What do effective readers do?
Effective readers:
have a clear purpose in reading;
read silently;
read phrase by phrase, rather than word by word;
concentrate on the important bits, skim the rest, and skip the insignificant parts;
use different speeds and strategies for different reading tasks;
perceive the information in the target language rather than mentally translate;
guess the meaning of new words from the context, or ignore them;
have and use background information to help understand the text.
What do we read?
We believe ESL/EFL reading textbooks should have a great variety of authentic materials, as much as the coverage allows. Of course, textbooks should always be supplemented by extra materials.
A list of things we read in daily life (p. 115):
Calendars
Clothes size labels
Magazines
Addresses
Graffiti on walls
Radio/TV guides
Phone books
Children’s scribbling
Advertisements
Name cards
