Recognise/match words to words they already know the meaning of
Understand the intended and inferred message
Decode words Compare and integrate the information with
their own knowledge and prior experience Apply the new knowledge or skills to their
context/personal needs 14

How can we build reading skills?
we’ll cover…
Get started building reading skills—a checklist
Prepare Be aware of the learners’ needs Be aware of the task demand Check Ask learners what they know about the skill Deliver Outline the session structure Expose how the foundation skill relates to the
task
Name the key purpose or skill Explain why the skill will be relevant Explain what the skill links to Use the ACSF/CSfW language.

Covered in multiple webinars
How can we build reading skills?
Prepare to read Describe the pattern or flow of the text Provide background to the topic to understand key
information Discuss the text content, in general terms Summarise, in general terms Ask and respond to
‘What do you know about…’ questions

Effective readers use…
&
Build learners’ vocabulary
How can we build reading skills? – example
Cover orthographic skills—e.g.– Identify this as a compound word work + place
- We have seen ‘work’ before – work skills, work performance- Place looks like pace – the pace of work necessary to complete the task
Cover phonological skills—e.g.– Point out ‘or’ in workplace sounds like ‘er’’ as in her, not ‘or’ as in
ore– Point out ‘c’ in workplace sounds like ‘S’
We know this because when the letter ‘c’ is followed by an ‘e’, the ‘c’ makes an ‘s’ sound. 20
If introducing the word, ‘workplace’
How can we build reading skills?
Teach skimmingShow learners sections to read: Title Introduction / first paragraph First sentence of every other
paragraph Headings / subheadings / charts /
graphs / highlighted key points Note words that stand out—e.g.
bold or italic Summary/conclusion 21
SkimmingSkimming helps leaners:• Identify the most
important information• Digest relevant
information when they have lots to read in a limited time
• Decide which text is best for the purpose.
While reading—teach explicit reading strategies
How can we build reading skills?
Teach scanningSuggest these strategies to learners: Anticipate what they are looking
for and the clues that may help to locate what is required
Search for Key words / phrases Read selectively—skip through
unhelpful sections.22
ScanningScanning helps leaners find a particular piece of information
Here’s another reading strategy you can teach…
How can we build reading skills?
Activities that push learners back to the text:
23
Create opportunities for the learner to return to the text
After reading
Philippa McLeanACER NALLNAC Conference
2015
Push them back to the text.
Explain/Justify/Predict Discuss/interact Develop an opinion Present/Role play with specific focus Solve problems/find solutions Analyse/Link/similarities/differences
How can we use technology?
24
Use technology to build reading skillsTools: Blogs / Micro-blogs – reading / commenting Social media sites Audio books – reading and listening BBC Skillswise
Techniques: Providing text for audio/video content (and visa versa) Recording yourself read out aloud and playing back (MP3 / audio recorder
app) Images which make sense of the text Chunking information (Powerpoint slides, eBooks)
