Description
Reading is a vital language skill at all levels, and a key component in all examinations. Successful and effective readers are independent readers who have many different reading strategies at their disposal, and are aware of the type of reading that a particular text or situation demands. A Practical Guide to Teaching Reading Skills at All Levels provides MFL teachers with: practical guidance on how to develop a range of effective reading strategies; example reading activities in French, German and Spanish; advice on how to raise reading awareness and confidence in students; tips on how to support students' reading in the classroom; and lists of useful morphological trends in French, German and Spanish.
