Lesson 3: Teaching How to Read
Be sure to give your students the right level of reading materials and exercises based on their own language level. Start out with small writing example and common vocabulary, later moving to more advanced writing examples and specific vocabulary. You never want to challenge your students to the point of utter frustration!
Before your students read, discuss what they will be reading so that they have an idea of the subject. You can also put together ideas about what will happen, then discuss after the reading what has happened.
Have your students write down any words they do not understand. Later look up these words and discuss them. Your students will remember these words for the next time.
Use writing example with pictures, your students will be able to combine words with visuals.
Be creative! Give your students material that they are interested in. You will find they are much quicker to learn when they are reading about a subject that interests them!
