INTRODUCTION

1.1BACKGROUND

Reading is an important part of learning English. This guide to how to improve your
reading skills will help you improve reading by using skills you use in your own language. In
other words, one of the best tips on improving reading is to think about how you read in your
own language. Start by thinking about how you read different documents. How do you read
the newspaper? How do you read novels? How do you read train schedules? and so on.
Taking time to think about this will help give you clues on how to read in English - even if
you don't understand every single word.
Ask yourself this question: Do I read every word in your own language when I am
reading a schedule, summary, or other outlining document?
The answer is most definitely: No! Reading in English is like reading in your native
language. This means that it is not always necessary to read and understand each and every
word in English. Remember that reading skills in your native language and English are
basically the same.
Here is a quick overview of the types of reading skills used in every language:
Skimming, Scanning, Previewing, Phrasing Stems And Affixes, Topic, Main Idea, Reading for
Specific Information Reading for Detail, Reference, Inference, Functional Text And Essay
Text.
You can use these reading skills in a number of ways to improve other areas of
English learning such as pronunciation, grammar and increasing vocabulary.

DISCUSSION

2.1 Definition of simple reading

is defined as a cognitive process that involves decoding symbols to arrive at meaning.

Reading is an active process of constructing meanings of words. Reading with a purpose
helps the reader to direct information towards a goal and focuses their attention. Although the
reasons for reading may vary, the primary purpose of reading is to understand the text.
Reading is a thinking process. It allows the reader to use what he or she may already know,
also called prior knowledge. During this processing of information, the reader uses strategies
to understand what they are reading, uses themes to organize ideas, and uses textual clues to
find the meanings of new words. Each of the three components of reading is equally
important. Let's take a look at the component

2.2 Characteristic of simple reading

-Genre/Form:
Genre is the type of text and refers to a system by which fiction and nonfiction texts
are classified. Form is the format in which a genre may be presented. Forms and genres have
characteristic features.
-Structure:
Structure is the way the text is organized and presented. The structure of most
fiction and biographical texts is narrative, arranged primarily in chronological sequence.
Factual
texts are organized categorically or topically and may have sectio
ns with headings. Writers of
factual texts use several underlying structural patterns to provide information to readers. The
most important are description; chronological sequence; comparison and contrast; cause and
effect; and problem and solution. The pr
esence of these structures, especially in combination,
can increase the challenge for readers.
-Content:
Content refers to the subject matter of the text
the concepts that are important to
understand. In fiction, content may be related to the setting or to
the kinds of problems characters
have. In factual texts, content refers to the topic of focus. Content is considered in relation to
the
prior experience of readers.
-Themes and Ideas:
These are big ideas that are communicated by the writer. Ideas may be
Concrate

(3)
and accessible or complex and abstract. A text may have multiple themes or a main
theme and several supporting themes.
Language and Literary Features:
Written language is qualitatively different from spoken

language. Fiction writers use dialogue, fig

urative language, and other kinds of literary structures
such as character, setting, and plot. Factual writers use description and technical language. In
hybrid texts you may find a wide range of literary language.
-Sentence Complexity:
Meaning is mapped on
to the syntax of language. Texts with simpler,
more natural sentences are easier to process. Sentences with embedded and conjoined clauses
make a text more difficult.
-Vocabulary:
Vocabulary refers to words and their meanings. The more known vocabulary words
in a text, the easier a text will be. The individual's reading and vocabulary refer to words that
she
understands.
-Words:
This category refers to recognizing and solving the printed words in the text. The
challenge in a text partly depends on the number
and the difficulty of the words that the reader
must solve by recognizing them or decoding them. Having a great many of the same high
frequency words makes a text more accessible to readers.
-Illustrations:
Drawings, paintings, or photographs accompany the
text and add meaning and
enjoyment. In factual texts, illustrations also include graphics that provide a great deal of
information that readers must integrate with the text. Illustrations are an integral part of high
quality text. Increasingly, fiction t
exts include a range of graphics, including labels, heading,
subheadings, sidebars, photos and legends, charts and graphs. After grade one, texts may
include graphic texts that communicate information or a story in a sequence of pictures and

words.
Book an
-d Print Features:
Book and print features are the physical aspects of the text
what
readers cope with in terms of length, size, and layout. Book and print features also include
tools
like the table of contents, glossary, pronunciation guides, indexes, side
bars, and a variety of
graphic features in graphic texts that communicate how the text is reading

The Ant and the Dove

One hot day, an ant was seeking for some water. After walking around for a moment,
she came to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of grass.
While making her way up, she slipped and fell unintentionally into the water.

She could have sunk if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her. Seeing that the
ant was in trouble, the dove quickly put off a leaf from a tree and dropped it
immediately into the water near the struggling ant. Then the ant moved towards the
leaf and climbed up there. Soon it carried her safely to dry ground.

Not long after at that, there was a hunter nearby who was throwing out his net
towards the dove, hoping to trap it in this way.

Guessing what he should do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain,
the hunter dropped his net and the dove flew away quickly from this net.
The morality: One good turn deserves another.
