Reading skills in a foreign language
Keep these five strategies in mind as you explore each passage.
- Skim for overall meaning. Read all of the text for its general content, information, and purpose.
- Use word formation to deduce meaning. Verb endings, prefixes, suffixes, and other features offer helpful clues.
- Search for details. Take a moment to note headings, subheadings, references, italics, bold text, and other features that offer quick information.
- Use cognates carefully. Spanish and English words sometimes share the same meaning—but watch out for false friends.
- Use context to determine meaning. Make an educated guess about an unfamiliar word by considering its role in the text and how it contributes to the passage’s meaning.
