    The key takeaways are that reading approach is a method used by teachers to improve students' knowledge and skills through reading more. It involves activities like inferencing, guessing and predicting.

    Reading approach is a method used by teachers where students are required to read more passages in order to improve their knowledge and vocabulary. It was first used to teach English, French and German as a second language.

    The objectives of reading approach are for students to be able to identify meanings rather than just letters/words, understand texts quickly and read actively.

    READING

    APPROACH
    what is reading
    approach?
    Reading approach is one of methods that can be used by
    teacher.
    In reading approach, students will improve their knowledge and
    get something new because they are demanded to read more.
    Reading becomes important because it is an active skill which
    involves inferencing, guessing, predicting etc.
    A BRIEF HISTORY
    The reading approach or reading method was first
    devised for English learners in India and French or
    German learners in the United States of America who
    have no time to master the “active” or oral use of the
    language. It has also been advocated in England for
    pupils of inferior language-learning ability.
    ObjectiveS:
    The students are able to identify meaning
    rather than letters or words
    The students are able to understand and
    read the text quickly
    The students are able to read actively
    Types of reading and
    Learning Activities
    SKIMMING
    It is an activity to read shorter texts to extract
    accurate detailed information.
    It is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a
    text.
    It is done at a speed three to four times faster
    than normal reading.
    People often skim when they have lots of material
    to read in a limited amount of time.
    Skimming works well to find dates, names, and
    places. It might be used to review graphs, tables,
    and charts.
    SCANNING
    It is a technique that is often used when
    looking up a word in the telephone book or
    dictionary.
    It involves moving eyes quickly down the page
    seeking specific words and phrases.
    When scanning, the students look for the
    author’s use of organizers such as numbers,
    letters, steps, or the words, first, second, or
    next. They look for words that are bold faced,
    italics, or in a different font size, style, or
    color.
    EXTENSIVE READING
    It is reading longer text, usually for
    pleasure/enjoyment.
    It is an approach to language learning, including
    foreign language learning, by the means of a
    large amount of reading.
    We can consider extensive reading as private
    reading in width at a pace suited to the
    individual’s ability, taste, and mood.
    It is a free reading of books and other written
    material that is not too difficult nor too easy.
    Extensive Reading is sometimes called Free
    Voluntary Reading.
    The role of extensive reading in
    language learning:
    1. It can provide ‘comprehensible input.
    2. It can enhance learners’ general language competence.
    3. It increases the students’ exposure to the language.
    4. It can increase knowledge of vocabulary.
    5. It can lead to improvement in writing.
    6. It can motivate learners to read.
    7. It can consolidate previously learned language.
    8. It helps to build confidence with extended texts.
    9. It encourages the exploitation of textual redundancy.
    10. It facilitates the development of prediction skills.
    INTENSIVE READING
    It is quickly going through a text to find a
    particular piece of information.
    It is essential reading in-depth and is usually
    done in the class with each pupil having the
    same text.
    Intensive reading involves students reading in
    detail with specific learning aims and tasks.
    The Intensive Reading Technique is reading for
    a high degree of comprehension and retention
    over a long period of time.
    (For example, the students read a short text
    and put events from it into chronological order.)
    Kinds of instructional
    experiences and materials
    Reading aloud
    the teacher is an important component of the
    struggling reader’s literacy program.
    Teacher is a model in the reading process and
    students listen and respond to the teacher.
    Teachers should select stories, poems, and
    informational texts to read aloud that help
    expands and strengthen the background knowledge
    of their students.
    Materials: storybooks, content materials, poetry, charts.
    Reading aloud
    Purposes:
    – To stretch students beyond their reading levels,
    particularly in content areas under study; expand
    vocabulary; develop concepts.
    – To expose students to varied forms of text (fiction,
    nonfiction, poetry)
    – To enlist varied forms of response (discussion, writing,
    drama, art, movement, etc.)
    – To study various genres, literary devices, writer’s
    craft.
    Shared reading
    The teacher leads and students participate.
    This is extremely valuable for the child who is having
    trouble figuring out what reading is all about.
    The teacher reads a text while the student observes and
    follows along silently. This method helps build reading
    fluency and comprehension.
    Materials: primarily enlarged texts visible to students; may
    include content materials, storybooks, charts, poems, songs.
    Shared reading
    Purposes:
    – To teach concepts about print and print
    conventions.
    – To teach comprehension and
    interpretation.
    – To analyze textual features: word study
    (e.g. phonics, word analogies, structural
    analysis)
    Word study
    Teacher leads and students participate. Purposes:
    Word study fosters recognition of the – To provide systematic, focused
    individual sounds of words and an instruction at the word level.
    understanding of the alphabetic principle
    and its application to reading and – To provide additional support for
    spelling. students who need it.
    Activities involve phonemic awareness,
    phonics, structural analysis, and the
    development of sight vocabulary.

    Materials: core program, trade


    books, charts, environmental print.
    Guided reading
    It involves teachers’ structuring learning situations in
    which children work in a small group on material that is
    modestly challenging to them.
    Teacher monitors for application of strategies.
    A student reads with the assistance of an instructor as
    it is needed.
    When an unfamiliar word appears, the instructor either
    tells the student the word or assists the student in
    decoding the word.
    During the story, the teacher stops at certain points and Materials: books or materials that

    comprehension. This helps build practice in comprehension,
    decoding, sight word vocabulary, and oral reading.
    Guided reading
    Purposes:
    – To practice application of specific strategies/skills
    in highly focused manner.
    – To provide opportunity to teacher-monitoring of
    application of skills and strategies.
    – To provide instruction as close as possible to
    students’ instructional levels while gradually increasing the
    difficulty of the material.
    Independent reading
    Independent reading is what struggling readers
    most need to practice.
    Struggling readers should be encouraged to select
    books that match their interests and reading
    abilities.
    Teacher can assist them in finding appropriate
    books by giving them tips on how to select books
    on their own. Teacher monitors for time on task.

    the
    advantages AND
    DISADVANTAGES OF

    reading
    approach
    advantages
    1. Reading approach can be used in a big class.
    2. In reading approach, students can know much vocabulary because they have to
    read the passage.
    3. The reading method requires little teaching skill since the lesson-form is a
    standardized and fixed procedure.
    4. The reading method is economical of time since the pupils all read
    simultaneously.
    5. The reading method does not demand deep knowledge of the language on the
    part of the teacher, since the teacher does not have to compose the sentences
    and questions: everything is supplied in the book.
    DISADVANTAGES
    1. Since reading approach is only focused on written skill, this
    approach is lack in speaking skill.
    2. Reading approach is oppressive approach because the vocabularies
    and grammar are controlled.
    Based on what you have learned, what
    do you think is the best type of reading
    approach to use when teaching?
    Thank you!
