through demonstration and speech patterns.• Text level should be increased as students master
reading.• Students should aim for perfect intonation and phonetic
levels.• Students should be able to find new information
through reading by a full understanding of the text.• Reading should be done everyday and used to train the
other skills. • The same activities can be used to train reading as are
used to train listening
