    Study Notes

    Reading Definition

    • Reading is the process of decoding and comprehending written or printed material.
    • It is a complex cognitive process involving several skills.

    Key Skills in Reading

    • Phonological Awareness: Recognizing and manipulating sounds in spoken language. This includes recognizing rhymes, identifying syllables, and segmenting sounds.
    • Phonemic Awareness: Understanding that words are composed of individual sounds (phonemes) which can be blended and separated to make words. A key component of reading.
    • Decoding: Converting printed symbols (letters) into spoken sounds (phonemes).
    • Vocabulary Development: Expanding knowledge of words and their meanings.
    • Fluency: Reading smoothly and accurately with appropriate pace, expression and comprehension.
    • Comprehension: Understanding what is read, including making inferences, drawing conclusions, and identifying main ideas and supporting details.
    • Critical Analysis: Evaluating the information presented for accuracy, bias, and validity.

    Stages of Reading Development

    • Emergent Literacy: Pre-reading stage involving initial exposure to print and development of pre-reading skills in preschool and early elementary grades. Crucial for developing foundational knowledge for later reading.
    • Beginning Reading: Children learn to decode words and read simple sentences at early elementary level. This involves applying the basic decoding skills.
    • Developing Reading: Building comprehension skills and expanding vocabulary for more complex texts. This stage occurs throughout elementary school and early middle school.
    • Fluency and Strategic Reading: Focuses on improved reading speed, accuracy, and comprehension with progressively more challenging material in later elementary, middle school, and secondary school.
    • Independent Reading: Reading for pleasure and information independently. This involves reading materials across a wide range of subjects and topics.

    Factors Affecting Reading

    • Motivation: A strong desire to read influences the development of good reading habits.
    • Background Knowledge: Existing knowledge about the topic being read affects comprehension.
    • Instruction: Quality teaching and instruction directly impact reading development.
    • Language Proficiency: Understanding spoken language helps in deciphering written language.
    • Cultural Factors: Background and cultural context can influence the interpretation of texts.
    • Emotional Factors: Stress and emotional upset can interfere with comprehension.

    Reading Strategies

    • Previewing: Quickly scanning the text before reading for an overall understanding.
    • Questioning: Formulating questions before, during, and after reading to guide comprehension.
    • Summarizing: Condensing the main ideas of a text.
    • Visualizing: Creating mental images of the text.
    • Connecting: Relating the text to personal experiences.
    • Monitoring: Checking understanding as one reads.
    • Clarifying: Seeking further understanding when encountering difficult words or concepts.

    Types of Reading

    • Skimming: Quickly reading to get the gist of a text.
    • Scanning: Searching for specific information within a text.
    • Extensive Reading: Reading for pleasure and enjoyment.
    • Intensive Reading: Carefully analyzing and interpreting a text for deeper understanding.
    • Literal Reading: Focuses on understanding facts and details within the text.
    • Inferential Reading: Drawing conclusions and making inferences beyond the explicitly stated information.
