Reading is an
interactive process that goes on between the reader and the text, resulting in
comprehension. The text presents letters, words, sentences, and paragraphs that
encode meaning. The reader uses knowledge, skills, and strategies to determine
what that meaning is. There are two kinds of reading are extensive reading
and intensive reading.
Extensive reading is reading as
much as possible, for your own pleasure, at a difficulty level at which you can
read smoothly and quickly without looking up words or translating to English as
you go. Intensive Reading occurs when the learner is focused on the language
rather than the text. Intensive reading is the most typically taught method of
teaching reading. Some teachers only know this method and believe that by
teaching the vocabulary and grammar that is all the learner needs.
Reading activities that we can ask students to
do almost anything with a reading text. Here are some of the most common
activities.
In conclusion, Reading is an activity with a
purpose. A person may read in order to gain information or verify existing
knowledge, or in order to critique a writer's ideas or writing style. A person
may also read for enjoyment, or to enhance knowledge of the language being
read. The purposes for reading guide the reader's selection of texts.
