15、ents reading comprehensionwe read for a number of different reasons. generally speaking, there are two main reasons for reading: reading for pleasure; reading for information. 2 reading is not one process. we should not read everything at the same speed and in the same way. there are sub-skills invo

16、lved in reading .different reading materials require different speeds and techniques. reading is not just looking at words. it is an active skill, which constantly involves questing, predicting, checking and asking oneself questions. in english examinations, reading comprehension accounts for high p

23、hort enough to give the students a sense of achievements when they have finished the reading. 2.1.2 emotional language“emotion can inspire passion , it is difficult to have interest and motivation without passion.”4 the teachers passion can inspire, conduct and maintain the students studying passion

24、. without putting emotion, it is very hard to tap the students good studying potential. so the teachers should make good use of their emotion influence, color the knowledge and information with emotion and make classes in a healthy, harmony, warm and responsible atmosphere. actually, the communicati

25、on between teachers and students in the class is not only the knowledge impartment but also the emotion impartment by the teachers behavior and expression in their eyes. the teachers should take good advantage of gesture language to make the class in a comfortable, harmony and happy atmosphere, and

33、and pictures, look at the words to do things and so on to cultivate students' preliminary reading habit. in the end of each unit's study, lit the students do some activities like reading words while fill colors in the figures. this all can help students' to foster reading habit .in the b

34、eginning, students will have some difficulties to finish the exercises, so teachers can instruct students find answers in the book themselves rather than speak the words out directly. when learning a new unit, teachers can intentional let the students put word cards and pictures together to do exerc

36、 passages to help the students form preliminary reading sense. and then assign the students long-term reading tasks after class. teachers can enjoy the wonderful passages with students in the class, in order to raise students' reading interest.2.2.2.1 silent reading reading is a silent and indiv

37、idual activity since that the writer's intention was that the text should be read not heard. when reading, some students are accustomed to send out the pronunciation of each word .some students do not read out the words, but in their inner word, they still think aloud and read word by word. this

38、 reading habit reduces the speed of reading .regarding this, teachers should request students to cultivate silent reading habit. silent reading is pass the visual organ directly sensate the writing marks and only pause the attention on the writing marks, avoid lip-reading or read aloud in a low voic

39、e, in order to avoid the disperser and reduce the reading speed. correct silent reading, the speed can quicken compared to read the words out.2.2.2.2 phrase by phrase reading word for word reading pays excessively attention on the words. it not only influences reading speed, but also not easy to hol

41、ocabulary can influence each other. vocabulary will directly or indirectly influence the students reading .reading can help to solidify and enlarge vocabulary, enrich language knowledge and improve managing language ability. in addition, reading has effects on thinking、comprehension and judgmen

42、t. now the middle school students have a small quantity of words through they have learnt some in the primary school. if you want to widen their reading knowledge you should expand their quantity of words first. because the vocabulary is the basic unit and the foundation of language just as the bric

43、ks of a mansion. improving english is mostly up to expand the quantity of word. some students cant understand the texts and the teacher due to a small quantity of words. they lose confidence and interest to study english. therefore to expand vocabulary is the important foundation of improving readin

46、rds of article. the purpose of reading skill exercise is to improve reading speed, but the right comprehension is prior to speed. the speed doesnt make any sense if there isnt accurate understanding. the effective method of cultivate scanning is avoid speaking out while read. lots of students have a

47、 bad habit to speak out while read. whatever they read, they always speak it out. this may not only influent the reading speed directly, but also will be fatigue easily. the teachers should tell the importance of scanning, gradually cultivate the students vision reading ability and then enhance the

48、reading speed. the great poet dufu in tang dynasty said that” you can write excellent articles quickly if you have read ten thousand books.” read more, practice more, use more and pay attention to analyzing and accumulation is the only way to improving english reading ability. there is a proverb in

49、english: one cannot succeed without perseverance. you cant cultivate and improve reading overnight. it takes time to work hard and then improve step by step. during this process, peruse and extensive reading are the same important. it is impossible to widen knowledge and improve reading speed if onl

52、 then enhance reading comprehension. 2.3.3 guessing the meaning of word in reading, the students feel headaches if there are many new words in the reading material，or if they can not understand the materials at all, even when there are few new words in it. but it is impossible that student

53、s know all the words in reading. so guess the meaning of words in the context is a very important studying strategy in studying english words. the teacher should teach the students to guess the meaning of new word according to the contexts and dont be nail-biting at the sight of new words. there are several meanings of one word in english, when meet this kind of words, the teacher should instruct students to conclude and summariz
