:) I would like to share something about teaching of reading. As we all know, reading and vocabulary are the weakest parts in many of our pupils/students today. Here are some tips for English teachers or maybe parents who are looking for strategies in reading to help our children;

What Are Some Techniques for Teaching Before-Reading Strategies?

* Before reading, strategic readers:
* PREVIEW the text by looking at the title, the pictures, and the print in order to evoke relevant thoughts and memories
* BUILD BACKGROUND by activating appropriate prior knowledge through self-question ing about what they already know about the topic (or story), the vocabulary, and the form in which the topic (or story) is presented
* SET PURPOSES for reading by asking questions about what they want to learn during the reading process.

For more information, you can look up into the internet and try to search for READING STRATEGIES.
