Reading Exam Preparation EAP Worksheets
In this useful reading exam preparation worksheet, students read about strategies to answer four common reading question types and then practice them using a reading exam text. First, students read a text about strategies to answer reading exam questions and match headings to the paragraphs. Students then read an extract from a reading exam paper. Next, students answer true, false or not given questions based on the text. After that, students choose the correct option to answer each question about the text. Students then move on to complete sentences with no more than two words from the text. Following that, students answer questions using no more than three words from the text. Finally, students discuss questions about the question types with a partner.
In this enjoyable reading exam preparation activity, students practice analysing a text, summarising key information, presenting their findings and answering comprehension questions. In the activity, students work in groups to understand a reading text using the jigsaw method. First, students start in their 'home groups' before moving into 'expert groups,' where each group focuses on one paragraph of a text. In their expert groups, students discuss key points and write a short summary. Afterwards, students return to their home groups and take turns presenting their paragraph summaries so the group gains a full understanding of the text. Finally, students answer reading comprehension questions about the text and discuss reflection questions in their groups.
In this fast-paced reading exam preparation game, students use skimming and scanning techniques to answer comprehension questions about various texts. When you say go, teams have 20 seconds to skim-read a text and identify the topic, underlining the correct one on the worksheet. Teams then turn over a question card and have two minutes to scan the text and answer comprehension questions about it. After two minutes, teams put the question card face-down and move on to the next text. The process repeats until each team has read and answered questions about six texts. Next, teams swap worksheets to mark each other's answers. For each correct topic, teams score one point. For each correct answer, teams score two points. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
In this engaging reading exam preparation game, students race to answer comprehension questions by locating and citing evidence, and making inferences based on a text. In teams, students race to answer each comprehension question about a text using context clues to locate and underline the relevant information. When a team has found the correct answer, they raise their hands and cite the evidence from the text, scoring one point for a correct answer and another point for supporting evidence using context clues. For the final question, teams each give a prepared response by making inferences based on the text, scoring two points for a response that is well-supported with evidence. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
This handy reading exam preparation activity helps students develop their skills in answering True, False or Not Given questions by justifying their responses and citing evidence from a text. First, students read a text and mark each statement as True, False or Not Given. Students then compare answers and explain their choices in pairs. If a statement is True or False, they identify and underline the part of the text that supports their answer. If it is Not Given, they explain why. Pairs then agree on a final set of answers. Next, elicit the correct answers from the pairs, who support their True or False answers with direct quotes from the text. Finally, students discuss reflection questions with a new partner.
