How to teach reading
Teaching reading
Please give principles for teaching reading

I. Principles for teaching reading:
1. When teaching a reading text, it`s beneficial to state a purpose for reading the given text, tell students why they are reading the text.
2. Prepare the sts to read by introducing the topic of the passage (discussion).







3. Before reading the text, have sts read questions about it beforehand to help them focus on the meaning.

4. Do not pre- teach vocabulary unless necessary (sts can guess the meaning of unknown words).

5. Have sts read silently without whispering the words or moving their lips.









6. Discuss difficult vocabulary after reading the text, if necessary.

7. When discussing the answers to comprehension questions, be sure to refer back to the text. This will help the sts practice finding the answers themselves.

8..Finally, remember to focus on developing the skills of the readers.

1. In Grammar-Translation, all new words are taught / translated, but it is better to pre-teach only a few key words and teach students how to guess the rest from context.
2. All kinds of reading materials should be encouraged because different reading skills are required to read different texts.

3. It is unrealistic to think students will read on their own - mostly because of lack of habit and lack of material.
4. However, a lot of `schooling` and testing just encourages a culture of `right answers` instead of teaching the skill, the process of reading.
5. See 2 above.

6. This is the traditional way but not the only way. This module will present teachers with many alternatives.
7. Reading is an individual skill. Also, reading skills cannot be developed through reading in groups.

8. It is not so much about level of difficulty but about reproducing authentic materials for large classes, and finding time to use such material in an already overcrowded time-table.
9. This is the traditional approach for teaching pronunciation, but reading aloud does not facilitate comprehension, nor does it help students develop skills and strategies for reading.
