SILENT READING
WHAT IS SILENT READING?

˃ 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.
Importance of Silent Reading

Reading silently improves students’ understanding

because it helps them concentrate on what they are
reading, rather than the pronunciation od individual
words. When we read silently, we can form mental
pictures of the topic being read and discussed. Also,
we do not need to read one word at a time.
Benefits of Silent Reading

1.Improvement in study,
2.It’s improves the reading ability,
3.Improving in thinking skills,
4.It’s for all types of students,
5.It is for the higher education system.
6.Improves the students reading skills.
PRECAUTIONS

1.Only those passages should be read which can be

understood and appreciated by students.
2.The duration of the silent reading should differ
according to the nature of the matter and the
standard of the class.
3.The weak students should be paid more attention.
The paragraph for reading should not be long.
4. Necessary instructions must be given
before silent reading.

5. The teacher should be particular about

giving students task of wide reading by
gradually selecting fresh and unseen
paragraph.
ADVANTAGES
● It saves time because it is quick.
● It saves energy also.
● It initiates self- education and deep study.
● It develops the ability to read with interest.

According to ‘Ryborn’ “It enables attention and

energy to be concentrated on meaning and to saves
a division of resulting in a greater assimilation of
information.
LIMITATIONS
● It is not advantageous for beginners.
● It is also uninteresting.
● Sometimes students cannot understand some parts of
the passage, but they cannot take the help of teachers.
● The mistakes done by the students during silent reading
can not be corrected.
● It does not teach correct pronunciation.
● It cannot be checked if students are really reading.
READING ALOUD
 Reading aloud demonstrates the relationship
between the printed word and meaning- children
understand and print tells a story or conveys information-
invites the listener into a conversation with the author.

Reading aloud means just that-reading aloud. When we

read aloud to students, we engage them in texts that they
might not be able to read. In the process, we expand their
imaginations, provide new knowledge, support language
acquisition, build vocabulary, and promote reading as a
worthwhile, enjoyable activity.
Why it is important?
● The single most important activity you can do to build the knowledge students require for
eventual success in reading is read aloud to them. (Anderson et al. 1985)

● Students can listen on a higher language level than they can read, so reading aloud makes
complex ideas more accessible to students and exposes them to vocabulary and language pattern
that are not part of their everyday speech. This, in turn, helps students understand the structure
of books when they read independently (Fountas and Pinnell 1996).

● Reading aloud is the foundation for literacy development. It is the single most important ctivity
for reading success (Neuman, Copple, and Bredekamp 2000)

● the reader’s pauses and emphases allow students to better understand the phrasing and
fluency of the language and to hear new vocabulary and the way the words are used (Fountas and
Pinnell 1996).

● listening to others read helps students develop key understanding and skills, such as an
appreciation for how a story is written and familiarity with book conventions, such as “once upon
a time and happily ever after” (Neuman et al. 2000).
Advantages of Reading Aloud
1.Develop 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.
PROCEDURE
1.Select a Text
2.When doing a read aloud, it is best if all students have a
copy of the text so that they can follow along.
3.Read-alouds can be structured “popcorn style”.
As soon as one students stops reading, another student
can begin.
4. Teachers can assign students a section of the text to read
as homework
5. Pause for Comments
CHORAL READING
What is Choral Reading?

Choral reading is a literacy technique that

helps students build their fluency, self- confidence,
and motivation in reading. During choral reading a
students, or a group of students reads a passage
together, with or without a teacher. Choral reading
can be done individually, in small groups, or as a
whole class.
Types of Choral Reading

1. ANTIPHONAL
●Divide the group into groups and assign parts of the text to each
group.
● Give students an opportunity to practice how they will read
before bringing them back together to chorally read together.

2. DIALOGUE
● Select a text that contains different speaking parts.
● Assign the part of the narrator to one group and each character
to other groups.
3. CUMULATIVE CHORAL READING
● the number of students reading gradually builds as the
text is read. An individual or small group reads the first
line of section of a passage, and then they are joined by
another group.

4. IMPROMPTU CHORAL READING

● as a text is read, students join in or fade out as they
choose. Some students may choose to highlight certain
words or sections of the text, read every other line, or
the whole section.
Why use choral reading?
● It can provide less skilled readers the opportunity to
practice and receive support before being required to
read on their own.

● It provides a model for fluent readings as students

listen.

● It helps improve the ability to read sight words.

How to use Choral Reading
1. Choose a book or passage that works well for reading aloud as a group:
● patterned or predictable (for beginning readers)
● not too long; and
● is at the independent reading level of most students

2. Provide each students a copy of the text so they may follow along.

3. Read the passage or story aloud and model fluent reading to the students.

4. Ask the students to use a marker or finger to follow along with the text as
they read.

5. Reread the passage and have all students in the group read the story or
passage aloud in unison.
Examples of Choral Reading inside the Classroom:
● Groups of students take turns reading different pages

● Everyone in the class reads the whole passage together

● Boys read lines 1-3, and girls read lines 4-6

● Teacher models how to read a sentence, then the

students read that sentence together.
