IELTS Reading Lesson Plan: Scanning | 90 Minutes

IELTS READING LESSON PLAN – a complete 90-minute lesson on scanning, ready to teach with no planning.

Learners race to find train times and beach rules in a busy weekend guide, then learn a six-stage strategy with a real IELTS passage: key ideas, anticipate, parallel language, scan, locate and read to confirm. They practise Matching Information and Sentence Completion, and finish with a team battle about the seagulls of a seaside town, where one fish and chip shop has hired a hawk called Bob.

What’s included:
• Step-by-step teacher’s notes with realistic timings, in five stages
• 3 photocopiable activities: the Weekend Guide Race, the Seagull Battle and Parallel Snap
• Extra material for stronger learners and early finishers at every stage
• Board plan, common problems, answers and homework
• Notes for teaching online
• The full Start IELTS learner lesson, Reading Skills – Scanning

Works as a one-off lesson or as part of the Start IELTS 12-Week Foundation course. Suitable for mixed-ability IELTS Academic classes, in the classroom or online.
