Teaching and Developing Reading Skills

Supported by insights from research, this accessible book promotes the teaching of reading in a theoretically sound way, moving beyond a comprehension-testing approach. The practical part of the book provides a collection of accessible, generic activities to support and develop learners' reading skills and strategies. Its scope is wide-ranging, from promoting reading and developing fluency, to exploiting literary texts and digital sources, using learner-generated texts, developing critical reading skills and assessing reading.
