3. INTRODUCTION
• Reading is a way of getting information from something that is written. Reading involves recognising
the symbols that make up alanguage. Reading and hearing are the two most common ways to get
information. Information gained from reading can includeentertainment, especially when
reading fiction or humor.
• Reading by people is mostly done from paper. Stone, or chalk on a blackboard, or ink on
a whiteboard can also be read. Computer displays can be read.
• Reading can be something that someone does by themself or they can read aloud. This could be done
to benefit other listeners. It could also be done to help concentrate.

4. TYPES OF READERS IN OUR
SOCIETY
• Highly engaged readers: They have a love of
reading, always have at least one book ‘on the go’
and take their reading a step or more further by
participating in book clubs/reading groups, reading
or contributing to literary blogs or other material
online, attending literary festivals
• Regular readers: They also enjoy reading and
read regularly or fairly regularly.
• Occasional readers: They quite enjoy reading but
they do not read on a regular basis and might tend
to read books that have come highly
recommended.
• Unenthusiastic readers (rather than non-readers):
People who are able to read competently but don’t
enjoy it very much and don’t choose to read books.
Their preference may be to read newspapers or
magazines.

5. CREATIVE READING
• IT PROVIDES A ‘HOOK’ THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS – NEITHER WORTHY NOR ELITIST, IT HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO DRAW EVERYONE IN
• IT CAN INVOLVE AND ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WHO LACK SOME READING SKILLS BY PROMOTING AUDIO
BOOKS, TELLING ONE’S OWN STORIES, IDENTIFYING NEW FORMS OF NARRATIVE
• IT CAN INVOLVE CHILDREN THROUGH TO OLD PEOPLE – ALL HAVE STORIES TO TELL AND LISTEN TO AND THE
STORIES THAT SPAN GENERATIONS ARE SEEN AS SOME OF THE MOST FASCINATING.

6. Education System In Schools (Old)
 Children in schools were taught
chapters with the help of chalk
and blackboard.
 The were also taught using books.
 Children could not understand
their topics easily.

7. Education System In Schools(new)
 In, 2007 there was a new way of
learning. It changed the world of
reading
 Children started learning using audio
visuals.
 This made studies easier for them.

8. Libraries
• A library is a place where
many books are kept.
• Most libraries are public
and let people take the
books to use in their
home.
• Most libraries let people
borrow books for several
weeks.
• Other libraries keep
famous or rare books.

10. INTERNET USED FOR READING INFORMATION
 The ‘homework’ pack provided participants
with information that they could supplement
by looking at sites on the internet.
 Indeed, much of this information signposted
them to sites that promoted reading in some
form on the web.
 Some in each group looked into all or some
of these sites though rather fewer than
visited the library or talked to their friends
and family.

11. SOCIAL READING
• A couple of people felt that poetry slams
looked interesting, possibly as a family
activity
• The concept of book crossing grabbed
the imagination of a small number and led
to an enthusiasm for the idea of
exchanging books
• A number of participants seemed to
derive much satisfaction from talking to
others about reading and a couple found
they had reawakened a desire to read in
others

12. Reading Opportunities
Books might be made available in
new settings
 Audio book room/booths in coffee
shops, libraries, book shops
 Books or other material in
restaurants and other public
places
 Book store concessions in coffee
shops, supermarkets etc.

13. ELECTRONIC READING
 Reading on screens, especially on small,
dedicated e-reading devices such as
the Kindle and the Sony Reader, is
causing ripples of interest and unrest in
the reading population.
 Reading on a screen is slower than
reading print on paper
 e-reading has reinvigorated their interest
in reading and the frequency with which
they read
