When reading this part of the ppt, I thought of word order especially when I read the phrase, understanding relations between sentences and paragraphs. As in, if a student can understand the place of different parts of speech in a sentence he can further understand sentences in a paragraph and paragraphs in an essay. So, he firstly reads at a grammatical-logical level, and afterwards the meaning of words has to be deduced from context or the teacher hands Ss a list of opposites. I think that these 2 activities should accompany a reading comprehension text.

  1. The way we read depends on the purpose. We sometimes read the beginning and the ending of a sentence or only several words on a page, if what we are interested in is information. There is also intensive reading, when we focus on author's intention and figurative meaning and collocations.

  2. For instance, when teaching literature? William Golding, lord of the flies, the meaning of the conch, the fire, the dead pilot. These have a totally different usage in the novel - the fire doesn t keep the boys warm but it functions as a signal fire, a means of getting back to civilization, escape savagery - the jungle.
