Five Teaching Strategies for Reading

21

These strategies need not be developed one at a time or in a strict sequence at different stages of learning. With each teaching strategies, students should be involved in reading different text types for a variety of purposes.

Teacher should plan for:

 reading to their pupils ( Reading Aloud and Storytelling )

 reading with their pupils ( Shared Reading and Supported Reading )

 reading by their pupils ( Independent Reading )

Deciding on the Teaching Strategies for Reading

Supports? Challenges?

If there are many challenges and few supports, the text is probably best for storytelling or reading aloud.

If there are more challenges than supports, the text is probably more suitable for use as a shared reading text.

If there is a good balance of supports and challenges, the text is probably a good choice for a supported reading text.

If there are many supports and a few challenges, the text is

probably suitable as a text for independent reading.
