Theme: while-reading skills and activities. Introduction

9. Videos

These days, there is a ton of excellent free entertainment available. Find a brief movie that addresses the reading's subject first. I would recommend anything that lasts for about three minutes. After you've seen the film for yourself, make some straightforward discussion points. Play the video and then instruct the students to discuss what they observed with someone else.

10. Pictures

Choose three or four images that are related to the reading's subject. Give copies of the photographs to each group after instructing the pupils to form small groups. The students should collaborate to make connections between the images and make educated guesses about the subject of the text. The turn for each group to express their thoughts is swapped.

   While-reading
   

At this level, the text is the main focus rather than the learners' initial thoughts. The objectives of this stage are to:

• Assist in understanding the writer's intent; and

• Assist in understanding the text's clarity and organization.

The while-reading stage is described in the following question.
What purpose does this text serve?

• How is the structure or development of the text? (For instance, a dialog,

descriptive piece, and a story)

• What information or content can be gathered from the text?

• What can be inferred or derived by the reader from the text?

Which language might be picked up from the text?

• The various reading techniques that can be used.

3. Post-reading

The objectives of post-reading are to:

• Consolidate contemplation on what has been learned; and

• Connect the text to the learner's own experience, interests, or points of view.

The following query could be used by teachers to generate stage ideas.

• Are the students familiar with any circumstances like the one described in the text?

• Does the text create a scenario that needs advice?
• Is there a problem that has to be solved in the text?
• Does the text express any points of view that would require rebuttal?
