Reading Types

Thursday March 19, 2009
This first lesson is aimed at helping students identify the different types of reading skills required for different reading situations. These skills are naturally used when reading in the native language, but are often forgotten when applied to English reading. This lesson helps students get away from reading word by word and focus more on the whole. It will also help them activate vocabulary learning skills while reading. Finally, help students employ one of their natural mother tongue reading skills in English. Uses a TV schedule as basis for comprehension exercise.
