Teaching and Developing Reading Skills
Teaching and Developing Reading Skills is for anyone who wants to provide their learners with rich and rewarding reading experiences, both in print and digital formats. Supported by insights from recent research, this accessible book promotes the teaching of reading in a theoretically sound way, moving beyond a comprehension-testing approach to reading. The practical part of the book provides a collection of accessible, generic activities so that you can support and develop learners’ reading skills and strategies. Its scope is wide-ranging, from promoting reading and developing fluency, to exploiting literary texts, exploiting digital sources, using learner-generated texts, developing critical reading skills and assessing reading. • Activities are underpinned by theory, promoting a coherent view of reading and how learners can become better readers. • Activities are generalisable and suitable for a wide variety of ages and teaching contexts, including ESP and EAP. • The material contains a bank of texts, used to exemplify activities where necessary. • Further activities support you to develop excellence in the teaching of reading through guided reflection and action research.
