Pre reading activity
It is the first stage of the lesson plan. You enter the class and interact with the learners in an informal way.

You can divide the students into small groups and name the groups. The whole class is made active following any one technique so that they can smoothly move to the next stage being sufficiently motivated.
While - reading Activity
At this stage you may do the following:
- Read the paragraph aloud with correct pronunciation, pause, intonation and stress.
- The students listen with their books closed.
-You read the paragraph aloud once again and the students keep the books open.
-The students follow your reading in the text.
-Then you may ask some students to read aloud.
(At least one student from each group reads aloud. The purpose is to make the students acquainted with the proposed text to be dealt with.)
Then you ask the students to read the para / paras silently to locate the key words and phrases and comprehend the text. (Before silent reading, you may put some questions in order to make silent reading more purposeful and directed for the learners).
After silent reading, you should ask questions viz. global, local, referential and inferential to help the learners comprehend the text in terms of information, inner message, words and usage. This is the most important aspect in teaching learning process. Most of the objectives are realised here and most of the language skills are developed. During this stage, an interactive languages context is created for both exposure and practice.
Example: What is the topic about? (global)
- Who are the characters in this part of the story (local)
Who does 'he' refer to ? (referential)
How do you know that he is honest? (inferential)
You should distribute the questions among the students of all the groups. At this stage you should clarify the doubts of the students. Questions should be used as instruments to-activate and involve the learners, to make them think and go into the text. As a teacher you have to support them by prompting and providing cues so that the learners actively participate in the process.
Post reading activity
This stage is meant for involving the students in some practice activities relating to productive skills. Language work is done at this stage. Varieties of activities like antonyons and synonyms (vocabulary), arranging the jumbled letters to make meaningful words, jumbled words into sen- tences, sentence formation, transforming words from one form to other (noun - adj, noun-verb), and language skill related exercises áre taken up. You have to prepare objective based questions (learning objectives) on the text for both evaluation & application as well as feedback for you.
