Predicting Content

ការទាយទុកជាមុនពីអត្ថបទ

Look BEFORE you read! It prepares your brain.

មើលចំណងជើងនិងរូបភាពមុនពេលអាន! វាជួយឲ្យខួរក្បាលរបស់អ្នកត្រៀមខ្លួនរួចរាល់សម្រាប់ការយល់ដឹង។

signpost

1. Read the Title signpost

អានចំណងជើងជាមុនសិន

The title is the biggest clue. It tells you the main topic!

Example Title: "The Lost Dog" Prediction: The story is about an animal. (ការទាយ: រឿងនេះនិយាយអំពីសត្វ មិនមែនរថយន្តទេ!)

Example Title: "How to Make Pizza" Prediction: The text will give instructions for cooking. (ការទាយ: អត្ថបទនេះនឹងផ្តល់ការណែនាំអំពីការចម្អិនអាហារ។)

2. Look at Pictures image

មើលរូបភាព (បើមាន)

Pictures show you the setting (where), characters (who), or the mood (happy/sad).

Look closely!

Prediction: This is a mystery or detective story! (ការទាយ: នេះជារឿងអាថ៌កំបាំង ឬរឿងស៊ើបអង្កេត!)

3. Combine Them! handshake

ប្រើទាំងចំណងជើង និងរូបភាពរួមគ្នា

Title + Picture = Strong Guess! (ការទាយបានច្បាស់លាស់)

Title: "A Trip to Space"

rocket_launch

Strong Prediction: This is a science fiction story about astronauts. (ការទាយច្បាស់លាស់: នេះជារឿងប្រឌិតវិទ្យាសាស្ត្រនិយាយពីអវកាសយានិក។)

warning The Reading Trap!

Don't jump right in!

Many students start reading the first sentence immediately. This makes reading harder!

---

Read word-by-word immediately. ❌
Stop. Look at the title. Look at the picture. THINK first! ✅

(កុំទាន់អានភ្លាម! ឈប់សិន មើលចំណងជើង មើលរូបភាព ហើយគិតសិន!)

Good question, Chariya! If there are no pictures, look at the Title, the Headings (ចំណងជើងរង), or even read just the very first sentence. That is usually enough to give your brain a clue! psychology

No! A guess is just a prediction. It is totally okay to be wrong. The goal is just to wake up your brain and get it thinking about the vocabulary before you read. It still helps you read faster! bolt
