The Reading Module for Third-Year Secondary School Students is a comprehensive module aimed at enhancing English language proficiency through a structured progression of reading skills. It begins with foundational skills such as phonemic awareness and phonics, focusing on understanding sounds, blending, segmenting words, and decoding unfamiliar vocabulary. These foundational elements ensure students can build a strong basis for effective reading. The module then transitions to developing comprehension skills, including literal comprehension—identifying main ideas, details, and answering basic questions—and inferential comprehension, where students learn to make predictions, draw conclusions, and interpret text clues. Reading aloud is emphasized to improve fluency, pace, and expression, while prosody helps students grasp rhythm and intonation, fostering more engaging and confident reading habits. In the advanced section, students are encouraged to think critically by evaluating texts, analyzing an author’s purpose, and distinguishing between facts and opinions. Annotation techniques are introduced to enhance note-taking and information retention, and students are guided to make connections between texts, their personal experiences, and broader world contexts. Additionally, they practice summarizing and synthesizing ideas from multiple sources, promoting a deeper and more integrated understanding of reading materials. This module offers a well-rounded approach, preparing students not only for academic success but also for practical application of their English reading skills in diverse contexts. It aligns with the objectives of secondary education, fostering both literacy and critical thinking.
