Objectives:
1. Identify the kinds/ types of
reading
2. Differentiate recreational
reading from remedial
reading
3. Give the importance of
reading
Recreational Reading, also
known as leisure reading,
pleasure reading, free
voluntary reading, and
independent reading, self-
selected reading of a
continuous text for a wide
range of personal and social
purposes.
 Recreational reading is for
everyone
 Can take place with any setting,
school, home, outside etc.
 Materials may take in many forms
including fiction, nonfiction, e-
books, newspapers, magazines,
social media, biographies, comic
books, graphic novels.
 In classrooms, leisure reading
often takes place during times
designated as SSR (Sustained Silent
Reading) DEAR (Drop Everything And
Read) LTR (Love To Read) or POWER
(Providing Opportunities With Every
Reading).
Why is recreational reading
important?
 Studies have shown that reading
for pleasure is an effective way to
manage stress by increasing
enjoyment and relaxation.
 Recreational reading also can
have benefits for your
concentration, vocabulary,
reading and writing skills, and
improving working memory.
Remedial reading is a change in
instruction that helps remedy a
weakness in the area of reading.

Remedial reading refers to

correcting or improving deficient
skills in specific subject.
How can we diagnose the
reading difficulties among
learners?
Reading difficulties may be
revealed by means of
systematic diagnosis. Dechant
pointed out that the heart of
diagnosis is an intelligent
interpretation of the facts.
The diagnotician must posses both
theoritical knowledge and practical
experience.
Also he should know what
questions to ask, what test and
procedures to use to get the
needed facts.
One of the principles in diagnostic
analysis of students is by looking
forward to the causes of the
symptoms of the reading
problem.
The first step in the diagnostic
analysis of children with reading
difficulties is to make a general or
survey diagnostic.
The second is not to compare
expected functioning level as
determine by IQ.
 If comprehension is the
problem, one way to address it is
to make sure to ask plenty of
questions to children.
Another way by which a
teacher can reinforce reading
comprehension is by teaching
proper phonics.
 One way to address the
problem of auditory defect among
children is to advice pupils with
hearing loss to near the source of
the sound.
Retarded readers- they are the
readers whose development of
reading skills is below the normal
performance.
Diagnosing poor readers:
 The act of evaluating the
strengths and weaknesses of
an individual
 Identification of weakness and
strengths
 Testing one’s aptitude and
skills.
Reading difficulties

Congenital auditory defect is

when partial and complete
hearing loss.
Kinetic reversal is a problem in
