The cognitive process of decoding symbols to derive

meaning of a text (like reading a book or magazine)

Three components of reading:

Decoding

Comprehension

Retention

Decoding refers to the process of translating a written word

into a proper sound associated with it.

Decoding gets faster and more efficient with practice and

familiarity with words.

It is defined as the level of understanding a text. This

understanding comes from the interaction between the words

that are written and how they trigger knowledge outside the

text/message.

Comprehension relies on a mastery of decoding. Children who

struggle to decode find it difficult to understand and remember

what has been read.

The condition of retaining (keeping) something. It could

be in the Short term memory or Long term Memory.

The ability to retain, which relies heavily on a child’sdecoding proficiency and ability to comprehend what

isread.

Skimming

Scanning

Intensive/Functional reading

Extensive/Recreational Reading

Literature Reading

Detailed Study Reading

General understanding of the text

Fastest type of reading based on purpose

Reader gets a gist of the text instead of in-depth

meaning

Also called rapid-survey reading

Looking for specific information in a fairly large

amount of text

It means your skip more text than you read to find

information

No method involved, can search anywhere

randomly

Also called ‘search reading’

It requires every word to be read and understood in

terms of context reading

Usually done in area of field/research only, and is

time consuming

Also called word-for-word reading

Used for light reading

Reader may skip or read entirely, based on interest

in content

Reading for leisure

Not mainly for pleasure

Used to familiarize reader with different genres of

literature such as novels, short stories, dramas,

biographies, etc.

Requires in-depth reading and taking notes of

content

Methods such as SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read,

Recall, Review) are used

Works well in research and academic studies

SURVEY- of the text, critically examining the

headings, pictures, summaries

QUESTIONS- turn all the headings into questions

and speculate the answers before reading

READ- focus on answering your questions as you

read. Write down your answers to make quick notes

RECALL- without looking at the text or your notes,

write down the main points of the content. This

forces you to think, committing the content to

memory

REVIEW- now using your books and notes, compare

your performance and correct mistakes.
