  11. *Pre-reading It is a few minutes activity that aims at activating the learners knowledge of the word since understanding of any thing is the responsibility of the author &the reader. The following methods could be used to achieve this objective:. 1.Brain-storming about the topic of the activity or a similar one.

  12. Continue: 2.Questioning about the topic of the activity or a similar one. 3.Picture reading of the topic or a similar one. • *While reading 1-While books are closed ,instruct the learners that they are going to read a passage about a and so----”the text topic”. 2.Get Ss to open their books at page”---”,make sure that they opened them at the required page. 3.Read the unit title ,title of the activity &textbook instructions on how to deal with the activity. Make sure that they understand, you could ask them for its Arabic

You could pause the recording to find if the Ss follow the recording properly. 6.Get Ss read the text silently &quickly to find answers for the pre-text questions. If these are not existed, please develop very easy questions, put them on the board &instruct Ss to find the answers. 7.When Ss finish the silent reading ,get them discuss their answers of the questions &then say them loudly.
