to make sure they are catching the right information. This strategy encourages the students to engage in the text and to read critically.

✏️ Strategy 12 : Try to use other information in the text to make sense of difficult words

When coming across a difficult word, the student can use the context of the text to make sense of the difficult words. By looking at the words or sentences before and after the difficult word can help to give a general idea what the word could mean.

Question 1

The strategies that were not mentioned are:

#3 Write down some questions you hope the text will answer.

- We need to know the general topic of the text before writing down some questions that we hope the text will answer. This strategy will then list down our prior knowledge or expectations related to the topic of the text. By writing down some questions, we may engage with the text better and increase our comprehension about the text.

#7 As you read, record your thoughts in the margin or in a notebook.

- The thoughts can be anything such as the questions we had about the text, statements we disagree about, unfamiliar words etc. These thoughts then can be referred to teachers, friends or dictionary who may know better to explain or to give opinion about our thoughts regarding the text we read. This strategy could make us lead to a better clarification.

#12 Try to use other information in the text to make sense of difficult words.

- Instead of directly finding the meaning of difficult words by using dictionary, we can read more information in the text. Perhaps through this strategy, the more information we read in the text will make us connect or use our background knowledge to make predictions and link it together that resulted to a better comprehension of difficult words.

Question 1

The strategies that were not mentioned are:

- Write some questions you hope the text will answer.

I think the strategy would be useful for the students because by generating the questions, students become aware of whether they can answer the question and able to monitor their understanding of the text. Besides that, jotting the questions may also help the student thinking actively as they read.

- Try to use other information in the text to make sense of difficult words.

The strategy is useful for the students when they do not know certain words because using other information may help them to understand the meaning of the words in the text. It also helps the student in comprehend their prior knowledge once they understand the words as referring to the other information.

Question 1:

Two (2) strategies that were not mentioned:

1. Write down some questions you hope the text will answer. (3)

2. As you read, record your thoughts in the margin or in a notebook. (7)

In my opinion, all strategies are useful. That is why it is called strategy. Different strategy may be effective to different people. As for me I would say strategy #1 and #13 are useful for me because I always do things with purpose. These strategies also helps students to focus on the goal of reading text rather than need to reread again to understand. But, there are some students find strategy #10, when you read for the first time, look up only the words that are essential for understanding the text is more helpful and effective because sometimes they don’t really understand the text so they need to read it back to keep on track.

Question 1
the two strategies that were not mentioned are:

strategy no 3 - write down some questions you hope the text will answer.
strategy no 12 - try to use other information in the text to make sense of difficult words.

The third strategy in my opinion is important because by generating questions, students become aware of whether they can answer the questions and if they understand what they are reading. It also help students to think actively as they read.

The twelfth strategy  help students to review content and relate what they have learned to what they have already know. Rather than looking up every word in the dictionary, students make sense of new words by using their background knowledge about the topic.

# data[].attributes.body
Question 1:
#3 Write down some questions you hope the text will answer.
#12 Try to use other information in the text to make sense of difficult words.

In my opinion, #3 will be beneficial as students are expecting what to understand or know while reading any kinds of texts. This will also contribute to students having a purpose while reading because they will find the answers to the questions that they have prepared beforehand. They may also ask questions to the teacher if they cannot find the answers in the text. This will also lead to critical thinking.

As for #12,  I think these students do not use this method because their vocabulary are wide enough so that they do not rely on the text to understand the meaning of certain words. However, if they encounter odd words in any texts,  method #12 is the best method to understand the word on the spot. This method will save some time for the learner so they do not have to look up the words on dictionary or Google.

Question 1

The reading strategies that was not mentioned are number 3 that is “write down some questions you hope the text will answer" and number 12 which is “try to use other information in the text to make sense of difficult words”.

Note:

3.      It is a useful strategy as it allows us to have that sense of ‘anticipation’ where we want to make prediction beforehand. Its more of a personalized question which you want to see yourself getting some answers. It could be for self-development or even some take-aways you would like to take back with you after reading a particular text.

12.  This is helpful as it helps us  to be more of an active reader to always be on the ‘look-out’ for contextual elements that could draw us back to the meaning that we intend to understand. This could also test our level of comprehension, the meaning, or the pattern to regain the meaning that we first did not understand.

Question 1
1)Try to use other information in the test to make sense of difficult words.
In my point of view,  when we read a text, we are not able to comprehend each word, checking dictionary will disturb reading mood and it is time consuming ,bu we can view other information that given by text to predict  meaning of this word. Gradually, we can improve our reading skills and can master a lot of new words. Meanwhile, it is a good reading habit.

2) Check the learning outcome before reading a textbook chapter.
In my opinion,  this strategy will help reader to gain what they really want to know and give the instruction to guide reader in order to satisfied their curiosity for this book.

Question 1 :
Two strategies were mentioned in the list are :
1.· Write down some questions you hope the text will answer.
2.· Try to use other information in the text to make sense of difficult words.
In my opinion ,  the first strategy would give the students a clear instruction of how they will read the text and be careful about every single detail in the passage .
Besides it may also arouse the  curiosity  of the students.
For the second strategy , it is a effective way to train students' deductive ability , the purpose of reading an academic text is to get information , and it would be easy for students to get the meaning of a word if they are familiar with all the information.

