Reading as an articulating axis and practices involving Educational Technologies

If you've read my last post, you know I'm very into writing. But reading has always been an even more serious matter for me. My dad and I read together every night before I went to sleep until I was 6 or 7 years old. This is a core memory for me since that's when my love for books began. ⚡

When I started taking English classes at a language institution, I absolutely hated it! I thought about giving up uncountable times. It was only when books were introduced in the classes that I felt like I could learn the language.

From that point on, I never stopped reading in Portuguese and in English. At school, my English teacher used a technique called "skimming" to help us read and learn vocabulary in English. I stick to that strategy until nowadays when teaching my students, it's great!

The textbooks my English teacher at school used had a really good match with BNCC, from what I can remember. Looking back, I'm able to identify many similarities such as critical reading. During our English classes at school we discussed themes like grafitti, and were able to give our own factual opinions about it.

BNCC defines the reading axis in the English language in two simple parts: reading for research and reading for general meaning. Inside these competencies, many other abilities are required, and are to be developed by the students and their teacher.

Reading is still a huge part of my life, and my current and past students have been benefiting positively from this interest of mine. I'm excited to learn more about how to teach the reading axis, and BNCC has been helping my learning process a lot.

To help other teachers looking for resources to use in their classes, and thinking about BNCC's directions, I've decided to suggest the Oxford Bookworms books. They are leveled to the student's fluency level and are fitting for beginners, intermediate, and advanced students. You can find them as PDFs online, or on Oxford's official website:
