HOW TO DEVELOP READING AND WRITING SKILLS?

FOR READING SKILLS:

Skimming

 It is a fast reading process to get the general information of a passage. During


skimming, student must underline the nouns, starters and conjunction in order to
make it easy to pick out the general idea and concepts.

Scanning

 It is done for grabbing the specific information of the passage. Underlying the text
for picking up dates, years, names, important vocabulary.
Intensive reading

 You take time to read a text carefully to find out the author’s perspective, to search
for abstract concepts, to find out hidden answers, and to synthesize the text as a
whole. This type of reading comes easily and constant practice of all the strategies
put together.

FOR WRITING SKILLS:

Planning ideas logically

 Planning carefully helps learners arrange text in logical sequence that flows well and is
easy to read.
 The beginning should feel like the start of a text that gets the reader interested. Each
“piece” of text should lead naturally into the next one. And of course the end should feel
like it finishes all.

Writing accurately

 When writing is done concisely, it means the most effective words are being used. Writers
often fill sentences with words that are poor choices and can be removed or replaced.
By getting feedback, editing and revising their writing after a day or two, learners can
develop skills to notice words that should not be in the text.

Paragraphing

 It effectively helps readers to follow a piece of writing. In general, each paragraph has its
own idea. A big block of text without a paragraph can leave readers confused and
annoyed.
