Speaking, Writing, and Listening skills, it is one among the four primary language learning skills. So, it is looking at a collection of written symbols and deriving meaning from them. When we read, our brains translate the written symbols/letters, punctuation, and spaces that our eyes see into words, sentences, and paragraphs that make sense to us. We can read aloud or silently (in our heads).

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The ability to understand something. A
comprehension exercise consists of a passage upon
which questions are set to test the students ability to
understand the content of the given text and to infer
information and meanings from it.
5. RULES OF COMPREHENSION
Read the passage fairly quickly to get the general
idea.
Read again , a little slowly , so as to know the
details.
Study the questions thoroughly . Turn to the
relevant portions of the passage , read them again ,
and rewrite them in your own words , neatly and
precisely .
6. CONTINUE…
Use complete sentence
If you are ask to give the meaning of any words or
phrases , you should express the idea as clearly as
possible in your own words . Certain words require
the kind if definition that is given in a dictionary .
Take care to frame the definition in conformity with
the part of speech.
Have a clear and logical thought process. Do not
clutter your brain with unnecessary and irrelevant
thoughts and details.
7. IN THE EXAMINATION HALL
. Read the passage at least twice and understand
its contents well. This should not take more than
five minutes for a small and ten for a long
passages.
Do not read the questions first. This may tempt you
to look for only particular information in the passage
and consequently, affect full comprehension. It is
important to first understand the passage before
you go to the questions because if the questions
are not very specific, you may commit a lot of
mistakes. Generally, the passages have a mix of
implied ideas and specific detail type of questions.
8. CONTINUE…
. Eliminate regression, i.e., going back to the lines
you have just read. This is out of habit developed
over years of wrong or half-hearted reading. This
must be done away with as the maximum time you
should take to answer all the questions after
reading a passage is about seven minutes.
Regression is the result of lack of concentration and
assumptions.
Do not let your own knowledge (or lack of it)
interfere with the contents of the passage. Do not
make any attempt to agree or disagree with the
author.
9. CONTINUE…
Your principal task in attempting a comprehension
passage should comprise:
i. Finding the topic. The topic must be precise. Generally
the topic is found either in the first or in the last line.
ii. Finding the main idea. This can be a definition, a
classification, a purpose or an elaboration of the topic;
often the topic and the main idea are the same.
iii. Finding major supporting details. The supporting
details modify, explain or elaborate the main idea. You
should learn to recognize these supporting details that
explain, illustrate, compare and contrast, show cause-
effect relationship or merely restate the main idea in
other words.
10. CONTINUE…
Underline the words you don’t know the meaning
of. Try to relate them to the given context.
Resort to sentence analysis and break a sentence
into parts, looking for answers to who, what, whom,
when, where, which, why and how.
Locate reference words and check what they refer
to.
Underline signal words and look for what they
indicate.
. If the passage contains more than one paragraph,
resort to paragraph analysis in the manner given
above (5 to 10).
11. TYPES OF COMPREHENSION STRATEGIES
There are six main types of comprehension
strategies .
Make Connections—Readers connect the topic or
information to what they already know about
themselves, about other texts, and about the world.
Ask Questions—Readers ask themselves
questions about the text, their reactions to it, and
the author's purpose for writing it.
12. CONTINUE…
Visualize—Readers make the printed word real
and concrete by creating a “movie” of the text in
their minds.
Determine Text Importance—Readers
distinguish between what's essential versus what's
interesting,
distinguish between fact and opinion,
determine cause-and-effect relationships,
compare and contrast ideas or information,
13. CONTINUE….
discern themes, opinions, or perspectives,
pinpoint problems and solutions
name steps in a process,
locate information that answers specific questions,
summarize.
14. CONTINUE…
Make Inferences—Readers merge text clues with
their prior knowledge and determine answers to
questions that lead to conclusions about underlying
themes or ideas.
Synthesize—Readers combine new information
with existing knowledge to form original ideas, new
lines of thinking, or new creations.

17. INFORMAL ASSESSMENT
Asking students if they understand a story or an
information piece.
Having conversation with the students about the
material read.
Observing students as they response to text
verbally and non-verbally.
Observing student behavior for evidence for using
clues while reading .
22. THE ROLE OF COMPREHENSION INSTRUCTION
Teachers can play a critical role in helping students
develop their comprehension skills. Reading research
has shown that comprehension instruction can help
students do a better job of understanding and
remembering what they read. Good instruction can
also help students communicate with others, verbally
and in writing, about what they’ve read.
23. COMPREHENSION IS EVEN MORE
IMPORTANT TODAY
Comprehension is an essential part of successfully
developing 21st century literacies. It is a vital tool for
reading in our modern age, a vehicle through which
we:
gain meaning from the words someone else has
constructed,
learn something new, to confirm something we
think,
24. CONTINUE….
understand another’s viewpoint,
to relax and, yes,
even to escape from the everyday pressures of life.
A student can do all those things well and still not
understand what the words mean.
25. CONTINUE…
What value is there in that? Whether you teach
reading in the classroom or work with your own
children at home, be careful that you always define
reading, not by the subskills involved, but by the
understanding gained.
26. CAUSES OF READING COMPREHENSION FAILURE
Inadequate instruction
Insufficient exposure and practice
Deficient word recognition skills
Deficient memory capacity and functioning
Significant language deficiencies
Inadequate comprehension monitoring and self-
evaluation
27. CONTINUE…
Unfamiliarity with text features and task demands
Undeveloped attentional strategies
Inadequate cognitive development and reading
experiences
