将文章较难理解的单词或典型的单词放入句子中，并引导学生通过上下文或构词法来理解。这也是学习策略的很好的渗透。
通过让学生做判断题和回答文章概括性问题来检测学生对文章的理解，而且通过教师在学生回答问题时的追问，能进一步引发学生的思考，同时照顾到没有理解文章内容的学生更好的理解与掌握文章内容。

家庭作业是课堂教学在课外的延续，也是对课堂内容的进一步巩固。
教学反思
体会与收获：
1.对怎么上好阅读课有了进一步的认识，对于如何在教学过程中渗透阅读策略有了初步的尝试，基本形成了上阅读课的模式。
2.导入很重要，好的导入能够让学生自然进入阅读状态，并激起学生的阅读欲望。比如用家庭喜剧片《家有儿女》中的三兄妹来导入，因为大家对剧中人物很熟悉与了解，学生就很有发言的欲望，在讨论这三个人物性格的同时就不留痕迹的过渡到了我们所要学的话题。
3.阅读策略的渗透，阅读技巧的养成不是能一蹰而就的，要在今后的日常教学过程中要更好的渗透阅读策略与阅读技巧的训练，培养学生形成良好的阅读习惯与能力。在贯穿策略的同时，要让学生在课堂上尝试策略，体会策略所带来的成功，让学生在阅读学习中体会学习所带来的成就感，从而激发学生的学习兴趣。比如通过构词法或上下文来猜一些新单词或词组的意思等。
存在的问题：
1.时间没有把握好，主要体现在个别问题处理上花费时间太多，不够干脆利落，导致在处理文本的后续步骤走的有些匆忙，这样也影响了一部分学习能力不是很强的同学的对文章的理解，最后的拓展基本上没有展开。但个人认为，即使是拓展不能展开也要保证文本处理的完整性，要保证学生阅读细节的时间。
2.时间没把握好的另一个原因就是备课的时候没有很好的备学生，备学生可能出现的一些回答，以至当学生出现一些你预设之外的答案的时候，处理的不够机智。比如在刚开始的hypothesis步骤中，我很想当然的认为学生肯定会选C的，结果有些选A，有些选B, 因为事先没有多想，所以自己一下不知道该怎么解释，从而处理的有些慌乱无序。
今后努力的方向：
在今后的阅读教学中要继续探究与实践有效的阅读课的教学，进一步贯彻有效教学的理念，并使其具有可操作性。
