To Read or Not to Read

Yesterday I took part in the Cambridge University webinar on the topic "To Read or Not to Read". We were discussing various interesting qestions concerning issues of reading. For example, there are some points that were included in discussion:
1. One should begin reading only after acquiring some basic knowlrdge of the spoken language.
2. Learning new alphabet should begin with learning single letters, starting with the most common and useful (phonic method).
3. We do not need to necessarily read every word accrately to understand the text.
4. When reading a text we use our own world knowledge in order to access the meaning.
This webinar was very informative and valuable. I am thankful to Tetiana Shelepko for great conducting of this webinar.
P.S. I would like to share with you the certificate that I had received for attending the webinar.
