Mistakes and How to correct them 
1.
In recent years, language teaching methodologists have gained a
greater appreciation of the nature of the reading skill. They have come to 
understand that in fact it is not a single monolithic skill. Rather it is a 
behaviour which is made up of a large number of component skills 
sometimes referred to as microskills. These range from such foundational 
skills ass the ability to recognise the letters of the alphabet and to match 
spoken words and sentences with their written representation, to quite 
sophisticated skills such as skimming a piece of writing to gain a general 
idea of its content, or evaluating a text for its general tone or bias. 
Methodologists have also come to believe that the types of reading 
done in the language classroom should reflect the many uses to which 
reading is put in real life. You use reading not only for study purposes but 
also for daily living. You read not just novels, essays, and poetry, but also 
newspapers, instruction manuals and the labels on the products you buy 
in the supermarket. Thinking of this variety of reading tasks, you can see 
that different tasks require different approaches. For maximum efficiency, 
students must be taught to vary their approach to suit the purpose of their 
reading. 
Reading is one of the main skills that a pupil must acquire in the 
process of mastering a foreign language in school. The syllabus for 
foreign language lists reading as one of the leading language activities to 
be developed. It runs: By the end of the course pupils must be able to read 
easy texts of social-political contents, popular-science and fiction. In 
learning to read they should acquire skills in skimming and searching 
reading. 
Therefore reading is in one of the practical aims of teaching a 
foreign language in schools. Reading is of great educational importance, 
as reading is a means of communication, people get information they 
need from books, journals, magazines, newspapers, etc. Through reading 
in a foreign language the pupil enriches his knowledge of the world

around him. He gets acquainted with the countries where the target 
language is spoken. 
Reading develops pupils’ intelligence. It helps to develop their 
memory, will, imagination. Reading ability is , therefore, not only of 
great practical, but educational, and social importance, too. 
Reading is not only an aim in itself, it is also a means of learning a 
foreign language. When reading a text the pupil reviews sounds and 
letters, vocabulary and grammar, memorises the spelling of words, the 
meaning of words and word combinations. The more the pupil reads the 
better his retention of the linguistic material is. Reading helps them to 
acquire speaking and writing skills as well.
Reading is, therefore both an end to be attained and a means to 
achieve that end.
