Paragraph Reading Strategies : Books and Novels

Paragraph Reading Strategies : Books and Novels

Today I had the reading English strategies class in the morning again. The teacher taught me about " Paragraph Reading Strategies : Books" When the class started, she gave us doing the exercise- There are eight short descriptions of books and novels. Read the question and then skim the descriptions for the answeres. Work as quickly as I can. Compare my answers with other student.

Books-including with title, author. description, publisher, year,number of page and cost of book etc.

Novels-including with title, authers. description, publisher, year,number of page and cost of book etc.

I think this is quite difficult but we have to get to know new words that we have never seen and we know the Asian culture.

Read Faster!

Read Faster!

   

       This teacher taught me about. "Read more". When I heard that I was interested in the topic. Beginner Level She talked to us about obstacls to read with faster performance. I said I read it in English because I will use all Scaning if I did not know the meaning of other words, I will open the dictionary and write the words in their notebooks. If I do not understand or interpret text that I read it several times. I feel like the role because it reflected real problems reading. And we can truly know how to solve problems.

1.Avoid sounding out the words in your head. 

2.Avoid reading word-by-word. 

3.Overcome inefficient eye movement.

4.Eliminate regression.

Extensive Reading

Extensive Reading

This course is a good course for impoving English skills.

The benefits of this course makes me to know about 

how to find the main idea in each paragraphs, how to speak the words correctly, how to summarize the text the teacher giving, how to use skimming and scanning in the text, using Cambridge dictionary on website, writing English sentences correctly etc.

 I review a book or article to determine the research behind it. Knowing this information helps me to determine how the reader is making his/her conclusions and what might be absent from the discussion. So, I check the end of each chapter, the footnotes and end notes. The research notes also lead you to other writers should you want to investigate ideas further.

You might ask why I would use these two additional reading strategies. Earlier in my career I was more easily swayed by the popular business press. Later, I started looking behind what was being written to determine if what was being said was merely opinion or well substantiated with solid research. Having this distinction helped me to distinguish fad from fact. 

I think all article in this course are important and different to study but it makes me understand more than I have been.Thank you Asst. Prof. Dr.Usa Noytim for teaching about English Reading Strategies and providing lots of new experiences.
