About
The English Read Skill mind map template, with 60 nodes across 6 branches, is designed for learners who want to systematically improve their English reading comprehension by integrating methods from旋元佑文法, 仲華 6個符號, 黃玟君 觀念英文閱讀, and Quentin Brand's Leximodel. It covers grammar (sentence classification by structure and function, parts of speech), symbol-based parsing (subject, verb, conjunction, subordinate clauses, participial constructions), positional analysis (before subject, between subject & verb, after verb), recitation strategies (set-phrase, chunk, word partnership), and reduction types. This template serves as a comprehensive cheat sheet for decoding complex English sentences, making it ideal for self-study or classroom use. Key nodes include 'sentence classification' (simple, compound, complex, compound&complex) and 'subordinate clause' (noun clause, adj clause, adv clause).
