    Study Notes

    The Simple View of Reading (SVR)

    • A theoretical framework proposed by Gough and Tunmer in 1986 to explain the process of reading comprehension
    • Breaks down reading into two fundamental components: Decoding (or Word Recognition) and Language Comprehension

    Decoding (or Word Recognition)

    • Refers to the ability to recognize and pronounce words accurately
    • Involves skills such as:
      • Phonemic awareness (identifying and manipulating individual sounds or phonemes in words)
      • Knowledge of letter-sound relationships (phonics)
      • Sight word recognition (recognizing common words instantly without sounding them out)

    Language Comprehension

    • Involves understanding the meaning of words, sentences, and texts
    • Encompasses:
      • Vocabulary knowledge
      • Syntax (grammar and sentence structure)
      • Semantic skills (understanding word meanings and relationships between words)

    Reading Comprehension

    • Result of a person's ability to accurately decode words and their proficiency in understanding language
    • Formula: RC = Decoding * Language Comprehension

    Reading Profiles

    • Strong Decoding, Strong Comprehension: Strong reading comprehension skills
    • Strong Decoding, Weak Comprehension: Can read words accurately but may struggle with understanding the text
    • Weak Decoding, Strong Comprehension: May have difficulty reading words accurately but can comprehend well when the text is read to them
    • Weak Decoding, Weak Comprehension: Likely to experience significant difficulties in reading comprehension

    Importance of SVR

    • Helps educators diagnose specific areas of weakness in a reader
    • Informs targeted interventions and instructional strategies to support the individual needs of learners
