This article will discuss healthy habits reading exercises. The student will read a passage or read an excerpt of text, discuss it using various approaches, and then either answer the question (out of a set of yes or no questions) or come up with their own question to ask the author.
This is a great way to develop critical thinking skills.
Focus group discussion
The focus on a particular text or topic will lead to a group discussion where the students analyze what is discussed in the text, the literary context, and the reading skills presented.
Unabridged books
The student will read the author’s unabridged version of the work. They will read the book aloud to the class and the teacher.
You could also include various audiobooks or see if there are any books on the library shelf that have been annotated by a professional.
Key points out of textbooks
Textbooks are a great way to build up your students’ language skills. You can find great texts on almost any subject, whether it is an important milestone in history, science, or mathematics.
They can also be used to teach you yourself the various aspects of language. Students can read the key points out of the book, say them out loud to the class, and then answer questions about it.
This activity will help the students learn correct grammar, correct pronunciation, and learn various writing styles.
Discovering children’s books
If you like to read aloud, you should definitely get some children’s books on your list. Children are usually a lot more receptive to reading a book aloud than just reading it silently.
Try introducing a story or a series of short stories and letting the students read the text as written and not stop reading it and explaining it on every page.
They will be reading out loud and developing vocabulary at the same time.
Types of reading exercises
I wrote an article on reading habits and physical health because reading is an important aspect of our lives. It helps us in learning, thinking, coping, preparing, and performing various activities.
Reading helps our brains make new connections, which have an impact on our physical and mental well-being.
Here are some reading exercises that you can do in your own home or office. Try to incorporate these into your daily schedule.
Take the lead with your health. Read about the various conditions, different types, and symptoms so you will know your body’s chemistry well.
This will also help you decide whether to go to a doctor or not and which health condition is right for you.
- Get off the sofa, move around, use the stairs instead of the elevator, or take the bus or the metro.
- Do a long walk outdoors. Even a 20-minute walk can help your body feel more energized.
- Read a book about your health and symptoms.
- Watch the news.
- Take a look at your own weight. Keep track of how much you weigh and where you stand with your weight.
- Eat out of curiosity. Go into restaurants, look at what other people are eating, and how much of it they are consuming.
- Take your measurements, and monitor how much weight you lose. Write your measurements and your weight on a piece of paper and keep track of your progress.
- Open a new book on the subject of your health condition.
- Look at your body with a keen eye. Are you satisfied with what you see? Could you do better?
- Read health news, and ask friends about what they know about your health condition.
Write down and ask a health professional the following questions:
- Do you think it is the real cause?
- What does the doctor suggest?
- Is the medicine effective?
- Is the pain under control?
- Is it a physical or mental illness?
- What is the best way to treat this?
Please take a look at how others, which are not in your situation, handle their health condition. This will give you an idea about your future path.
Visit a health facility, such as a doctor or a laboratory, to get a thorough checkup.
Have a conversation with a health professional about your diet, exercise, eating habits, and health goals.
