Study Notes
Reading as Communication
- Reading is a complex concept, not defined by a single statement.
- The more definitions understood, the more perspectives on reading are available.
- Reading is fundamentally participation in the communication process.
- Reading involves assigning meaning to symbols.
- Reading is like interacting with a writer, assuming the receiver role.
- Reading is not just a basic skill, but a progressive set of abilities.
- Reading skills build in a continuous sequence, akin to playing an online game, starting with basic skills and advancing to more complex ones.
- Reading incorporates skill sets that progressively increase in cognitive advancement.
Reading as a Complex Process
- Reading is a multi-stage process.
- Reading development stages begin with pre-reading (Stage 0) where the child shows desire for language.
- Stage 1 is the initial reading stage, emphasizing basic reading skills (e.g., recognizing letters and simple words).
- Stage 2, "Confirmation and Fluency," involves practicing and perfecting reading skills.
- Stage 3, "Reading for Learning," describes the reader's quest for new knowledge and information, utilizing learned skills for richer understanding.
- The final stage, "Construction and Reconstruction," entails critical analysis and evaluation of reading materials for informed decision-making.
Reading Development Stages (Jean Chall)
- The stages outlined by Jean Chall describe the progression of reading proficiency throughout a person's life.
- The stages are crucial for recognizing and developing comprehension skills throughout life, from childhood to adulthood.
Reading and Schemata
- Understanding a text is influenced by the reader’s schemata.
- Schemata is the sum of a reader's knowledge and experiences.
- It helps readers connect their prior knowledge with new information from a text.
