Do not try to shout to take their attention before you can start your class. Let them do whatever they are doing ( in control situation of course. Stand in the middle of the class. Stare at them for few minutes. Kids will be automatically curious on what is happening. Instead of shouting, you just stand in the middle of the class staring at them.
Worse come to worse, teacher should dare enough to be different. Bring something different that can trigger their attention in class. Such as instruments, toys, etc. You even can dress up a little bit different sometime in order to attract their attention of your class. Remember, shouting is not a good solution. You might end loosing your voice.

Pre reading PRE-READING IDEASChunking: Chunk the reading materials into more manageable parts so reading feels more achievable to students from the start.Pre-reading discussion: Prior to reading, lead a class discussion to draw upon past experiences, prior learning, and relevance that relates to the new material.Pre-reading text survey: Preview the reading. Discuss layout, organization, elements, titles, helpful tips, end-of-chapter material, quotes, bold text, italicized text, bulleted text, photos, charts, or other graphics.Pre-reading anticipation guides: Develop student questions: Formulating questions helps them think more critically about the material being read or learned.
Create a reading frame: Design an advanced organizer designed to match the elements and patterns of the text so students likewise organize their learning.Re-read: Require a second reading of material with a new purpose.Model comprehension process or think aloud: Talk aloud to the students about what you are thinking while you are reading. You can talk about drawing conclusions, making connections, or asking more questions (monitoring your comprehension).
Silent reading
Silent reading techniques
•You don’t need to ‘pronounce’ each word to yourself.
•Try to visually perceive more than one word at a time, preferably phrases.
•Unless a word is absolutely crucial to global understanding, skip over it and try to infer its meaning through its context.

To her shock, she finds a gold coin sticking to the scales and tells her husband, Ali Baba's rich and greedy brother, Cassim. Ali Baba tells Cassim about the cave. Cassim goes to the cave to take more of the treasure, but in his greed and excitement over the treasures forgets the magic words to get back out of the cave.

Analogy
analogy is an inference or an argument from one particular to another particular, as opposed to deduction, induction, and abduction, where at least one of the premises or the conclusion is general. The word analogy can also refer to the relation between the source and the target themselves, which is often, though not necessarily, a similarity, as in the biological notion of analogy.
Skimming and scanning
• Skimming • Sometime you may retrieve a lot of
information – for example, a pile of books or a long list of websites from a search engine. It helps if you are able to decide quickly whether the information is likely to be of any use to you.
• In situations such as this, skimming comes in handy. It is a useful skill to practise because it can save you a lot of time.
.
What is skimming?• Skimming is quickly casting your eyes over a piece
of text to get the gist of it – and to discover if it is of interest or relevance to you. There are often clues in the text to help you – for example:
• Headings• words in bold• “pull quotes in shaded boxes”• pictures• bullet points.• You skim a text to find out the sort of things it does
and does not tell you
Scanning
Scanning• Once you have identified sources of information that
are likely to be of use to you by skimming, you will probably need to look at them more closely in order to get all the information that you need.
• The good news is that you may not need to read your texts from beginning to end. There is another technique that can save you a lot of time and effort. It is called scanning.
• Scanning is when you look at a piece of text to see if you can spot a keyword or a heading to locate specific information.

Conclusion• Teacher-student relationships are
critical to the success of the two other aspects of classroom management – rules and procedures and disciplinary interventions
• To build good relationships, communicate appropriate levels of dominance and let students know you are in control of the class and are willing and able to lead
• Communicate appropriate levels of cooperation and convey the message that you are interested in the concerns of students as individuals and as a class
• Make a special effort to build positive relationships with high need students
• Start planning NOW for actions you will take tomorrow.
• Think about what you wish you had done differently before.
• How will you start your first minute of class?
• Good teaching is like gardening. The most important part of the activity is preparation of the soil so that plants can grow.
• The rest is about providing daily nutrients (lessons) and removing the weeds (incorrect information or behavior).
• We should structure our classroom management to reflect the world in which we live.
• We are preparing our students for that world.
• How are we helping them to fit in?
• Remember that good classroom management teaches skills students will need in the adult world.
• The role model we provide is the most powerful instruction they will ever receive.
•Never forget the power of one person to make a difference in the life of a child. Believe it!
