The skill of reading is often bypassed but it is an important skill. All our lives we deal
with the written word. Often we miss the implications they carry.
This unit, the first workshop, encourages your child to get back into the habit of reading intelligently.
We get familiar with pieces of writing, and read them aloud with the right expression.
This strengthens the understanding and use of language. We explore our own understanding of what we are reading.
Comprehension takes on a new meaning. It is to do with building our own opinions of what we read. It is the first
step to sharpening the skill of interpretation.
Books are usually boring because we have never learnt how to read them. We take a look at the skill of visualizing
the things we read. Then we learn how to communicate
this to an audience. |
