SILENT READING

In silent reading there is no movement of the lips or the tongue.

But there should be full concentration and the thoughts should not
wonder aimlessly while they are reading silently.

Silent reading provides the opportunity to learn the meanings of many

new words in context

PRECAUTIONS

(i) Only those passages should be read which can be understood and
appreciated by students.

(i) The duration of silent reading should differ according to the nature of
the matter and the standard of the class.

(iii) The weak students should be paid more attention. The paragraph for
reading should not be long.

(v) Necessary instructions must be given before silent reading.

(vi) The teacher should be particular about giving students task of wide
reading by gradually selecting fresh and unseen paragraph.

ADVANTAGES

(i) It saves time because it is quick.

(ii) It saves energy also.

(iii) It initiates sell-education and deep study. (iv) It develops the ability to
read with interest.

According to "Ryborn" "It enables attention and energy to be

concentrated on meaning and so saves a division of attention resulting in
a greater assimilation of information.

LIMITATIONS

(i) It is not advantageous for beginners.

(ii) It is also uninteresting.

(iii) Sometimes students cannot understand some parts of the passage,

but they cannot take the help of teachers.

(iv) The mistakes done by students during silent i can not be concated.

(v) It does not teach correct pronunciation.

 (vi) It cannot be checked if students are really reading.

LOUD READING

In loud reading, the students are to read aloud so that their voice is
audible He should correct the wrong pronunciation immediately and give
a drill of correct pronunciation to the whole class.

There is a controversy on the point whether silent reading-should be

followed by loud reading or vice versa. Morrison is of the opinion that loud
reading by students should be followed by silent reading. just the
opposite of what is practiced generally in our schools.

ADVANTAGES OF LOUD READING

1. Develops stronger vocabulary.

2. Builds connections between the spoken and written word

3. Provides enjoyment.

4. Increases attention span.

5. To enable students to speak English correctly..

6. Provides a safe way of exploring strong emotions.

7. Promotes bonding.

CONCLUSION

In short, all efforts should be made to develop reading habits among the
students. We should create in them a real love according to the genre of
books and their needs i.e. short stories, novel, poem, and others

E. Application
