UNIT 5 READING

                                          UNIT 5 READING

Reading is one of the four skills, it is a receptive skill because it involves exercices in the book instead of producing it. In unit number 5 I learned about reading skill where a teacher must motivate pupils to develop this skill, When pupils start to read teachers have to pay attention in discourse (grammar and vocabulary) how sentences are connected between them to avoid misunderstandings . Moreover, we as future teachers must show them some strategies to read for example scanning (reading for specific information), skimming (reading for gist), reading for details, deducing meaning from context what they think about the text that they read in some cases is necessary that the whole reading has an imagine so it can help students to make predictions in that way they will be really interested with reading. Furthermore, this unit contains two ways of reading such as extensive reading (reading for pleasure), from my point of view thi is the most entertainment for pupils because they have the opportunity to choose any kind of book like short stories, fiction, love, thriller and so on and intensive reading (reading for language study) for example TOEFL, TKT books  where language contain technical words for different purposes maybe to pass an international exam to see if someone needs extra help or be prepared for a new chance. Personally, I would like to encourage them in reading skills firstly, pre-teaching vocabulary in power point presentations with special effects so I will catch their attention, secondly, read aloud short stories using mimics, puppets, so they feel motivated at the same time they will practice, thirdly incorporate activities to read for example: story maps, think-alouds, summarizing, think and search and many others and finally if we help them in these ways they will be critical thinkers at the  same time they love to read.
