There are three stages used in the pedagogical framework for teaching all-inclusive reading courses through guidelines such as the pedagogical model. The basic stages are pre-reading stage while-reading stage and post-reading stage respectively. In the pre-reading stage the teacher starts with questions to provoke the thoughts of the students. This is mean to enable students to comprehend the meaning and organization of the text. This knowledge should be linked to previous knowledge. On the other hand while-reading stage involves reading the text twice with the first reading being done with speed involving skimming and scanning techniques. These skills are essential to activate the schemata of students. The post reading stage evaluates and examines the students level of understanding amalgamates their language competencies and engages them in interactive group activities. At this stage the students may attempt to answer questions raised during the pre-reading stage and other questions added by the teacher (Vyas & Patel 2009).

Comprehension strategies are very complex and are usually invisible. Many students encounter challenges with comprehension not as a result of their inability or ability to understand but as a result of not being taught how to comprehend. Instructional strategies of communication such as read aloud and directed readings are two suitable strategies that can be employed for this purpose. Reading aloud aims to enable comprehensive input to encourage oral language growth. Here the teacher assumes the bulk of responsibility by asking questions reading and selecting linguistic texts for discussion. In the course of guided reading the learners continue to obtain assistance from the teacher. However this is not in the same quantity as in the read aloud which encourages them to take responsibility. Traditionally this system was used in primary grade but of late it has been incorporated into the upper grade too (Xu 2010).
