Mattingly "AI & Prompt Design: The Basics of Prompt Design"
Teaching reading
1. Reading is an activity with a purpose. A person may read in order to gain
information or verify existing knowledge, or in order to critique a writer's
ideas or writing style. A person may also read for enjoyment, or to
enhance knowledge of the language being read.
6. Encourage students to read as
often and as much as possible
Students need to be engaged
with what they are reading
Encourage students to respond
to the content of a text, not just
concentrate on its construction
Prediction is a major factor in
reading
Match the task to the topic
when using intensive reading
texts.
Good teachers exploit reading
texts to the full
7. Library
• Students need to
have access to a
collection of
readers, both at
their own level and
above and below
it.
Choice
• Students are much
more likely to read
with enthusiasm if
they have made the
decision about what
they read.
Feedbac
k
• Students should
have an opportunity
to give feedback on
what they have
read, either verbally
or in written form.
Time
• We need to give
students time for
reading in addition
to those occasions
when they read on
their own
