Problem in Teaching Reading

Reading is a process of receiving and interpreting information. It is an activity which involves the reader and the reading materials in building meaning.
The important thing of teaching reading is trying to know what the student’s learning styles are. These are the students’ learning styles:
1.      Auditory Learners
Students with this style will be able to recall what they hear and will prefer oral instructions. They learn by listening and speaking. These students enjoy talking, interviewing, debating, participating on a panel, and or giving oral reports.
2.      Visual Learners
Students with this style will be able to recall what they see prefer written instructions. These students are sight readers who enjoy reading silently. These students enjoy working such as, maps, graphs, charts, cartoons, posters, text with a lot of pictures, and or computer graphics.
3.      Kinesthetic Learners
Students with this style can learn by touching or manipulating objects. They need to involve their whole body in learning. They remember material best if they act it out. These students enjoy playing games, making models, setting up experiments, etc.

Reading material is something that you must remember carefully. Succesful selection of materials maybe a key to enhancing student’s reading ability. In the following sections, there are several reading materials. They are:
1)      Text books
2)      Science books for children
3)      The internet
In this part we are talking about approaches in teaching reading. They are:
1)      Reading The Text
Reading aloud is sometime needed for the teachers in order to practice, so that they know the story well and can relax and concentrate on reading expressively. Reading aloud is appropriate for all students, including those who already read accurately and fluently. Reading to children is an approach that can be use strategically in order to:
o   promoting a love of reading
o   developing vocabulary and a knowledge of books and text forms
o   engaging children in conversation about texts
o   encouraging children to respond imagintively to a variety of texts
o   promoting oral language development
2)      The Programmed
Questions can be effective, because they:
o   give students a purpose for reading
o   help students to think actively as they read
o   focus students’s attention on waht they are to learn
o   encourage students to monitor their comprehension
o   help students to review content and relate what they have learned to what they already know
3)      The Individualized Approach
The materials must be from students’s choice, because students’s interest is most important.
4)      Supporting Students’ Responses
Effective teachers enable their students to savour the experience, share their enthuasiasm, and reflect on new words, expressions, or ideas. It involves other communicative skill.
