Study Notes
Reading Skills
- Reading is a fundamental language skill involving decoding, understanding meaning, and interpretation.
- Skills develop progressively, from basic decoding to advanced comprehension and critical analysis.
- Crucial components include phonemic awareness (sound recognition), fluency (speed and accuracy), vocabulary, and comprehension strategies (summarizing, predicting, inferring).
- Effective teaching involves guided practice, diverse texts, and extensive reading.
Reading Strategies
- Skimming: Quickly reading for the general idea or main points. Useful for deciding if a text is worth detailed reading or for getting an overview. (e.g., news headlines, chapter introductions).
- Scanning: Quickly looking for specific information (e.g., dates, names, definitions). Useful for finding specific details in long texts or during exams.
Reading Stages
- Pre-reading stage: Activate prior knowledge and make predictions. Questions are used to engage and prepare readers.
- While-reading stage: Focus on understanding main ideas and details. Activities like answering questions, matching headings to paragraphs, and highlighting information are used.
- Post-reading stage: Reflect on the read material, connect it to prior knowledge, and do follow-up tasks (discussions, summarizing).
Assessing Reading
- Reading assessment: Evaluates comprehension and skill use.
- Rubrics: Guides for evaluating performance using criteria (main idea understanding, details, word inference, and inferences).
- Rubric levels: (e.g., excellent, good, needs improvement) provide clear performance descriptions for each criterion.
- Assessment can include fluency, pronunciation (oral reading), comprehension questions, summaries, or retelling tasks.
