Reading skills
The main objective of a receptive skills development is not the teaching of more grammar and vocabulary, but the development of the learners´ ability to understand and interpret texts using their existing language knowledge.
We teachers should develop learners’ ability to use their knowledge of context (see Biber, 1988: 28-33; Brown & Yule, 1983a: 35-46) to understand the text. Besides this, we should develop the learners’ ability to use available clues (title, visuals, key lexis etc.) to identify elements of context.
I hope the reading comprehension worksheets I have been preparing for young learners help to achieve these objectives.
