Teaching reading skill in the EFL classroom in Nepal and other countries with similar contexts is often a teacher-dominant phenomenon. Allowing and facilitating learners to take charge of the interactions with the text cannot only make lessons more interesting but prepare the learners to be in a position to develop independent reading skills for real life situations. This lesson illustrates the teaching of reading in which learners are actively engaged in the whole process while the teacher facilitates the process.Journal of NELTA, Vol. 22, No. 1-2, 2017 December, Page: 143-146

Fourth, the teaching of reading skills has the following steps: Providing readable texts for students to read in secret or in public, appropriate for the available study times. Dialog about the content of the read. When the teacher wanted to explain the rules, the teacher does the shortest explanation, because the focus in teaching reading is to provide read texts, and read them secretly or publicly. The teacher provides an explanation of difficult vocabulary, or problem terms in students. At the end of the meeting, the teacher gives assignments about the content of the reading, such as summarizing the material, assigning the subject, or other assignments.

This paper provides evidence for an approach to the teaching of reading in the mid nineteenth century that gave children practice in reading handwritten texts. It focuses on two French readers that were originally published in Paris around 1840. In both publications passages of text appear in different forms of writing and become progressively more cursive and less legible. The intention was to introduce children to the varied forms of handwriting they would meet in real-life situations, particularly in commerce. The technical developments that made it practicable to produce such books, especially transfer lithography, are discussed, as are the publications themselves. It is suggested that there might be value in adopting a similar approach to teaching reading by introducing children to material set in the wide range of types and with the varied spacing commonly found today.
