    How to Be a Good Reader

    1. Good readers learn to automatically read letter combinations at the ends of


    words differently than the same letter combinations that form a word. For
    example, a good reader reads the letters t-r-y as “tree” when it comes at the end
    of words such as entry, pantry, country, etc. Likewise, a good reader reads the
    letters t-y at the end of a word as “tee” as in party, county, jaunty, nasty, and
    empty. At the beginnings of words t-y is usually pronounced tie as in Tyrone,
    tyre (British spelling), typhoid, and typist. Tries becomes “trees” in entries,
    pantries, countries, etc. Ties becomes “tees” in parties, counties, and empties.
    2. Good readers learn how to pronounce the -sque letter combination as sk as in
    Basque, masquerade, mosque, grotesque, and bisque. They learn that que at
    the end is /k/ as in unique, technique, and pique.
    3. Good readers learn how to scan.
    4. Good readers can use a dictionary and correctly pronounce any word by
    using the dictionary diacritics.
    5. Good readers can read dialects in print. For example, the following is a
    definition from a recently published southern dictionary. Bad - a place for
    sleep or rest.
    6. Good readers know the conventions cartoonists use to
    indicate thinking, motion, speed, dreaming, and
    talking.
    7. Good readers catch satire, allusions, and puns.
    a. Satire – the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing,
    denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc. Stephen Colbert’s television
    program The Colbert Report is instructive in the methods of
    contemporary American satire. Colbert's character is an opinionated
    and self-righteous commentator who, in his TV interviews, interrupts
    people, points and wags his finger at them, and “unwittingly” uses
    every logical fallacy known to man. In doing so, he demonstrates the
    principle of modern American political satire: the ridicule of the actions
    of politicians and other public figures by taking all their statements
    and purported beliefs to their furthest logical conclusion, thus revealing
    their perceived hypocrisy.
    b. Allusion - a passing or casual reference; an incidental mention of
    something, either directly or by implication. Andy Warhol, a 20th-
    century American artist most famous for his pop-art images of
    Marilyn Monroe, commented about the explosion of media coverage
    by saying, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15
    minutes.” Today, when someone receives a great deal of media
    attention for something fairly trivial, and he or she is said to be
    experiencing his or her “15 minutes of fame,” the allusion is to Andy
    Warhol’s famous saying.
    c. Pun – the humorous use of a word or phrase so as to emphasize or
    suggest its different meanings or applications, or the use of words that
    are alike or nearly alike in sound but different in meaning; a play on
    words. Example: “You can tune a guitar, but you can’t tuna fish.
    Unless, of course, you play bass.”
    8. Good readers know how to find things in catalogs and can use telephone directories and
    anything with an index.
    9. Good readers peruse newspapers, magazines, books, and other
    publications on a regular basis.
    10.Good readers enjoy reading!!!
