Teaching Reading

 Reading is the third and a receptive skill., it is a  skill of literacy as it is normally learnt after going school either formal or informal. But it is inseparable form other language skill. Simply, reading means recognition of  scripts and the verbalisation of letters. It is  not only comprehensiveness graphic symbols but also grasping knowledge, getting information and understanding of message- imparted by and sort of writing moreover, the highest achievement of a  good reader is marked by the attainment of reading for all purpose.
        A good reader doesn't  look every letters and words one by one. He/ She tries to take the meaning of a block of words at a time. He moves his eyes quickly making long jump and short pause. He has a long eye span. He doesn't move his lips and point letters with finger tip and tip of pen/ pencil while reading.  Going back and repeating words again and again reader moves his eyes slowly taking short jumps and making a long pause . He fails to understand easily, guessing meaning from the context can't be possible. Instead, he goes back and repats the same again and again, perhaps consulting dictionary for each and every new word.
    a) Why is reading ?
       There may be many reasons of  of doing reading . Some people read something to get detailed information of the texts. Others may read to enteration, to learn grammar, vocabulary and some read to get the gist of a text and locate important information from the long text as well.
