							| Hello Mercedes,     I have taught reading at my university, and I consider one of the best methods for teaching reading is using the PDP format.  Every time you are going to introduce a new reading you split your lesson in three important moments:  Pre-Reading, During Reading (or while reading) and Post reading activities.  Using that approach, students have the chance to access prior knowledge and develop a deeper understanding of the written text, besides using the rest of the skills.  Here are some websites that may be useful for you:   Un abrazo from Panama Eva |  10 Nov 2008

							| Hi Mercedes!! Paricularly, I prefer working with books rather than websites. I recommend you the book by Jeremy Harmer, who is an authority in language teachen, �How to Teach English� and �The Practice of English Language Teaching�. And also if you are interested, I have made a summary about teaching reading using those books and �The Tapestry Approach�. If you are interested, this is my e-mail address, write to me and I�ll send you the file.   Best regards,  |  10 Nov 2008
