Reading

Reading

1. Silent reading

   • A skill Ss need to develop because this is the way people read most of the time
     • Advantajes:
       • Ss go at their own pace
       • Ss can go back and read it again
       • Ss concentrate on text and think about meaning
       • It lowers their affective filter (lowers stress)

2. Reading aloud

   • - For practicing pronunciation - T can interrupt and correct - Not helpful to develop comprehension
     • Disadvantages:
       • It is of little interest to Ss
       • Pupils may me exposed to wrong ponunciation models
       • It may be harmful to the silent reading of other pupils
       • Only one S is active at the time
   • Note: should not be used very often in class

3. Receptive skill that involves making sense of the text
