example to convey the meaning easily. Sometimes the MST acts for students to get the
meaning of the words and use a technology in the class room to support her lesson.

Consider different reading approaches have you observed?

One day of each week the teacher reads a book with students so, the teacher does a
shared reading once a week. The students set on the carpet around the teacher and she
is setting in the middle front of them. Before starting reading the book the teacher asks
some questions to students about the book, cover page and pictures. this mean that a
teacher applies pre-reading strategies.
Another type of reading is silent reading the student read every day a book individual in
his place. The students read same book everyday by themselves without help. The
teacher let the students to use a if they dictionary find a new word they can to get a
meaning for it.
