Whole-Class Instruction. Spark conversation and captivate your students. You should have written F for every question in both questionnaires! If you marked some answers T, then you may need to learn more about reading.

In Advanced Reading Power, you will discover more about the reading process and will have opportunities to re-evaluate your ideas about reading. Then form a group of two to four students and compare your answers. Looking back at your childhood, what do you remember as your first reading experiences?

What kinds of reading material did your parents have in the house when you were young? Do you remember having books or other materials read to you as a child? If so, what did you like best? When you were able to read on your own, what did you enjoy reading? Did your parents or other members of the family like to read? If so, what did they read? What kind of reading is important in your life today? For example, do you read a lot for school or for your job?

About how many hours a week do you usually read materials of your own choice magazines, newspapers, novels, nonfiction? Do you have a favorite writer in your first language? A favorite book?

What books have you read in English? If you could easily read anything in English, what would you like to read? Would you like to. If you answered yes to these questions, then extensive reading is for you. You will benefit most from extensive reading if you follow these three essential rules: Rule 1: Enjoy! Rule 2: Enjoy!

Then go to a bookstore or library to see what is available. How to Choose a Book 1. Choose a book that interests you. Your teacher and classmates may have good suggestions, but choose the book that is best for you, not for them.

Choose a full-length book, not a collection of articles or stories. Reading a whole book by a single author allows you to become comfortable with the writer's style and vocabulary. Avoid a book whose story you are already familiar with because you have read it in another language or have seen the movie made from it.

Knowing what will happen may make it less interesting for you. Evaluate the book. To find out about the author and the genre type of book , read the front and back covers. Read the first few pages, to find out about the style and subject.

Check the level of difficulty. If a book is too easy, it may be boring; if it is too difficult, you may become discouraged and stop reading. To find out how difficult the book is for you, count the number of unknown key words on a typical page. A key word is a word you must know in order to follow the general meaning. Five unknown key words on one page means the book is difficult for you. No unknown key words means the book is easy. Decide how many books you would like to read during the semester.

Set a time and place for reading. Read for at least thirty minutes at a time so that you can become involved in your book. Write about your reactions to the book or any thoughts that are stimulated by your reading.

Then make an appointment with your teacher for a book conference to share your thoughts and reactions to it. What matters most is that you find a book at an appropriate level that interests you. Note: The number of pages is included to give you an idea of the approximate length. Other editions may be of slightly different length. Achebe, Chinua.

Write any unfamiliar words that made comprehension difficult and write their dictionary definitions. Compare your words with those of another student. Do you have any of the same words? Discuss the article with another student.

Consider these questions. Where does the writer tell you what this article is about? What do you already know about this? Were there any parts of the article that you did not understand?

Read the article again. Then discuss these questions with a group of three or four students. Why does the writer believe that the Internet is not the death of the Post Office? Do you agree with the writer? Why or why not? What evidence does the writer give to support his ideas? How do you use the post office? Do you ever buy things over the Internet?

Before you read, discuss these questions with another student. Have you ever heard of this author? Have you read any of his stories or books or seen movies made from them?

Do these titles help you to guess what kind of fiction Bradbury writes? Think about the title of this story, "All Summer in a Day," and try to imagine what the title might refer to. Guess what type of story this will be. Read the story all the way to the end. Mark any confusing parts of the story with a question mark? Make notes in the margin about your reactions. Then complete the exercises that follow. All Summer in a Day Ready? Will it happen today, will it? It rained.

It had been raining for seven years; thousands upon thousands of days compounded and filled from one end to the other with rain, with the drum and gush of water, with the sweet crystal fall of showers and the concussion of storms so heavy they were tidal waves come over the islands. A thousand forests had been crushed under the rain and grown up a thousand times to be crushed again.

And this was the way life was forever on the planet Venus, and this was the schoolroom of the children of the rocket men and women who had come to a raining world to set up civilization and live out their lives.

They were all nine years old, and if there had been a day, seven years ago, when the sun came out for an hour and showed its face to the stunned world, they could not recall. She knew they thought they remembered a warmness, like a blushing in the face, in the body, in the arms and legs and trembling hands. But then they always awoke to the tatting drum, the endless shaking down of clear bead necklaces upon the roof, the walk, the gardens, the forests, and their dreams were gone.

