Reading texts is a complex skill that students have to learn at great expense. Developing reading skills is not only an important learning goal in German and in foreign-language subjects; texts are also used in the specialist subjects. Because reading competence is always a prerequisite for professional competence in all subjects. Both are learned together.
This tried and tested volume is aimed at specialist teachers at secondary level. Help your students to gain a deeper understanding of the texts they have read when working on texts in specialist lessons, by building a "reading bridge" for them: Repeated accesses to a text according to different reading styles lead you deeper and deeper into the text. From individual "islands of understanding", the pupils arrive at the most comprehensive possible understanding of the text, step by step.
Josef Leisen's concept leads to an "understanding reading" in six reading steps and enables a confident use of the text. More than 50 selected reading jobs offer basic patterns that you can adapt to your own texts. In this way, you can incorporate factual texts into language-sensitive specialist teaching that promotes understanding.
The volume contains:
Compact representation of the reading process
Background knowledge of reading processes, reading styles and reading strategies
Overview of the obstacles to understanding that have to be overcome when reading the text, as well as tips on how teachers can help
Tried and tested practical suggestions with exemplary reading assignments and practical examples of various textbooks
