TEACHING READING
What is reading?
-
-
If we understand all the words in the text, we will understand the text.
The more words there are, the longer the text will take to read
-
Beginning reading
Phonemic awareness
This involves making sure the students can hear and differentiate between the differents sounds, or phonemes, of English which they will need to match with the letters or letter combinations that represent them.
Practical principles
-
Begin with single letters, starting with the most common and useful.
-
-
Reading tasks
Letters in words
Focus on single letters but students have to identify the letters in words which they already know in their spoken form.
These exercises are particularly useful for classes which are learning a new writing system.

-
Fluent reading
-
The aim is for our students to become fluent readers in the same way that we want to be fluent listeners and speakers
-
-
Extensive reading
The silent reading by individual students of long, interesting texts
Reading for pleasure
Problems
-
Money: doesn't have the necessary financial resources to set up and to maintain and keep adding to a library
Monitoring: Is difficult to know whether students are actually reading their books. Some teachers insist on a "book report"