All day yesterday they had read in class about the sun. About how like a lemon it was, and how hot. And they had written small stories or essays or poems about it: I think the sun is a flower, That blooms for just one hour. That was Margot's poem, read in a quiet voice in the still classroom while the rain was falling outside. But that was yesterday.

Now the rain was slackening, and the children were crushed in the great thick windows. Margot stood alone. She was a very frail girl who looked as if she had been lost in the rain for years and the rain had washed out the blue from her eyes and the red from her mouth and the yellow from her hair.

She was an old photograph dusted from an album, whitened away, and if she spoke at all her voice would be a ghost. Now she stood, separate, staring at the rain and the loud wet world beyond the huge glass. Margot said nothing. But she did not move; rather she let herself be moved only by him and nothing else. They edged away from her, they would not look at her. She felt them go away. And this was because she would play no games with them in the echoing tunnels of the underground city.

If they tagged her and ran, she stood blinking after them and did not follow. When the class sang songs about happiness and life and games her lips barely moved. Only when they sang about the sun and the summer did her lips move as she watched the drenched windows.

And then, of course, the biggest crime of all was that she had come here only five years ago from Earth, and she remembered the sun and the way the sun was and the sky was when she was four in Ohio. And they, they had been on Venus all their lives, and they had been only two years old when last the sun came out and had long since forgotten the color and heat of it and the way it really was. But Margot remembered. But she remembered and stood quietly apart from all of them and watched the patterning windows.

And once, a month ago, she had refused to shower in the school shower rooms, had clutched her hands to her ears and over her head, screaming the water mustn't touch her head. So after that, dimly, dimly, she sensed it, she was different and they knew her difference and kept away. And so, the children hated her for all these reasons of big and little consequence. They hated her pale snow face, her waiting silence, her thinness, and her possible future.

And what she was waiting for was in her eyes. Is it? But this is the day, the scientists predict, they say, they know, the sun. They surged about her, caught her up and bore her, protesting, and then pleading, and then crying, back into a tunnel, a room, a closet, where they slammed and locked the door.

They stood looking at the door and saw it tremble from her beating and throwing herself against it. They heard her muffled cries. Then, smiling, they turned and went out and back down the tunnel, just as the teacher arrived. Are we all here? They crowded to the huge door. The rain stopped. It was as if, in the midst of a film concerning an avalanche, a tornado, a hurricane, a volcanic eruption, something had, first, gone wrong with the sound apparatus, thus muffling and finally cutting off all noise, all of the blasts and repercussions and thunders, and then, second, ripped the film from the projector and inserted in its place a peaceful tropical slide which did not move or tremor.

The world ground to a standstill. The silence was so immense and unbelievable that you felt your ears had been stuffed or you had lost your hearing altogether. The children put their hands to their ears. They stood apart. The door slid back and the smell of the silent, waiting world came in to them. The sun came out.

It was the color of flaming bronze and it was very large. And the sky around it was a blazing blue tile color. And the jungle burned with sunlight as the children, released from their spell, rushed out, yelling, into the springtime.

You wouldn't want to get caught out! It was a nest of octopi, clustering up great arms of flesh-like weed, wavering, flowering in this brief spring. It was the color of rubber and ash, this jungle, from the many years without sun. It was the color of stones and white cheeses and ink, and it was the color of the moon.

The children lay out, laughing, on the jungle mattress, and heard it sigh and squeak under them, resilient and alive. They ran among the trees, they slipped and fell, they pushed each other, they played hide-and-seek and tag, but most of all they squinted at the sun until tears ran down their faces, they put their hands up to that yellowness and that amazing blueness and they breathed of the fresh, fresh air and listened and listened to the silence which suspended them in a blessed sea of no sound and no motion.

They looked at everything and savored everything. Then, wildly, like animals escaped from their caves, they ran and ran in shouting circles.

They ran for an hour and did not stop running. And then— In the midst of their running one of the girls wailed.

Everyone stopped.
