Reading Strategies

To establish good reading skills get your students, before reading to think about the themes or main Ideas. Help them understand previewing the title, author background material, illustrations, figures. Try to get the students to read through swiftly and try to get the students to answer a main idea question or state the main idea in single sentence. Get them to understand new vocabulary with noticing inexperienced words, phrases, and terms, guessing what they mean, looking at the dictionary if the student does not understand a word. Help  them with summarizing  the writing the main ideas of the reading in their individual words.
