Reading and Social Studies

Approaches to reading can be categorized by answer the following three questions: How would a written source benefit students when learning about a certain subject? What are the conditions for the reading activity? How should the reading resource be adapted and contextualized? Teachers need to consider background knowledge when planning instruction. There are three types of forms of reading that teachers can incorporate, silent reading, group reading, and teacher directed reading. Time is the most important factor to consider, and the teacher should give students about 10 to 15 minutes. There are four specific approaches to reading; these are pop-up reading, reading buddies, reading festival, and shadow reading. Pop-up reading is when one students reads and calls on another student to read. This helps students to following along while their peers have turns reading. Reading buddies allow students to use cooperative methods to strengthen reading skills. A reading festival is when one book is taken, for example on Chinese culture and students to and create activities that relate to the book. Shadow reading is when the students read silently and then explain what they just read to a group or another individual. This helps students with reading comprehension.
