AIMS OF TEACHING & READING
Teaching reading involves teaching basic word,
phrase and sentence recognition, as well as the ability to retrieve information contained in texts. But there are some other aims that are often neglected. Lets us look more closely at each one of these additional aims: Objectives of the KBSR -3M (Reading, Writing, Counting)
(add, subtract, multiply, divide) Objectives of the KBSM
-read & understand purpose and poetry for in formation
and enjoyment. -student to retrieve information contained in texts . ADDITIONAL AIMS Help pupils to become independent readers. The benefits of being a frequent and enthusiastic reader are well documented. The more you read and enjoy reading, the better and more confident you become at reading and the more you want to do it. Creating skilled, confident readers who are eager to access the curriculum is the fundamental way in which the Reading Connects approach can help your school. Teach them how to use dictionary an index, a table of contents and so on. For example :when the student doing homework or self reading, they might use on of this items to improve understanding. DEVELOP RESPONSE TO TEXT Recognize that pupils are individuals that they must learn to respond as individual to the text they read. Before students read a selection, the teacher uses the text map to support an interactive introduction of the text. After students have read the text, they revisit the text map to modify and to elaborate on their initial response. In this way, they further build their understanding of the relationships between the organizational features of the text and what they learned. HELP PUPILS READ WITH ADEQUATE UNDERSTANDING Pupils does not have to understand everything in a text. He needs to understand only what is important for his purpose. The best methods of teaching comprehension strategies are systematic and include direct explanation by the teacher, modelling by the teacher, guided practice by the teacher, application by the pupil with help of the teacher. To teach children to point out hard to understand parts of text and then to look for solutions while rereading sections for clues. To answer questions that help pupils focus on important points in a text. To make up questions. For example: after guiding them, give some question regards on items which student feel difficult to understand HELP PUPILS READ AT APPROPRIATE SPEED Get texts that pupils can read comfortably, at the speed the kind of text you have chosen is normally read. Begin with simple text to avoid word stumbling over every other word in the story or text. Practice, – you have to use your skills on a regular basis. It took you several years to learn to read, and it will take time to improve your reading skill. HELP PEOPLE READ AT APPROPRIATE SPEED
Choose easy material to start – when you begin speed
reading, don't attempt it with a challenging textbook. Read something like a novel or travel-writing, that you can realistically comprehend with a quick once-over. Use a pointer or other device to help push your reading speed – when you quickly draw a card down the page or run your finger back and forth you force your eyes and brain to keep pace. Take a step back and use the material's structure – this includes skimming information to get a feel for the organization and l looking for the ways in which the author transitions from one topic to the next. HELP PUPILS READ SILENTLY It will make you read faster- When you read silently, you reduce your reading speed and therefore cover more learning ground It Will Improve your Understanding-As said above, when you read out loud you are concentrating on your pronunciation rather than reading the words in front of you. You absorb much more information, and understand more. It Will Help You With Your Pronunciation -When reading English text silently, you can ‘hear’ the words as you read them. Helps You To Filter Out The Information-When you read aloud you have no option but to read every single word you come across Helps Exam Skills-If you are taking a course with a final exam, you won’t be allowed to read the questions or problems out loud.
Teaching reading means enabling a person to acquire
the skills, strategies and attitudes required to make sense of text. BARRETT’ S TAXONOMY Literal recognition or recall - Understanding of information that is explicitly stated in the text. Such questions ensure that the views and information overtly expressed in the text are understood. - Recall of main ideas, details sequence, cause-effect relationships, character traits. example: -The student is requested to identify or locate or to call up from memory statements about a character which help to point up the type of person he was, when such statements were made by the author of the selection Inference - drawing conclusions not stated in the text but implied by the facts given. The reader uses knowledge of linguistic implications, logic previous knowledge of related situations.
example: inferring main ideas ,supporting ,details ,
sequence ,cause-effect relationships, predicting outcomes. - The student is required to infer likenesses and differences in characters, times, or places. Such inferential comparisons revolve around ideas such as "here and there", "he and she", and "she and she Evaluation - judgments about whether something is real or imaginary, whether it is appropriate, worthwhile, desirable or acceptable. Evaluation involves values and therefore there is usually no ‘CORRECT’ answer to questions involve evaluation. - for exchange of views and interpretations. They can be very enjoyable. example:- Judgments of Reality or Fantasy, Judgments of Adequacy or Validity, Judgments of Appropriateness, Judgments of worth, Desirability or Acceptability Appreciation - Emotional response to plot or them; reactions to the author's use of language. Appreciation involves the taste. Again there are no correct answers. -opportunities for exchange of views and interpretations again make these question very enjoyable. Example:- Emotional Response to the Content, Identification with Characters and Incidents, Reactions to the Author's Use of Language and Imagery
