POOR READING HABITS
1. Reading one word at a time

2. Regression

3. Tracing the words with your fingers

4. Vocalization
READING ONE WORD AT A TIME
Some students tend to focus on one word at a time, especially when they trace words with the index finger.
This makes them read much slower. Try reading groups of words.
TRACING WORDS WITH THE INDEX FINGER

Using your index finger to trace each word on every line that is being read is a poor reding habit.
VOCALIZATION
This is when you start pronouncing the words out loud as you read. Read with your eyes and mind to
capture vital information.
REGRESSION
Having to repeat yourself when speaking could be tiring. So also is going back to read the same sentence,
paragraph or passage again because your attention is divided.
LET’S MEET OUR NEW FRIENDS MARIA, JEREMY AND PETER

Let’s meet our new friends Maria, Jeremy and Peter. Maria has short brown hair and she is nine years
old. Maria’s school bag is purple and her shoes are pink. Jeremy is eight years old and has small eyes
and a big head. Jeremy’s school bag is blue and his pants are blue too. Peter is nine years old and has
curly black hair.

Peter has got a basketball, green shorts and a gray shirt.


Maria can swim, can dance and can sing but she can’t ride a bike. Jeremy
can climb, can roller-skate, and can ride a bike but he can’t play
the piano. Peter can run fast, can draw, can do karate but he
can’t drive a car.
