Enlighting Modern Literacy With Powerful Reading
Keywords:
Literacy, Powerful ReadingAbstract
Since modern literacy is no longer defined as the ability to read and write, all of EFL readers must make sure that all of the readings take them to the powerful reading level. It means that readers can get the actual message that is willing to communicate with the writer. Contextual guessing strategy is one of the most crucial strategies that must be given as the fundamental reading strategy. Studies show that this way significantly helps to guess the unfamiliar words in a text effectively and precisely correct. Teachers must reveal and make sure all of the steps given before and during the reading process. Therefore, the main problem in reading which deals with unfamiliar words will be absolutely solved and leave the readers a powerful understanding. There are at least five steps that teachers need to implement in their classroom without abandon some fundamental functions of context clues.
