certain purpose, a certain goal must be achieved by thestudents themselves, with the guide of the teacher. Forexample, the teacher asks the students to write down

STRATEGIES IN TEACHING
READINGy By modeling the strategies aloud, talking through the
processes of previewing, predicting, skimming andscanning, and paraphrasing. This shows students howthe strategies work and how much they can knowabout a text before they begin to read word by word.
y By allowing time in class for group and individual
previewing and predicting activities as preparation forin-class or out-of-class reading. Allocating class time tothese activities indicates their importance and value.
