Slide 1: “Tip 1: Read with Purpose”
Before reading, check the instructions, title, and questions. This tells you what type of understanding is required: main ideas, details, or inferences.

Slide 2: “Stop for 30 seconds”
IB doesn’t test speed reading but comprehension. A short pause at the start helps you organize your approach.

Slide 3: “Check title + questions + task”
Ask: Am I asked to identify the main idea, find details, or analyze tone? This reflection shapes your whole reading process.

Slide 4: “Don’t read for fun → Read with a mission”
It’s not about reading every word, but about finding the information you need to show understanding.

Slide 5 (Closing): “Purpose = Focus = Better answers”
IB readers are strategic: they know their goal and answer precisely.

Slide 1: “Tip 2: Be a Detective”

Each text is a case: your job is to find the clues that answer the questions.

Slide 2: “Skim → Big picture”

Skim to grasp the main idea (topic, purpose, register). This answers global comprehension questions.

Slide 3: “Scan → Names, numbers, keywords”

Then scan quickly for details like dates, facts, or words from the question.

Slide 4: “Find clues, not every word”

You don’t need every word. Just the right evidence to justify your answer.

Slide 5 (Closing): “Detective reading = Smart reading”

Using these strategies shows efficiency and critical thinking, both valued by IB.

Slide 1: “Tip 3: Master Your Time”

Time is limited; control it to control your results.

Slide 2: “Quick look at instructions”

Spend one minute checking tasks—don’t waste five re-reading instructions.

Slide 3: “~20 minutes per text”

Divide your time: global understanding, detail, and inference questions.

Slide 4: “Skip + return if stuck”

IB values consistency, not perfection. If you’re stuck, move on and return later.

Slide 5 (Closing): “Control the clock = Control the score”

Managing time reflects autonomy, a core IB Learner Profile trait.

Slide 1: “Tip 4: Win Against Unknown Words”
New vocabulary is normal. Don’t let it block your understanding.

Slide 2: “Unknown word? Don’t panic”
One difficult word doesn’t ruin your comprehension.

Slide 3: “Use context → Look left, look right”
Check the words around it. Is it positive or negative? A person, action, or place?

Slide 4: “Focus on ideas, not every word”
IB measures whether you can reconstruct meaning, not whether you know every word.

Slide 5 (Closing): “You don’t need perfection → Just meaning”
Showing overall understanding is enough to succeed.

Slide 1: “Tip 5: Train Like an Athlete”
Preparation gives confidence. The more you train, the easier exam day feels.

Slide 2: “Athletes train before the game”
Think of Paper 2 as your match. No athlete waits until game day to practice.

Slide 3: “Read English every day (news, blogs, articles)”
Daily short reading builds speed and vocabulary naturally.

Slide 4: “Practice past papers + timing”
Simulate exam conditions to train both comprehension and time management.

Slide 5 (Closing): “Train → Build speed → Perform like a champion”
Regular practice makes you a confident, critical reader—exactly what IB wants.
