STRATEGIES FOR READING LITERACY

Session Guide 1 Title- Improving reading skills through effective reading strategies
I. Greetings (5 minutes)

Say:
Good day everyone, I am RUBYLYN C. NUŇEZ. I will be facilitating the session
entitled “Improving reading skills through effective reading strategies.”

II. Introduction (5minutes)

Say:

Reading is a lifelong skill to be used both at school and throughout life. Reading is
a basic life skill. It is a cornerstone for a child's success in school and, indeed,
throughout life. Without the ability to read well, opportunities for personal
fulfilment and job success inevitably will be lost. Despite its importance, reading
is one of the most challenging areas in the education system. The ever-increasing
demand for high levels of literacy in our technological society makes this problem
even more pressing. Students’ attitudes regarding the purposes for reading also
influence their ability to read. When dealing with reading we encountered two
layers of reality: one that we can see and one that we cannot see. Therefore, the
purpose of reading is to make the invisible layer, the underlying meaning, visible
and clear). Teele asserts that the goal of all readers should be to understand what
they read. Research shows good readers are actively involved with the text, and
they are aware of the processes they use to understand what they read. Teachers
can help improve student comprehension through instruction of reading strategies.
Predicting, making connections, visualizing, inferring, questioning, and
summarizing are strategies shown by research to improve reading comprehension.
It is important to teach the strategies by naming the strategy and how it should be
used, modelling through the think-aloud process, group practice, partner practice,
and independent use of the strategy.
