Unit 6: Reading

Reading is a complex process. When tutors understand the process they are better able to help their learners. Through this unit, tutors will look at the purpose, the process and the components of reading, and at some reading strategies they can use with their learners. In the final sections of this unit, tutors will learn how to determine the reading needs of a learner and what reading strategies might work best for the learner.



Literacy includes reading the world as well as reading the word.
