Akgün - A Fun Reading Comprehension Activity (I-TESL-J)
The Internet TESL Journal A Fun reading comprehension Activity. Mehmet Ali Akgünmakgun at indiana.edu First, they will be reading for comprehension.
http://iteslj.org/Lessons/Akgun-ReadingComp.html

Extractions: makgun [at] indiana.edu Many EFL teachers are familiar with the type of reading comprehension exercise in which students are required to read the passage and then answer a set of multiple-choice questions. No matter how hard you may try to make this type of reading fun and comprehensible to the learners by brainstorming activities or drawing flowers on the board, you know that, after a while, you may end up with a boring reading class in which your students are not 'reading for comprehension', not 'enjoying themselves', not 'learning new words in context', not 'practicing their grammar', and not 'involved in a communicative and interactive learning activity'. Does all of this sound familiar. If so, you can achieve all of the above and maybe more with this very simple, easy-to-prepare activity. Find an interesting text, which you think may appeal to most of your students such as a joke from a magazine, a brochure about Disneyland, or anything that is colorful and fun. Then, type that passage on a page using large margins so that the text itself is not spread from one end to the other but rather it is squeezed up into a thin column. Make enough copies to go around and then grab a pair of scissors as you go to class.
GRE Reading Comprehension
GRE reading comprehension. The explanation of the reading comprehension questiontype follows. There are six types of reading comprehension questions.
http://www.gre.org/practice_test/takerc.html

Extractions: GRE READING COMPREHENSION The explanation of the Reading Comprehension question type follows. If you prefer skipping this explanation, scroll down to the Directions immediately before the Sample Questions buttons. Reading comprehension questions measure your ability to read with understanding, insight, and discrimination. This type of question explores your ability to analyze a written passage from several perspectives, including your ability to recognize both explicitly stated elements in the passage and assumptions underlying statements or arguments in the passage as well as the implications of those statements or arguments. Because the written passage upon which the questions are based presents a sustained discussion of a particular topic, there is ample context for analyzing a variety of relationships. Pay attention to the function of a word in relation to a larger segment of the passage, the relationships among the various ideas in the passage, or the relation of the author to the topic or to the audience. There are six types of reading comprehension questions. These types focus on (1) the main idea or primary purpose of the passage; (2) information explicitly stated in the passage; (3) information or ideas implied or suggested by the author; (4) possible applications of the author's ideas to other situations, including the identification of situations or processes analogous to those described in the passage; (5) the author's logic, reasoning, or persuasive techniques; and (6) the tone of the passage or the author's attitude as it is revealed in the language used.

http://www.collegeboard.com/ap/students/german/mcitm002.html

Extractions: Read the following passage carefully for comprehension. This passage is followed by a number of incomplete statements or questions. Select the completion or answer that is best according to the passage. After you have answered the questions, there is a link to a page with the correct answers and rationales. Begin passage: unterscheiden, dann zu greifen. Es hört die Geräusche und befühlt die Sachen mit Mund und Händen. Die eigentliche Sprachentwicklung beginnt, wenn das Kind merkt, daß Wörter Bezeichnungen für Dinge sind. "Mama" ist die Person mit der hellen Stimme, und die dunklere Stimme heißt "Papa". Das Hirn folgt der Hand, Denken beginnt mit dem Begreifen. Die Sprachfähigkeit ist eine Anlage, die die Natur uns mitgibt, seit der Mensch aufrecht steht, seine "Vorderfüße" als Hände gebrauchen und Laute bilden kann. Ohne Hilfe von außen, indem uns vorgesprochen wird, wie die Dinge heißen, können wir aber nicht sprechen lernen. Der Text will vor allem eine Verbindung herstellen zwischen dem Denken und der Jagd auf wilde Tiere dem aufrechten Gang des Menschen und der Sprache

These reading comprehension activities focus students' attention on the various ways of reading a text, with an eye toward helping them differentiate among skills such as comprehension, summary, interpretation, and analysis. As I wrote these items, I was thinking exercises that I might use with students to prepare them for standardized testing (e.g., Texas' TAAS or the NY Regents Exam). These exercises alone won't prepare them for the test, but I think that the discussion that could ensue from completing more than one of these exercises on a text and talking about the skills that were used could help students become more knowledgeable about the ways that they can think about something that they read. Then I'd ask students to think about which skills relate to which questions on the tests.
