Importance of reading and its types.
Reading is a complex cognitive process of decoding symbols in order to construct or derive meaning (reading comprehension). Reading is a means of language acquisition, communication, and of sharing information and ideas. Like all languages, it is a complex interaction between the text and the reader which is shaped by the reader’s prior knowledge, experiences, attitude, and language community which is culturally and socially situated

Currently most reading is either of the printed word from ink or toner on paper, such as in a book, magazine, newspaper, leaflet, or notebook, or of electronic displays, such as computer displays, television, mobile phones or e-readers. Handwritten text may also be produced using a graphite pencil or a pen. Short texts may be written or painted on an object.Often the text relates to the object, such as an address on an envelope, product info on packaging, or text on a traffic or street sign. A slogan may be painted on a wall. A text may also be produced by arranging stones of a different color in a wall or road. Short texts like these are sometimes referred to as environmental print.Sometimes text or images are in relief, with or without using a color contrast. Words or images can be carved in stone, wood, or metal; instructions can be printed in relief on the plastic housing of a home appliance, or myriad other examples
1. What Every EFL Teacher Should Know about Reading<br />Many teachers realize that the skill students need most is Reading. Reading is a multifaceted, complex skill made up of a number of psychological, physical, and social elements. The purpose of this article is to summarize some current understandings about the nature of reading and make them accessible to language teachers.<br />Three basic methods<br />The use of graphic symbols to represent meaning is a relatively recent invention in man´s history. Learning to read is a process associated primarily with instruction in a student´s first language.<br />The methods most widely used are phonics, that is instruction in the correspondence between English letters and sounds(also known as the linguistic approach, particulary when the analysis of letter combinations and sounds is more precise); whole-word reading, whick involves recognition of single words representing objects or concepts well understood by the learners, and then moves into word groups, and the language-experience approach, in whick learners tell a brief story, or give a description or a comment, the teacher writes down the language they use, and the learners then read the language they have spoken.<br />Maturation, motivation and meaning<br />First, a level of cognitive maturation must be reached before a child is ready to read, although the age may vary widely. <br />Second, motivation must be present reading specialists point out the benefits of a rich reading environment, one in which other family members read and in which there are ample materials to read. <br />The third m is meaning: the child must know in terms of real-world experience, the content of the reading or at least a good deal of it. The third m, meaning, is particularly important for language teachers, who too often observe students reading word by word trying to get meaning from individual words rather than from longer stretches of print.<br />What are mature reading strategies? <br />Adjusting attention according to the Material.<br />Using the total context as an aid to comprehension<br />Skimming reading quickly to get an overall idea of the subject matter of a selection is called skimming.<br />Search Reading.<br />Prediccting. Guessing. Anticipating.<br />Critical Reading<br />Receptive Reading<br />Scanning <br />Using textual-discourse devices.<br />Synthesizing knowledge.<br />
