Reading material for scanning and skimmimg (teenagers)
 
Hello dear friends from ESL printables, I am here asking for your help I have been assigned a task in which I have to create exercises for developing the reading strategies above mentioned. It takes  a lot of time to come up with the exercises or to adapt the long readings that so far I have found. So I will be more than grateful if somebody can suggest some links. 
 
I´d really appreciate it.
Thanks.

Would this help you? http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/rfl/April2005/day/day.html  It basically says to use wh- questions, open ended questions, multiple choice, and suggests that the true and false questions exploit potential misunderstandings ( ex. is the baby easy to see vs can the baby see easily).
 
http://www.eslprintables.com/forum/search.asp?query=stories&username=&fromday=0&frommonth=0&fromyear
=0&today=0&tomonth=0&toyear=0&B4=Search is a search on 
stories and turned up some links to stories including http://www.coolenglish.net/#!news/crwh
 
https://s3-sa-east-1.amazonaws.com/readingesl/NEWS/Top+news+3+(Web)/index.html It has 5 comprehension questions and the student can click on a button to reveal the answer.

Hi there - have a look at my printables. Reading for gist and reading for detail are two of the things I really try to push with my pupils.
 
There�s a printable called  "4 Short News Stories" which requires lots of scanning and skimming techniques and uses intermediate-level English.
I also have a printable called "Reading Skills: eliciting the meaning of unknown words" which is to build pupils� confidence with more complex texts.
The printable "2 news articles and questions about animals" might also be useful to you.
 
I hope they help!
