Reading Literacy

Reading and Literacy skills are vital for the ability to function, contribute and develop in today’s society. The acquisition of these skills are relatively easy for some children, however, there is a significant proportion of learners who experience difficulty with reading process. This project discuss about the development of reading skill and its practical implementation in school level (KG to Grade XII). This project has two parts; Lead to Read and Read to Lead and three stages. DEAR, LAS-Pro-CAH-SASL, READ Learning to read is a complex process. Lead to read is the first part in which we use “Whole Language “approach. In this stage consideration will be given to the aspects of phonemic awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary and comprehension that contribute to successful reading interventions. Second part is read to lead. It is an advanced level of reading which helps the children to lead today’s society.

 

Reading Literacy doesn’t mean that reading a text; instead it includes listening, comprehending, interpreting and creating. Second part of the project Read to Lead includes the development of interpreting and creating skill through critical appreciation.
