Look at the Shape!

មើលរូបរាងរបស់អត្ថបទ!

Skimming means looking at the text BEFORE you read the words.

ការអានរហ័ស (Skimming) មានន័យថាយើងសម្លឹងមើលរូបរាងនៃអត្ថបទជាមុនសិន មុននឹងចាប់ផ្តើមអានពាក្យនីមួយៗ។
📝

1. A List

បញ្ជី (មានចំណុច ឬ លេខរៀង)
  • Milk
  • Eggs
  • Bread
It goes down (↓). វាសរសេរតម្រៀបគ្នាចុះក្រោម។ វាច្រើនមានចំណុច (•) ឬ លេខ (1, 2, 3)។
🛑

2. A Sign

ផ្លាកសញ្ញា (អក្សរធំៗ ខ្លីៗ)
STOP
BIG letters. Short words. អក្សរធំៗ។ ពាក្យខ្លីៗ។ ច្រើនមានពណ៌ឆើតៗ ឬនៅក្នុងប្រអប់។
✍️

3. A Sentence

ប្រយោគ (អានពីឆ្វេងទៅស្តាំ)
I want to buy some apples.
Left to right (➔). អានពីឆ្វេងទៅស្តាំ។ ចាប់ផ្តើមដោយអក្សរធំ និងបញ្ចប់ដោយសញ្ញាខណ្ឌ (.)។
The "Don't Read" Trap!

Do not read every word yet!

(ប្រយ័ត្ន! គោលបំណងនៃការ Skimming គឺមើល "រូបរាង" មិនមែន "អានបកប្រែពាក្យ" នោះទេ! បើអ្នកព្យាយាមបកប្រែ អ្នកនឹងអានយឺត។)

Visual Check ⚡

មើលរូបរាង តើនេះគឺជាអ្វី?
  • Apples
  • Bananas
  • Oranges
Look at the shape:
PUSH
Look at the shape:
The dog is sleeping.
SHAPE TRAP! ❌
1. First, go straight.
2. Second, turn left.
(វាមានលក្ខណៈជាប្រយោគ ប៉ុន្តែតើរូបរាងរួមរបស់វាគឺជាអ្វី?)

How to Move Your Eyes

មេរៀនជាវីដេអូ

Watch the Eyes! Notice how Teacher Sopheak moves her eyes. For a list, she looks DOWN. For a sentence, she looks ACROSS. For a sign, she just looks at the whole box at once!

Hi Bopha! It prepares your brain! If you see a "List" shape, your brain knows "Ah, I don't need to read left-to-right, I just look down for facts." This makes reading much faster! ⚡

Is a restaurant menu a list or a sign?

Great question! A menu is a **List**. It has items arranged vertically, usually with a price next to them. You don't read a menu from start to finish like a story; you skip around to find what you want! 🍔
