C. Concept of Teaching Reading
Teaching reading seems to have its own importance in language teaching. Teaching reading usually has at least two aspects. First, who are learning to read
for the very first time. Second, who already have reading skills in their first language.

There are six basic reasons to teach reading: 1 Reading is not passive skill.
2 Students need to be engaged with what they are reading 3 Students should be encouraged to respond the content of reading text
4 Prediction is a major factor in reading. 5 Match the task to the topic.
6 Good teachers exploit reading texts to the full.

an active skill. So, the teacher should encourage the students to respond the content of reading text. And a good teacher should give appropriate task with
topic.
