Leer un libro en inglés no es traducir, consiste en ser capaz
de entender información, el transcurso de una historia, las
características de los personajes…contenidos en un texto
escrito. A ser posible, debes disfrutar tu lectura, imaginar
escenas, predecir qué pasará en el próximo capítulo.
Aquí te propongo un plan de trabajo para la lectura en inglés
1st reading:
- Read the titles, subtitles.
- Look at the images.
- Read the chapter. Try to understand the story
without using the dictionary (predicting, guessing meaning
from context…).
2nd reading:
- Read the story.
- Use the dictionary if necessary.
- Write notes:
- Vocabulary.
- Characters.
- Summary of every chapter ( write sentences
about the
story)
- Write questions.
3rd reading:
- Read the story
Para ayudarte a retener mejor el contenido de las historias
así como vocabulario, estructuras, etc. debes hacer el
siguiente trabajo escrito:
