Study Notes
Effective Reading Techniques
- Consider guessing the meaning of new vocabulary words
- Reading aloud is not the same as reading comprehension; set up a task before reading
- Introduce the themes of the text before reading
- Follow-up activities and use authentic materials for reading
- The schema theory explains how readers use prior knowledge to understand and get new information from a text
Cognitive Processing
- Top-down processing: using background knowledge to predict the meaning of a text
- Bottom-up processing: constructing meaning from individual words or sounds
- The interactive model combines both top-down and bottom-up processing techniques
Reading Strategies
- Intensive reading: deconstructing a text to get as much information as possible
- Engage students in activities like brainstorming, discussions, and picture analysis before reading
- During reading, use activities like skimming, scanning, and answering comprehension questions
- After reading, reinforce learning through summarizing, discussions, and drawing activities
- Implement reading strategies like SQ3R, Standard Reading Exercise, Reciprocal Teaching, and Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction (CORI) to enhance comprehension

- Use good teaching practice, consistent rules, and achievable tasks to help SEN students
- Prepare students for listening activities by activating schema and connecting to their background knowledge
- Use visual aids, facial expressions, and body movement to help students actively listen
- Follow up with comprehension checking activities after listening
