understands emphasis, tone, meaning, etc.
Give students pre-reading activities.
Have them jot down what they already know about a subject.
Have students survey the text.
Have them make predictions.
Introduce vocabulary that they may not know.
B. Reading
Students are often shocked that speed reading or skimming a text isn’t always appropriate.

understandable for the students.
