Chapter 2. Approaches to teaching reading skills effectively
2.1. Recommended instructional techniques for reading as communication
For at least two reasons, understanding the natural method of reading will be helpful for language teachers. First, we can base instructional tactics for reading skills on the basic techniques we are familiar with in reading. Second, this information can be applied to the reading skills provided by Intended learning objectives. Strategic reading can help readers accomplish reading's skills-oriented goal.
The reading model we discussed in the previous part, which normally develops from strategic reading, uses the following instructional tactics.
Pre-while-Post (P-W-P) Strategy
The three-phase method of teaching reading, which is what our curriculum recommends, is known as strategic reading. The three stages of this reading strategy are listed below:
1. Pre-reading
The instructor aims to do the following during the pre-reading phase:
• Start by brainstorming.
• To inspire students by providing a cause for reading in order to provide some language preparation for the text; • To introduce and spark interest in the topic/sub-theme.
Teachers can use the helpful questions listed below to help them better prepare for this stage:
• What information, thoughts, or attitudes do the students already have about the subject of the work, and how might they draw on this information?
Why should anyone desire to read the material, and can students have the same or similar reactions? Answers to the question will provide suggestions for how to introduce the book, inspire students, and simultaneously incorporate language.
Some pre-reading activities
1. Speed chatting
Prepare one or two straightforward questions relevant to the reading's subject. Request that the students form two rows facing one another. After that, urge your students to exchange questions with one another while reminding them that they only have 60 seconds to do so. One of the rows rotates after the 60 seconds are up, giving each student a new friend. Several times, repeat the procedure.
2. Discussion
Encourage the students to take part in a debate regarding the reading's subject. Prepare four or five sentences summarizing different viewpoints on the reading. Place them throughout the classroom after reading them to the students. Encourage the students to move to a location close to the viewpoint they agree with the most. Encourage that group to then come up with reasons for agreeing with that specific statement. Following this, the students can engage in conversation with members of various groups to discuss their ideas and justifications.
3. Brainstorming
Give the class five minutes to brainstorm ideas relating to the topic of the reading. Then give them a further five minutes to organize their ideas and to form sentences. Once they have completed this, encourage them to get up and move around the room and share their ideas with other learners.
4.The title
Ask that the pupils form small groups, then reveal to each group what they will be reading. Together, the students should pool their expertise on this subject. Each group may once more discuss its thoughts with the other groups after finishing.
5. Storytelling
Create a brief, individualized narrative about a subject related to the reading. Be original in your storytelling. It should not be an exact replica of something that actually occurred to you, but it must be energetic and personal. It will be beneficial if the story also contains some humor and suspense.
6. Short conversations
Give the children a sentence from the text this time. After then, the students discuss the statement with a companion. Tell them there is just one rule, though. Each time it is their turn to talk, they are limited to three words.
7. Pictionary
Choose a few of the text's keywords. Put the class into groups of two or three. A student from each group visits the whiteboard in turn at the same time. They are given a word and instructed to illustrate it. Letters and digits are not permitted in their drawing. In an effort to score points for their side, the other pupils strive to guess the word. This has the potential to get really exciting!
8. Purpose
Provide your children with the motivation to finish the reading. This can take the form of some teacher-prepared discussion questions about the subject matter. Before the students read the book, give them the questions. Ask them to read them, and as they do so, have them get ready to respond to these discussion questions. After reading the book, they have an additional discussion about the questions.
9. Videos
These days, there is a ton of excellent free entertainment available. Find a brief movie that addresses the reading's subject first. I would recommend anything that lasts for about three minutes. After you've seen the film for yourself, make some straightforward discussion points. Play the video and then instruct the students to discuss what they observed with someone else.
10. Pictures
Choose three or four images that are related to the reading's subject. Give copies of the photographs to each group after instructing the pupils to form small groups. The students should collaborate to make connections between the images and make educated guesses about the subject of the text. The turn for each group to express their thoughts is swapped.
