Reading, Understanding, Learning
/
Sometimes a student can read, but is not able to understand what he is reading. Without comprehension skills, the act of reading is frustrating. The sentences just do not make sense and learning the material through reading does not happen.
It is not unusual for a student to complete the primary grades without having developed solid comprehension skills. In the upper grades, when more independent learning through reading is assigned, this lack of skills becomes apparent as the student falls behind in class. Not only is the student lacking the necessary skills, he also may have little or no background knowledge of the new topics to help him relate to the material. The student finds it difficult to become interested in and focus upon what he is reading.
Reading fluency is needed so that the student can read to the end of the sentence while still remembering the beginning and the middle of it. With practice, fluency develops so that the student can read paragraphs, then pages and chapters while retaining awareness of what he is reading. Using comprehension skills, the student interprets the meanings of the words and the meanings of the sentences he is reading, connecting it all within the context of a paragraph or a story.
Reading comprehension is necessary for the effective study of all subjects as well as for the effective following of a story for enjoyment. In addition to the knowledge and the pleasure received through reading, vocabulary is expanded and proper spelling is reinforced with the printed word seen repeatedly. The ability to communicate grows and writing skills are enhanced as well.
