Reading lesson sequences

Teachers use 'extensive reading' in classrooms as a tool to develop all sorts of skills in students, but this does not mean that there is only one way to do so. On the contrary, the best way to read in classroom is under certain 'sequences', this is, skimming the readings to get the whole meaning, so students can discuss about it, then give them questions to answer, this will make them scan the reading in order to get specific information, or they can just read the text that's going to be followed up by an activity. These are just examples of what we can accomplish from one reading, we can create are own sequences, in order to fulfill the learning objectives.

Reflection:

This is a great way to obtain so much from just one reading, I think is just wonderful, I hope to be able to be up to date all the time, and see if we can do good use of 'extensive reading' in my own classrooms (that is if I ever become a teacher). I guess I will have to experiment a lot, to get to know what activities, strategies and readings are suitable for our local situation.
