A. BACK GROUND.
I. WHY CHOOSE THE TOPICS.
Today, the English affirming the role and importanceof it in school, then
raising the quality of teaching is the most important issue.
The reform program is applied, a series of problems for English teaching
method arise. The question is: How student can comprehend the whole
knowledge and use it completely?
Learning English is simply learning the language. Want to be fluent in the
language, the school must practice four basic skills: Listening - Speaking Reading - Writing. In particular, the role of speaking roles alternating decision
learners understand or just read your article content. As early as 6th grade,
school organisms have been acquainted with readings stopped short, easy to
understand. The program has been a higher, more reading skills are required to
exercise stricter. If teachers do not have good teaching methods, not all the
contents of the unit. On the other hand, the content of lessons and new words are
often long, daunting for students.
To meet the requirements of fact, every teacher needs to find an optimal method,
in accordance with the actual situation and to each subject students.
As a teacher direct teaching of English, with a desire to bring his
knowledge to impart to them, and find ways for their own teaching I strongly
contribute to the Scientific Council educational theme this year: "Practicing
Reading Skills effectively for the 8th students in Nga Thuy Secondary
School"
II. RESEARCH PURPOSES.
The purpose of this research topic is to understand the importance of
reading skills in English. From the state of the teaching of reading in English in
junior high school, finding a positive teaching methods suitable for each article,
each subject students
III. STUDY TASK:
- Study of the theoretical basis to teach reading skills in English.
- Research and practical basis of teaching reading skills in English in
junior high school. Since it can be compared with the results obtained after

writing systems of the Vietnamese and English are similar, Chie some very at
different alphabet Z, W, J .... depending on the purpose of the lesson, the teacher
can teach and learn in a different way:
-The reader turns reading (usually applied in the class started school and
for young people)
- The teacher read, students trace paintings, books.
- Students read silently.
In the beginner class in English, students must be familiar with the
combination of letters in the new writing system and based on information
available to understand the meaning of a word, phrase, clause, and sentence
English.
The reading aloud a sentence or an English essay is a difficult task for
Vietnam because English people can not spell as Vietnamese. In addition there
are many other factors affect the reading aloud as stress, rhythm and intonation
because these factors can affect the expression of the meaning of words and
sentences.
In foreign language classes, reading activities are usually organized to
reinforce the earlier practice activities such as listening and speaking activities
such.
The reading in class under the old method is often "forced" because often
the teacher to student assignments done. To teach reading effectively and more
communicative, teachers need preparation phase and make the students feel the
need to read.
The readings should be accurate linguistic richness and diversity of genres,
with relevant content and enriching life experiences of students, inspire. To be
boring to read khongg instructions perform the exercises note reading instruction

These capabilities can be achieved through the practice of reading and
writing activities that students perform. The results quickly or slowly depending
on the background knowledge that students have prior learning the native
language, health and astute in their ability to see and hear.
There are also eight other factors affecting language learning of students
such as: - Students do not have a secondary level of education given often have
difficulty in moving and generalized knowledge. Therefore they should be
thoroughly instructed in reading the printed page so that can increase the interest
in the printed page.
Cavity students often do not respond positively to print multiple pages
thick.

- Students tend to focus efforts on the decoding of words in a new
language, while the limited attention to the interpretation of texts.
- Teachers can anticipate that students will be difficult to read and
understand texts if all documents are not familiar with them.
Experience of students say is used to decode texts vary according to age
and life experience contempt of hungry students with learning languages.
- Reasoning ability, speech and understanding of concepts such as words,
phrases, sentences, sounds and other concepts have a positive impact on the
success of the initial study viech.
- The level of understanding of the types of documents depending on the
age and experience of the students to the culture of the ethnic languages are
learned.
Students wishing to learn a foreign language in the explanation related to
the metaphor of writing, idioms and cultural information about the languages of
ethnic groups have been read more than the biological mother his tongue

