About Reading… ,[object Object],[object Object],A combination of top-down and bottom-up processing, or what has come to be called interactive reading, is almost always a primary ingredient in successful teaching methodology because both processes are important. (Brown, Teaching by Principles ) In practice, a reader continually shifts from one focus to another, now adopting a top-down approach to predict probable meaning, then moving to the bottom-up approach to check whether that is really what the writer says. (Nuttall, 1996, p.17)

Pre-reading Activities ,[object Object],A reader will rely on knowledge about a known topic to sort out word meaning; conversely, a reader who has a mastery of the text’s vocabulary but is unfamiliar with the topic will rely on word knowledge in order to comprehend a text. (Mikulecky, What is Reading? )
