How to Use Supplementary Readers in Lower Secondary Classes

Abstract

In this article I hope to offer practical advice and suggestions on the use of class sets of supplementary readers. Of course, not all schools in Malaysia are fortunate enough to have class sets of readers though many have the individual supplementary readers provided by the Ministry of Education. Unlike the individual titles in the reading kit, class readers are not normally taken out of the classroom. Further, while the ‘home’ reader should be easy enough for the pupil to read on his own, the class reader can be slightly more difficult and demanding since it is to be studied in the classroom under the guidance of the teacher.
