>Another important teacher´s task is teaching the

>a specific reading lesson.There are so many reading strategies which could encourage the learners to be aware of what they are doing and the reason about that, while they are reading,such as: analyzing, predicting,
>scanning, skimming, summarizing.

Moreover,the work with the vocabulary has also an important
>role in the development of reading.

Summarizing, students need opportunities to develop a
