Reading is an active skill that requires understanding vocabulary, critical thinking, and engagement with the content. Students should be encouraged to respond to both the language and meaning of a text. Effective reading instruction incorporates prediction, uses activities appropriate for students' levels, matches tasks to topics, and exploits texts through integration into interesting class sequences.
