What is a global approach to reading?

Reported by: Rea J. Patining

Introduction

• A global reading approach assumes that a person learns to read best when reading begins with natural and meaningful text.

Definition

• A global approach to reading is an approach that begins by giving learners natural, meaningful text to listen to, look at, and memorize by sight.

examples of global reading approaches

1. Do a language experienceapproach activity with the learners

Do a language experience

approach activity with the learners

• A language experience activity is usually an activity that learners do together. It could also be any experience an individual or group has had. After the experience, a teacher or leader helps the learners write about what they have experienced.

Examples

• Taking a trip to an interesting location• Bringing an animal or object to the

classroom to observe and discuss• Inviting a guest to class• Taking a walk and observing the people

and surroundings

2. neurological impress activity

Using a neurological impress activity

BENEFITS:

• Develops reading fluency• Helps impress the words into the learner's

memory• Helps learners imitate correct

pronunciation, intonation, and phrasing• Increases confidence in reading

• Models reading fluency and mechanics• Provides a pleasant, non-threatening

reading experience• Provides immediate feedback and success

in reading

GUIDELINES:

• For best results, do this activity daily over a period of several months.

• Be aware of cultural considerations in a close working relationship such as this requires.

• Try this procedure in nonformal settings where literate people might teach other family members or friends:

• Use texts with words the learner can already read.

Steps: Using a regular size book

1. Sit side by side so that the teacher can speak into the learner's ear.

Tip: Determine which hand the learner writes and eats with and sit on that side of the learner.

2. Jointly hold the book between you.

3. Begin by reading aloud together.

4. Read a little faster and louder than the learner.

5. Track the words smoothly with a finger as you read.

Note: This allows the learner to hear the word just before saying it,

and imitate the intonation and flow of the language.Reported by: Rea J. Patining

5. Occasionally lower the volume of your voice to allow the learner to lead the reading.

6. Help the learner gradually take over tracking by guiding their hand smoothly under the words.

Steps: Using big book or wall chart

Steps: Using a Big book or wall chart

1. Place a large book or chart on an easel so that everyone in the group can see it.

2. Begin by reading aloud together.– Read a little faster and louder than the

learners.– Track the words smoothly with a pointer

as you read.

3. Occasionally lower the volume of your voice to allow the learners to lead the reading.

3. Using shared reading

Guidelines

1. Discuss the story and illustrations with the learners– prior to reading to build anticipation, or– after reading to aid comprehension.

2. Have the learners "hum" to get the feel and intonation of the words.

3. Read fluently and expressively.

1. Select an interesting story with repetition, or use a favorite story.

2. When introducing a new story, talk about– the title– the cover illustration, and– the kind of story.

3. Read the story to the group, tracking each word with a pointer as you read.

4. Reread the story as a group, encouraging everyone to join in "reading" certain words or phrases as they are able.
