Why reading is important…
and why Richmond readers are the best!
As teachers, we place great value on reading. We often say that we wished our students read more.
READING
Like listening, reading is a receptive skill and learners need lots of exposure to written English before they can produce it for themselves. Reading helps learners extend their vocabulary and provides a variety of models for their own written skills. Teachers are often reluctant to spend time on reading in class as they think it can be done at home, but it is important that we equip learners with the skills they need to be able to read widely outside class. The first step to encouraging students to read more widely is to make them aware of how much or little they already read in English.
Good readers
- Guess unknown words from the context.
- Predict what is going to come next.
- Read whole chunks rather than individual words at a time.
- Interact with the text as they go along.
- Understand what they read.
- Enjoy reading.
Motivation and purpose
Some students may not enjoy reading if they are not very good at it, so it is important to try to develop their skills if they are to read more widely on their own. They need plenty of experience of being successful readers as this is likely to motivate them to want to read more.
1. The topics in our readers are the newest you'll find. They grab the attention of younger readers and teenagers, motivating them to open the book and dive in.
2. Many of our readers use the important concept of headwords. Headwords are the words that students are expected to know without using a dictionary. They represent the number of words in the student's receptive vocabulary. Selecting the correct number of headwords for your student's level means they will have a stress-free reading experience, which will motivate them to read more and recycle the words that they have learnt in class.
3. Our readers for younger learners contain cross-curricular and project work, helping students make connections between English and what they learn in other subjects.
