Your students will love using this interactive timed quiz to practise the reading strategy of scanning! Students will answer comprehension questions by scanning the text to identify key words. A timer plays while they work, encouraging them to scan as quickly as possible. If they try to read the text in full, they will run out of time! Support students can hit the Hint button to highlight the key word in the question. The text in this activity is editable, so you can alter the content to suit your class and context. If you’re feeling clever, you can even use the Animation pane to alter the time on the timer, making it slower for support students or faster to challenge extension students. Usable on interactive whiteboards, tablets and desktops, this is a perfect warm-up task for the Scanning Detectives Worksheets.
