Step 1: Survey – Explore the Reading Materials

Before selecting a book or story, spend some time browsing the platform to find something that interests you.

• Log in to Happy Reading Station using your account.

• Use the search bar or filters to find texts by genre, topic, or difficulty level.
• Read the titles, summaries, and preview pages to see which texts interest you.

📌 Tip: Don’t rush! Take your time to explore different genres and find something that excites you.

Step 2: Select – Choose Your Reading Material

Now that you've explored the options, it’s time to select a book, comic, or article to read.

• Pick a text that matches your interests and reading level.
• You can choose something new or continue reading a story from a previous session.
• If you're unsure, check the recommended reading lists provided by your teacher.
• Once you’ve made your choice, click to open and start reading!

📌 Tip: Choose something that feels interesting and not too difficult so you can enjoy the reading experience.

Step 3: Read – Engage with the Text

Now it’s time to read your selected material!

• Read at your own pace and focus on understanding the main ideas.
• Use the built-in dictionary or glossaries to check unfamiliar words.
• Highlight or take notes if you find key points, new vocabulary, or important details.
• If the text has an audio feature, listen while reading to improve your pronunciation.

📌 Tip: Try to read without stopping too much. If you don’t understand a word, guess the meaning from context first before checking the dictionary.

Step 4: Reflect – Think About What You Read

After finishing the reading, take a moment to reflect on your experience.

• What was the story or article about?
• What parts did you like or find interesting?
• Did you learn any new words or ideas?
• How does this text relate to your own experiences?

Now, you need to submit your post-reading reflection in one of the following ways:
✅ Write a short summary of what you read.
✅ Record a video reflection sharing your thoughts.
✅ Create a mind map or visual representation of the key ideas.

📌 Tip: Choose the reflection format that you enjoy the most! The goal is to express your understanding in your own way.

Step 5: Recite – Summarize and Express Your Learning

This is your chance to retell what you read in a creative way!

• Prepare a short summary (written, spoken, or visual).
• You can record a short video, make a presentation, or create a digital poster about your reading.
• If working in a group, discuss the story with your classmates and share different interpretations.

📌 Tip: Think of it like telling a friend about the story in a way that makes them want to read it too!

Step 6: Share – Join the Discussion and Interact with Others

The final step is to share your thoughts and interact with your classmates.

• Post your reflection in the Reading Club discussion forum.
• Read other students' reflections and respond to their ideas.
• Comment on what you found interesting and discuss different interpretations.
• If you have questions about the text, ask in the discussion group!

📌 Tip: Be respectful and encouraging when commenting on your classmates’ posts. Discussions make reading more meaningful!
