INTRODUCTION
TASK 2
Strategies that students can use to improve their reading ability
Students must have the ability to read well and educators expect them to read in learning
so they realize that as they learn, it improves their capacity to think. It is not taught in public
schools, but it is the abilities that the participant should be doing and should concentrate on as
they will influence their development and learning. The reading practice will make them
successful, and then when the student reads on various subjects, the interaction will be stronger.
There are mentioned different strategies for students that use to improve reading ability such as:
Utilize various reading materials: By teaching reading through distinct formats, be
innovative. Books, magazines, tape journals, CDs, and other digital learning can provide several
ways for students to communicate with the content. Have pupils, including a book on tape,
practice reading. When listening to them on the tape, they can learn to see the terms on the
notebook material. Other technology can concentrate a reading activity, along with text-to -
speech apps, into one that students can actually listen to the meaning of the text and vocabulary
without being distracted through their own interpretation (Hagedorn and Kuznetsova, 2016).
Set reading goals: Students do not test personal reflection skills on a daily basis when
writing targets are used frequently in the curriculum. Start the year by making students write a
biography of a reader to offer knowledge into their viewing habits, challenges, and
achievements; this provides a basis for debates on setting goals for reading. Helping students
assess their reading ability while reading books, nonfiction document, short storey, or poetry
unit. For instance, you might set a goal of understanding various present commitments to a
responsible entity, such as business management, technology or some other subject that concerns
you. Students will then find definitions for words and phrases that start to create vocabulary
when they are read. Students may increase the complexity level of the documents read by
providing detailed for higher-level terms and phrases. Students who are in the interest in reading

are intelligent and have several things to keep in mind. Teachers need to make them read any of
the books that are relevant to their courses, because there are several things that they should be
informed of that are not in the curriculum which should be read in the classroom to make readers
learn (Havnes and et.al, 2016).
Highlight important topics: Students should have the habit of recognizing the primary
subjects. When they want to learn, it will be good for them as they will learn them and it will
give them an idea of what is relevant. In the subject they are reading or annotating the
clarification of the subjects, they should document the questions that are addressed. It will help
them rely on what they have learned which will strengthen their comprehension.
Have fun with words: When students are working on their reading activities, participants
were asked to write down words and phrases on an excel spreadsheet that they don't understand
and carry them to school. Until everybody recognizes the different definitions and uses, you can
then hold a classroom debate on the words. In addition, learners will then place their cards on a
wall to create a record of the difficult language they have learned. These symbols could be used
for future writing lessons, based on the variety and layout of the class, to help children improve
their language more (Heng, 2018).
Discussion on topics: The conversation is about successful ways to improve awareness.
Instead, as they write, the learners will be insightful as they speak, as they will have others'
feedback on the subject and it will encourage their thinking on the subject and help them
develop. The talks may be with employees, teachers or learners and academic staff and collecting
information can gain a better understanding and much more information can be gained (Watty,
McKay and Ngo, 2016).
Provide suggestions that will help students improve the quality of their written projects
The society is changing from the vast number of illiterate individuals to students who
obtain education degree. Writing is an important component of a student's life, whereby writing
and learning work together just to help students develop and learn. Teachers should encourage
students to develop their writing and collaborate with them to upgrade the effectiveness of their
ventures. Writing should be able to accomplish the student's aim and the expertise and standard
of the work should be communicated. For study success, good writing skills are critical. Whether

its letters, project notes, or sales tips, a common dedication and hard work indicates material full
of typing errors, grammatical errors, and poorly researched phrases. Therefore, knowing the
importance of writing skills will also affect how you are viewed in the workplace in terms of
management, alongside strengthening cooperation (Lörz, Netz and Quast, 2016).
Writing a process to clarification the problems: Students should learn the significance of
learning as a tool that explains the issues should be a language makes it understandable by
others. In prose, there is a series that should include the subject's description and conclusion. The
most significant element is the words used by the participant as they can assist them in learning,
which ought to be of the highest standard.
The value of grammar and sentence structure: The students' research should be checked
by them and instead submitted to the teachers as it will assist them in identifying gram and
phrase errors. In sentence construction, educators should assist students and show them the errors
made by someone else to enhance their style of writing. Once they make errors, teachers should
advise students as it will make them understand that they are affecting their reading (Matthews
and et.al, 2016).
The writing should be successful: The student's learning will be effective because they have the
awareness of the subject that will come because they speak in the classroom. The learner should
be encouraged to write in the classroom by the instructor so that they express their response and
make it a foundation for writing the queries. The efficacy of writing is when people are able to
comprehend what they are writing and convey the same information to all.
Recommendations
1. Emphasize the value of simple, reflective prose. Professors who tell students who great
writing will be praised and that bad writing will be punished will obtain better
assignments than teachers who do not make such requests. In the curriculum, encourage
teachers on the first day and during the term that they need to give their best attempt to
convey themselves on document. Right back claims that show you actually believe it,
with feedback on earlier tasks, and your learners will react (Merta Dhewa and et.al,
2017).

2. Effective writing means that a writer is properly intelligent as he / she works with his
knowledge and imagination. Each area of the brain & cells is used by the human mind
when reading it. When a man wrote his / her personal experiences, traveling history, blog
post, essay or something else, all his / her awareness of that, experiences, events,
achievements & defeats, current circumstances & potential outcomes, all come from
reading.
3. The abilities of reading and writing are linked and cannot be taught as it is dependent on
the student's capacity to comprehend it. By understanding the key subject, they should
render the writing successful and it should be in an appealing manner that will make it
appealing to others. When they read it, it makes the student's job easy, as they'll get the
interesting topic and also get high grades (Udin and et.al, 2019).
4. Teachers should track the students' work and help them think their errors in needed to
accomplish on it and develop their results. Educators are the smartest people who can
affect students' behaviour and help them develop and know. Students should be assessed
by educators for work that is important for teachers and for their progress.
CONCLUSION
The above report has been concluded that students should recognize the significance of
healthy habits that will make them stronger. There are certain good people's behaviors and it
differentiates them so that they can be noticed and focused on as it will develop the students.
There are many good qualities that is included in the individual abilities, such as enthusiasm,
organization, capacity to reason and comprehend, communication skills and learning and making
good career options are crucial for them. If they are unique from other learners, they will be good
and strive to achieve happiness that is the most meaningful factor for the participant.
