This module provides a theoretical overview of the process and skills of second-language reading and practical classroom applications. The learning activities are designed to aid the participant in achieving the following objectives: (a) distinguish the characteristics of three categories of the second-language readers; (b) explain the stages of development in reading; (c) design a teaching activity to combat native-language interference; (d) design a teaching activity for a specific group of Puerto Rican Spanish-speakers based on the premise of language experience, linguistics, programmed instruction, words in color, individualized reading, or Initial Teaching Alphabet (ITA); and (e) design a teaching activity for advanced-level reading. Four learning alternatives are outlined, and provisions for pre- and post-assessment of student mastery of terminal course objectives are included. (PD)