QUESTION 1:
The strategies that were not mentioned in the list are:

1) Write down some questions you hope the text will answer.
2) Try to use other information in the text to make sense of difficult words.

The first strategy would benefit students to focus more on the goals of reading. It will also makes students to know what to expect in a text.

The second strategy is crucial when students are unfamiliar with the phrases or words used in a text. Linking the information given would make students comprehend a text better.

Question 1
The strategies that were not mentioned are
1. Writing down some questions that you hope the text will answer
2. Trying to use other information in the text to make sense of difficult words

These two strategies could help readers to comprehend better. Strategy 1 allows readers to be more curious and set their purpose straight. They could focus more in comprehending the text in order to answer the questions they created.
Strategy 2 helped readers to think more creatively. They can match the prior information stated in the text to help them understand any words that they are not familiar with.

Question 1

The two strategies that were not mentioned are:

·         Write down some questions you hope the text will answer

·         Try to use other information in the text to make sense of difficult words

In my opinion, both of the strategies are helpful in enhancing one’s reading skills. The former strategy is useful in helping the students to achieve their purpose of reading. In fact, it can lead the students to apply critical thinking skills upon jotting down the questions. Critical thinking helps in encouraging curiosity, which is helpful in aiding the students to gain a deeper and wider range of understanding in any topic.

Finally, making sense of difficult words by using other information in the text can help to boost students’ creativity. It is an ideal tool for students to discover new knowledge and simply apply their imaginations to solve complex problems.

Question 2

3)      3 and 9.

# data[].attributes.body
As shown from the figure below, most strategies were mentioned by students A-E, only strategies #3 and #12 weren’t mentioned.

Personally, I think strategy #12, making sense of difficult words from the contextual cues, instead of looking up words in the dictionary could enhance students’ reading comprehension skills and does not interrupt with the  reading pleasure. Through the use of background knowledge and the previous text processed, the reader can make knowledgeable predictions and actively construct the meaning.

However,  I do not think writing down questions beforehand like #3 is an effective approach, it is quite time consuming from my perspective, maybe just think about it is well enough.

# data[].attributes.body
Question 1
The two strategies were not mentioned are:
1) Check the learning outcome before reading a textbook chapter.
2) Try to use other information in the text to make sense of difficult words.

In my point of view, the first strategy helps students to know their advantages and disadvantages so that they can understand what they really need from this textbook.  As for the second strategy, it is a common method. It examines the reader's intellectual background such as their their background and the context in which a word is used: the words, sentences and examples that follow it.

Question 2
1. I have followed 1) record my thoughts in the margin or in notebook; 2) Read differently depending on the purpose of reading.

2. I think I have applied all of them before when I read different kinds of materials. Sometimes, I read novels and biographies and I am used to take note. I also read articles, then I will ask myself what I already know and what I want to learn about this topic.

3.I will try to develop my ability of using other information in the text to make sense of difficult words. This is because I think this method is really helpful. It requires readers to develop our experiences and background knowlegde.

# data[].attributes.body
Question 1.
Most of the strategies mentioned by the students were used in their reading for academic texts that proved as effective methods but they did not make an attempt to try the other two strategies that are:

1) Checking the learning outcomes before reading.
2) Use other information that links to the difficult words in texts.

Both of the strategies are indeed useful for students when reading academic texts because by checking the learning outcomes before reading, they will be enlightened on the purpose of the text or book was intended to share with its reader. By knowing the text or book’s purpose, students can link to their own purpose of reading in order to fulfil their needs for the reading. It also helps students to acknowledge the scope of the information provided by the text or book to the reader. Meanwhile, the strategy of using other information that links to the difficult words in texts is needed for anyone who has to read an extensive amount of reading within text or book as they do not have to waste their time by looking up words in the dictionary. In fact, they can make a guess of certain unknown word by looking at the context of the sentence to predict the meaning of the word by linking the word before and after in the same sentence.

Question 2.
1) I would say that several of the strategies were used in my reading but it is not consistent and might differently use according to the reading material itself. Sometimes it depends on my mood to either use few strategies or only one at a time for my reading because I believe reading is our freedom and our own way of enjoying the material that we explore for our satisfaction. It does not really have to follow any certain formula or guidance as long we enjoy the reading for ourselves.

2) I think that seeking for information and theories that relevant to myself is the only method that seems unfamiliar and quite uncommon to be used in my reading.

3) I would like to try the strategy of jotting down notes when attempting the second time of reading as I usually making notes for the first reading and recap those information when reading the second time. I found it is quite interesting for the reader to notes down important information when they repeat the reading and it can be helpful to remind the reader the point that left out to be highlighted when the first reading was done.

question 1
The two strategies that weren't mentioned were; a)When you read for the first time, look up only the words that are essential for understanding the text, and b)Try to use other information in the text to make sense of difficult words.

I think the first strategy could be useful when reading a scientific journal or text, or something complex that uses lots of jargons because finding the meaning of the words essential for understanding the text is crucial to understand the whole idea.

The second strategy is mostly used when readers don't understand a particular word and they use the surrounding words to try to get the meaning of the word. this usually happens on a paragraph-to-paragraph basis. this can be very helpful if readers don't have Google or a dictionary to find out the definition of the word.
