أول رجل مسلم
Unit One – Page 3
Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) was a man of a noble character. He was a friend of Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him) before Islam. He was of great influence in Mecca and of a high reputation. Abu Bakr, Ali, and Khadija were the first Muslims.
When the Prophet told Abu Bakr about Gabriel, he accepted what he heard, and declared his belief in the Oneness of God, and the Prophethood of Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him). Abu Bakr's Islam was very important.
He accompanied the Prophet in the Hijra and fought with him side by side. He served Islam faithfully and sacrificed his life sincerely.

How Teachers Should Teach Reading Passages and Reading Comprehension in ESL Classes
Reading is one of the most important skills for ESL students. Through reading passages, students improve vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and understanding. Teachers play a key role in guiding students before, during, and after reading to ensure real comprehension.
Before Reading: Preparing Students
1. Activate Background Knowledge
Before students read the passage, teachers should talk about the topic. Ask simple questions related to the subject to help students connect the text to their own experience.
2. Teach Key Vocabulary
Pre-teach difficult words that appear in the passage. Use pictures, gestures, synonyms, or Arabic meanings when necessary. This helps students read with confidence.
3. Set a Clear Purpose for Reading
Tell students why they are reading. For example: Are they reading to find the main idea, details, or specific information?
---During Reading: Guiding Understanding
1. First Reading: General Understanding
Ask students to read the passage silently or listen to the teacher read. The goal is to understand the main idea, not every word.
2. Second Reading: Detailed Understanding
Students read again more carefully. Teachers can stop and ask simple comprehension questions to check understanding.
3. Reading Aloud Practice
Allow students to read aloud. Correct pronunciation gently and encourage confidence.
---After Reading: Checking Comprehension
1. Ask Comprehension Questions
- Who is the passage about?
- What happened?
- Where did it happen?
- Why did it happen?
2. True or False Questions
True or false questions help students focus on details in the passage.
3. Multiple Choice Questions
These questions help students practice choosing correct answers and understanding meaning.
4. Short Answer Questions
Encourage students to answer using complete sentences when possible.
---Teaching Reading Comprehension Skills
Main Idea
Teach students to find the main idea of the passage. Explain that the main idea tells what the whole text is about.
Supporting Details
Students should learn how details support the main idea. Highlight sentences that give extra information.
Guessing Meaning from Context
Teach students not to stop at every new word. They can guess meaning by looking at surrounding words.
---Advice for Students: How to Improve Reading Skills
1. Do Not Translate Every Word
Reading word by word slows understanding. Focus on meaning instead.
2. Read the Question First
Knowing the question helps students read with purpose.
3. Read More at Home
Reading stories, short texts, and simple articles improves speed and understanding.
4. Read Aloud Sometimes
Reading aloud improves pronunciation and fluency.
---Common Mistakes Teachers Should Avoid
- Explaining every word in the passage
- Reading only once
- Not checking comprehension
- Correcting students too harshly
Conclusion
Teaching reading passages and comprehension requires patience and clear steps. When teachers guide students before, during, and after reading, learners become confident readers who understand and enjoy English texts.
