Topic 3: How can we build reading skills?

Recognise/match words to words they already know the meaning of

Understand the intended and inferred message

Decode words Compare and integrate the information with

their own knowledge and prior experience Apply the new knowledge or skills to their

context/personal needs 14

Part 2 –how technology can help build reading skills

15

How can we build reading skills?

we’ll cover…

Get started building reading skills—a checklist

Prepare   Be aware of the learners’ needs Be aware of the task demand Check   Ask learners what they know about the skill Deliver   Outline the session structure Expose how the foundation skill relates to the

task

Name the key purpose or skill Explain why the skill will be relevant Explain what the skill links to Use the ACSF/CSfW language.

Covered in multiple webinars

How can we build reading skills?

Prepare to read Describe the pattern or flow of the text Provide background to the topic to understand key

information Discuss the text content, in general terms Summarise, in general terms Ask and respond to

‘What do you know about…’ questions

Effective readers use…

&

Build learners’ vocabulary

How can we build reading skills? – example

Cover orthographic skills—e.g.– Identify this as a compound word work + place

- We have seen ‘work’ before – work skills, work performance- Place looks like pace – the pace of work necessary to complete the task

Cover phonological skills—e.g.– Point out ‘or’ in workplace sounds like ‘er’’ as in her, not ‘or’ as in

ore– Point out ‘c’ in workplace sounds like ‘S’

We know this because when the letter ‘c’ is followed by an ‘e’, the ‘c’ makes an ‘s’ sound. 20

If introducing the word, ‘workplace’

How can we build reading skills?

Teach skimmingShow learners sections to read: Title Introduction / first paragraph First sentence of every other

paragraph Headings / subheadings / charts /

graphs / highlighted key points Note words that stand out—e.g.

bold or italic Summary/conclusion 21

SkimmingSkimming helps leaners:• Identify the most

important information• Digest relevant

information when they have lots to read in a limited time

• Decide which text is best for the purpose.

While reading—teach explicit reading strategies

How can we build reading skills?

Teach scanningSuggest these strategies to learners: Anticipate what they are looking

for and the clues that may help to locate what is required

Search for Key words / phrases Read selectively—skip through

unhelpful sections.22

ScanningScanning helps leaners find a particular piece of information

Here’s another reading strategy you can teach…

How can we build reading skills?

Activities that push learners back to the text:

23

Create opportunities for the learner to return to the text

After reading

Philippa McLeanACER NALLNAC Conference

2015

Push them back to the text.

Explain/Justify/Predict Discuss/interact Develop an opinion Present/Role play with specific focus Solve problems/find solutions Analyse/Link/similarities/differences

How can we use technology?

24

Use technology to build reading skillsTools: Blogs / Micro-blogs – reading / commenting Social media sites Audio books – reading and listening BBC Skillswise

Techniques: Providing text for audio/video content (and visa versa) Recording yourself read out aloud and playing back (MP3 / audio recorder

app) Images which make sense of the text Chunking information (Powerpoint slides, eBooks)
