Abstract: 

In the present day education system the ability to read and comprehend is crucial to success. It's disheartening to see students going through the motions of reading and identifying confusing parts, and yet lacking a deep involvement with text and strategies to help them cope with parts of text that seem difficult. Teachers have the responsibility to equip the learners with appropriate reading strategies that will help them become better readers. This paper presents the pre, while and post reading activities designed for a particular lesson titled ‘Water: The Elixir of Life’ from the text book SURE OUTCOMES prescribed for I. B.Tech students of JNTU, Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, India. These activities have been designed with an objective to assist the learners in successfully reading, understanding, learning, and enjoying a particular selected text and make reading more communicative.
