    Study Notes

    Reading Concepts

    • Fluency is the capacity to read with appropriate speed and expression, without errors, similar to how one speaks.

    Comprehension

    • It is the ability to recall events, characters, and the main concept of a story after reading a passage.

    Bottom-Up Theory of Reading

    • This theory involves a step-by-step process of instilling proficiency in reading components to make students literate.
    • It involves direct and explicit instruction in a building-block approach, focusing on foundational skills required for reading mastery during early childhood education.
    • The primary purpose is to develop key skills, starting from the basics, and then advancing to vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.

    Features of Bottom-Up Reading Model

    • Emphasizes mastering fundamentals before moving to complicated concepts like comprehension and inference.
    • Covers understanding sounds of each alphabet letter, phonetic principles, and word formation.
    • Develops skills without relying on texts, starting from studied vocabulary, grammar, and speech structures.

    Disadvantages of Bottom-Up Approach

    • May not be effective at the initial stage of training when students don't know how to read.
    • Can be time-consuming in language learning, focusing on grammar and phonetics, but neglecting language use in communication.
