This document provides guidance on how to teach reading. It recommends preparing pre, during, and post reading activities. Teachers should teach reading strategies like skimming, scanning, inferring, and summarizing to help students comprehend texts. The document also suggests setting aside time monthly for dedicated reading classes and incorporating reading activities like predicting, questioning, and using KWL charts. The overall goals are to engage students in reading, match texts to their level, and help students develop into lifelong readers.

2. • Is reading a skill that I develop and
enhance in classes or is it an activity sts
do in classes?
• Do I prepare pre, while and post
activities when there is a reading in the
lesson?

the reading?

comprehensively?
