2. 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

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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’s
decoding proficiency and ability to comprehend what
is
read.

6. Skimming
Scanning
Intensive/Functional reading
Extensive/Recreational Reading
Literature Reading
Detailed Study Reading

7. 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

8. 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’

9. 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

10. Used for light reading
Reader may skip or read entirely, based on interest
in content
Reading for leisure

11. Not mainly for pleasure
Used to familiarize reader with different genres of
literature such as novels, short stories, dramas,
biographies, etc.

12. 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

13. 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

14. 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.
