The two receptive skills are reading and listening, and they are equally important. We can either read and listen for a purpose or for entertainment.

The teacher also needs to ensure that the text is neither too easy nor too difficult. We also need to ask ourselves if we need to pre-teach any vocabulary. We shouldn't teach too many words, but rather only help them with the words that are vital to understanding the text.
