Hello Cambodian Learners!
When we read, it's important to understand the small details. What is the sentence telling us exactly? Today, we will practice reading simple sentences and finding the details. This is like when your teacher asks you a question about a story, and you need to find the answer in the text.
What is Reading for Detail?
Reading for Detail means looking closely at the words in a sentence to understand exactly what it says.
Example: Read this sentence. Click it to hear it.
Question: Who is happy?
Answer: The boy.
We found this detail by reading the sentence carefully.
