Reading Skills: Chunking

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Prepare advanced English learners and low-level readers for the reading demands of post-secondary education with skill of chunking. Readers learn to make meaning from phrases rather than individual words, helping them to read more quickly and fluently without sacrificing comprehension. This resource only outlines the procedure for teaching students this skill through modeling, so it can be used with any reading material.
