Unit 5 "Reading "

Reading is one of the four skills and according to (Wiliams, 2011), mentioned that “it is a receptive skill like listening” it mean that reading involves responding a text rather than producing it. In reading we can also find some Reading strategies as for example: Reading for details, Reading for specific information (scanning), deducing meaning for context, Understanding text structure, Reading for gist (skimming), inferring and predicting these reading skills will help us as future teachers because learning to read is something in another language or even though in the mother tone can be hard or can be frustrating for learners. I also learn that in reading we can find extensive and intensive reading, extensive reading it is also call reading for pleasure, involves long pieces of text and it also help to examine what the text contain and the vocabulary, Intensive reading, in this reading does not involve reading for meaning or comprehension of the text.

As future teachers I thing that we must pay attention to this skill because reading will help students to the speaking and writing because through reading students are going to be learning vocabulary, grammatical structure and fluency. We need to find some methods in order to make reading more easy for students because we live in society in which people don’t like to read so as future teachers we need to encourage students to learn reading.
