Reading Signposts

ផែនទីនៃការអាន

Texts have signposts just like roads. Headings and topic sentences guide you.

អត្ថបទមានផ្លាកសញ្ញាដូចជាផ្លូវថ្នល់អញ្ចឹង។ ចំណងជើង និងប្រយោគប្រធានគឺជាអ្នកនាំផ្លូវអ្នក។

ចំណងជើងធំ

Cambodian Tourism

(ប្រធានបទធំនៃអត្ថបទទាំងមូល)

Big text. Tells the main topic of the whole page. អក្សរធំ។ ប្រាប់ពីប្រធានបទសំខាន់នៃទំព័រទាំងមូល។

ចំណងជើងរង

Popular Temples

((បំបែកអត្ថបទជាផ្នែកតូចៗដែលងាយស្រួលអាន)

Smaller text. Breaks the text into sections. អក្សរតូចជាងចំណងជើងធំ។ បំបែកអត្ថបទជាផ្នែកៗ។

ប្រយោគប្រធាន

Angkor Wat is the most famous temple in Cambodia. It attracts millions of visitors every year. The architecture is stunning.

(ប្រាប់អ្នកពីអ្វីដែលកថាខណ្ឌនោះនឹងនិយាយ)

Usually the first sentence of a paragraph. ជាទូទៅជាប្រយោគទីមួយនៃកថាខណ្ឌ។

warning The Skipper Trap!

Don't ignore the headings!

(កុំរំលងចំណងជើង! ការរំលងចំណងជើងធ្វើឲ្យការអានកាន់តែពិបាក។ អ្នកត្រូវដឹងពីប្រធានបទមុននឹងអានអត្ថបទលម្អិត។)

Location

Where do you usually find a topic sentence?

(តើអ្នកតែងតែឃើញប្រយោគប្រធាននៅទីណា?)

TRAP QUESTION! error

True or False: Subheadings are printed bigger than Headings.

(ពិត ឬ ខុស: ចំណងជើងរង ត្រូវបានបោះពុម្ពធំជាងចំណងជើងធំ។)

Prediction

If a heading is "Types of Cats", what will the paragraph be about?

(ប្រសិនបើចំណងជើងគឺ "ប្រភេទនៃសត្វឆ្មា" តើកថាខណ្ឌនោះនឹងនិយាយអំពីអ្វី?)

Purpose

Why should we read headings first?

(ហេតុអ្វីបានជាយើងគួរអានចំណងជើងមុនគេ?)
