The document discusses various models for reading comprehension, including the interactive, top-down, and bottom-up models, emphasizing their implications for teaching practices. It outlines how these models highlight the interaction between the reader and the text, enhancing students' reading skills through engagement and comprehension strategies. Understanding and applying these models is essential for future language teachers to create effective learning environments that promote reading proficiency and critical thinking.

3. The interactive model of reading emphasizes the
dynamic interaction between readers and texts,
highlighting the active engagement of readers in
constructing meaning through dialogue with the text.
This model underscores the importance of readers'
background knowledge, experiences, and
interpretations in comprehending and interpreting
texts.

4. COMMON MODELS
Top-Down Model
Interactive Model
This model emphasizes
the interaction between
the reader and the text.
Where meaning is created
through the interaction
between the reader's
interpretations and the
text's features.
Transactional Model
Readers use their prior
knowledge, experiences,
and expectations to
comprehend the text.
Interactive-
Compensatory
Model
Combining elements of
both top-down and
bottom-up processing, the
interactive-compensatory
model suggests that
readers employ a variety
of strategies to
comprehend texts.
Bottom-Up Model
Emphasizes the
importance of textual
features, such as
vocabulary, grammar, and
syntax, in comprehension.

5. These models provide frameworks for
understanding how readers engage with
texts and construct meaning. Depending on
the text, reader, and context, different
models may be more applicable or effective

comprehension strategies.

6. Understanding various models for reading comprehension is essential for
effective teaching practices. By incorporating these models into our teaching
strategies, we can better support students in developing their reading skills and
comprehension abilities. Whether it's encouraging active engagement with texts
through the interactive model or fostering schema activation and prediction-
making with the top-down model, these approaches can enhance students'
reading experiences and promote deeper understanding of texts in the
classroom. As future language teachers, applying these models can help us
create engaging and effective learning environments where students can
develop their reading proficiency and critical thinking skills.
