INTRODUCTION

Reading is defined as a cognitive process that involves decoding symbols to arrive

at meaning. Reading is an active process of constructing meanings of words. Reading
with a purpose helps the reader to direct information towards a goal and focuses their
attention. Although the reasons for reading may vary, the primary purpose of reading is to
understand the text. Reading is a thinking process. It allows the reader to use what he or
she may already know, also called prior knowledge. During this processing of
information, the reader uses strategies to understand what they are reading, uses themes
to organize ideas, and uses textual clues to find the meanings of new words. Each of the
three components of reading is equally important.

SOME TIPS IN TEACHING READING

Understanding the organization and meaning of text and instruction in both phonics and
literature is essential to helping young children read. By understanding the prerequisite
skills for reading, teachers can build a solid foundation for their students to learn and
succeed in school. Here are some ways to create appreciation of the written word,
develop awareness of printed language, teach the alphabet, develop phonological and
phonemic awareness, teach the relation of sounds and letters, teach children how to sound
out words and to spell words, and help children develop fluent, reflective reading.
