Reading skills and reading strategies. 
 
Reading strategies are very important for improving reading skills. In order to make learning reading 
more effective teachers should know a number of strategies and teach them to learners. In this part of 
coursework I will count several reading strategies that all language teachers ought to know.
Previewing 
Previewing is absolutely essential for students to get a sense of what the text is 
about. “Elements that are usually helpful for previewing are newspaper headlines or 
titles; images or photos; and signal words or format. For example, if the article has 
words like 
first
, 
second
, 
third
, etc… at the beginning of each paragraph or is a 
numbered list, students will get the sense that the text lists steps or is a roundup article. 
Reading Exercise
: Choose a newspaper article with a great headline”

. Before reading 
the article, ask students what they think the article will be about, based on the headline. 
Contextualizing 
It is always helpful for students to learn to place the text within a context. Is the news 
article centered on something that happens everywhere in the world, or just in one 
specific location? Is this something that affects you, the reader, or other people in the 
world? Does the main character in the story go through something you can relate to, or 
something you have no experience in? These are great questions for students to think 
about as they read. 
Reading Exercise
: Before reading this text about Education in 
Britain, discuss the educational system in the country your students are currently in: 
How many years of grade school are there? How many years of high school? Students 
read about what it’s like to go to school in Britain and compare it to their country.
