In a society like ours, the habit of reading is very poor.

Children and even adults don't like to read and even when they have to, they struggle, due to the lack of reading techniques.

         Students who struggle in reading need to be taught specific reading strategies in order to catch up. All children can learn to read, it may simply take a little extra patience and purposeful teaching in order to help open the world of print.

          Teachers have the responsibility to guide and teach their students to acquire good reading skills and thus improve vocabulary, grammar and other language skills.



Basic Concepts

Teaching reading in EFL is a bit different than the way native speakers are taught to read.  While vocabulary is an important part of reading, teaching the reading skills of surveying, skimming, scanning, inference, predicting and guessing are just as important.
Research tends to indicate that a student’s reading comprehension can be improved by focusing on teaching students skills in the following areas:

• Vocabulary
• scanning
• skimming
•  Guessing and predicting from context
