Post 133: The Reading Skills Process

I learned that there are two ways to teach reading. You can teach students phonics and reading rules. You can also teach students how to predict story structure, use pictures, use the story title to improve reading comprehension. The Acquisition Method (Krashen's Acquisition/Learning Hypothesis) states that teacher should focus on meaning rather than form (phonics) to teach reading to make reading enjoyable to students.  At UCLA, I learned there are three steps to the Reading Process: Pre-writing, Reading and Post Reading.