III. HOW TO MEASURE AND IMPLEMENTATION
1. The process of teaching reading skills.
In teaching practice can share teaching reading to do the following stages:
a. (Pre - reading)
In this phase the teacher should introduce general topics about to read, use
data related to students' lived experience through a number of activities such as:
Ask questions before and help students predict internal content of the lesson. If
the unit is a dialogue, the teacher might say to the venue conversation, the
number of participants and, if possible, about the relationship between people
(family, friends, acquaintances ... ).
If is an excerpt from a short story, the teacher can give a student a few
points to the main event before.
In some textbooks often in pictures with the unit. Teachers should use
those pictures to the attention of students in reading content by helping them
anticipate ideas and language will be shown in the article. Typically, teachers
just mentioned a few sentences suggest at this stage. These questions represent
the basic structure of the lesson and the means to help students anticipate lesson
content structure, which will be transformed into the text reading more naturally.
Sometimes, teachers can ask students to skim through the article to have some
general idea about the information in the text. By some such activities, teachers
can inspire "want to read" and is for students interested in the topic is about
learning.
Activities in this phase may vary according to the actual situation of the
school and student performance. The teacher can make one or two activities in
this period.
For example: English 8 Unit 9: A first- Aird course
Teacher: You are going to read a text about fist - aid. Look at the pictures (Show
the illustrative pictures on the board)
Can you guess what happened to the people in cases in picture? What do
you call these cases in English?

Little Peas father is ............... After his wife ............ He married again.
The step mother was very ........... toLittle Pea. She had to do chores all day. Her
father was very upset. He soon ........ of a broken heart. In the fall, the village
little Pea didn’t have new clothes. A fairy appcared and magically changed Little
Pea’s rags into ........ As running to the festival, the dropped her ......... The prince
found her shoe and wanted to ............... her.
4. Students give a discussion and personal opinion essay
Example: You are going to read a text about the way learning language. Look at the
pictrures. How do you people learn language? Which is the best way to learn
language?.
5. Predict the meaning of a word or definition of the word in the dictionary
Example: (When teaching more 57 - Unit 9 - A First - aids course - English 8) Teachers can apply to all Bingo tips:
- Ask Ss to give nouns for emergencies which require first – aid and write
them on the board ( burn , cut , beesting , snake bite , fainting , shock , nose
bleed )
- Have Ss choose 4 any 4 words on the board and write them down on a piece of
paper
- Call out the words until someone has ticked all the four words and shouts “Bingo”
6. Teachers can organize games (using words related to the lesson style
Bingo, Questionares, ....)
Example: (When teaching more narrow-minded 68. Unit 11. Traveling around

b. While – reading
In this process, the operation was organized to help students practice
reading comprehension skills; some other reading skills are combined in
fostering reading comprehension skills.
These skills are often used in this phase is focused reading and reading
expansion. Read focus means that the reader must understand all Gida can read
and return to answer detailed questions about words, language and ideas
expressed through literature.
Read expansion means that students understand an overview of all
documents that do not need to understand every word or every attention. The
focus will help familiarize students with better expansion. At the same time,
extended reading also helps students become more confident when exposed to
the text correctly.
For a long reading, teachers can apply extended reading in a few paragraphs
and read to students focusing on other segments. If you let students read essays
focus too long they will lose interest and will not have enough time to practice
reading skills rapidly.
Readings in old textbooks often prepared, selective and restricted to

3. The teacher read a passage, then we read the whole class lessons.
4. A student read each question according to the teacher.
5. Classes are divided into groups of two or more people. Each group will
prepare a piece, then take a representative of the group will read a passage. In
the case of reading a conversation, the group will prepare and cast. Teachers can
discuss with the group difficulty in pronunciation (stress, rhythm and
intonation). Then a certain group will be selected to play a role for the class
monitor.
While reading instruction, teachers will raise a number of questions to
guide students to read and understand the information content of the post, and
also to measure the level of students, from which teachers can explain more
about the details unclear. So the content of the questions should draw the
attention of students to the main idea of the article, and help students understand
the meaning of texts. Do not ask questions too long and too hard to puzzle
students, which raised the question briefly because the main goal is to help
students with reading comprehension.
Teachers should encourage and organizations that participate in class
activities answer the question. Then guide the students to distinguish the correct
answer - wrong.
In this stage, the teacher can organize a class action group - two or more
than two to discuss the answers. In this way, all students must participate in
class activities and answer this activity students will have the opportunity to
work together, discuss and help each other.
Forms answer can be said or written. The answer says it will take less time
and be more teachers apply. But in a crowded classroom, teachers face many
difficulties in controlling all the students have understood all true or not.
Forms written answers will help students have more time to think, easily
organize and check, use of terms are effective in large class. But this method
takes more time. Teachers should encourage students to write short answers for
the purpose of this exercise chie form to check the level of reading
