What is a Reading SkillAny aspect of the process
of reading that learners need to master in order to become effective and efficient readers
Why Teach Reading as a Collection of Skills?

a reading problem or a language problem?”

Learners might not have developed/be aware of good reading skills in their own language
Learners need practice in transferring reading skills to another language
Achievable goals --takes away the fear/mystery
