Fix Up Strategies Identifying the confusing parts
Reread the unclear part
Look for familiar chunks and sound it out
Look for little words and big
words in the word
Think about whether you’ve seen the word
before, where, and in what context.
Substitute a word that
makes sense in the
sentence.
Reread the sentences before the unclear part.
Ignore the unclear part and
read on to see if it gets clearer.
Try to connect the unclear part
to something you already
know.

Activity 1• Read the following passage and
complete the table, which compares the two earthquakes.
DP students Induction Session - ATL: Communication - Reading Strategies by Lee Fun Nee June 2012
At 5:13 on the morning of April 18th, 1906, they city of San Francisco was shaken by a terrible earthquake. A great part of the city was destroyed and a large number of buildings were burnt. The umber of people who lost their homes reached as many as 250 000. About 700 people died in the earthquake and the fires.
Another earthquake shook San Francisco on October 17th, 1989. It was America’s second strongest earthquake and about 100 people were killed. It happened in the evening as people were travelling home. A wide and busy road, which was built like a bridge over another road, fell onto the one below. Many people were killed in the cars, but a few lucky ones were not hurt.
Luckily the 1989 earthquake did not happen in the centre of town but about 50 kilometres away. In one part of the town a great many buildings were destroyed. These buildings were over 50 years old, so they were not strong enough. There were a lot of fires all over the city. The electricity was cut of for several days too.
