A holistic approach to arousing students’ interest in reading: Application of “Reading Circles”

Background
Teachers in the school found that it was very difficult to promote reading.  The passages in the textbook were the major source of reading materials.  Students were neither motivated to read nor could their reading skills be developed.

Strategy used
To address these issues, Reading Circles were used to
1.  encourage students to read more extensively, short stories in particular
2.  help students develop a sense of responsibility for their own learning through assigning different roles to them (Discussion Leader, Summariser, Word Master and Passage Person)
3.  develop students’ ability to conduct simple discussion tasks about the characters and the plot of short stories. it was hoped that by stretching students’ interest in reading, enriching their vocabulary and developing their integrative language skills, a better foundation could be built at an early stage to prepare them for both the Core and Elective Parts of the New Senior Secondary (NSS) curriculum.
