2. Silent Reading
ARTS TO READING 
1. Oral Reading 
– in which a child reads aloud in order to convey 
information or pleasure to an audience. 
2. Silent Reading 
– in which listening while following the text, sight-reading 
to a coach or with partners, rehearsing and

DEVELOPING READING COMPREHENSION 
- comprehension is a creative, multifaceted process in which 
students engage with the text. 
FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE COMPREHENSION 
1. Background Knowledge 
2. Text 
3. Purpose
1. Background Knowledge 
- readers bring to the reading process influence 
how 
they understand the text. 
2. Text 
- author’s ideas and how the ideas are organized 
and 
presented also affect comprehension. 
3. Purpose 
- readers vary the way they read according to
Five Sub-processes of 
Comprehension: 
1. Microprocesses 
2. Integrative Processes 
3. Macroprocesses 
4. Elaborative Processes 
5. Metacognitive Processes
Microprocesses 
- chunk ideas into phrases and select what is 
important from the sentence to keep in short-term 
memory. 
Integrative Processes 
- deal with the semantic and syntactic 
connections and relationships among sentences.
Macroprocesses 
- recognizing the structure of text and selecting 
the most important information to remember. 
Elaborative Processes 
- to activate their background knowledge and 
make connections with the book they are reading or 
listening to as it is read aloud.
Metacognitive Processes 
- both readers and writers use metacognitive 
strategies to monitor and evaluate their comprehension.
TAXONOMY OF COGNITIVE AND 
AFFECTIVE DIMENSIONS OF READING 
COMPREHENSION 
Literal Comprehension 
Reorganization 
Inferential Comprehension 
Evaluation 
Appreciation
Literal Comprehension 
- focuses on ideas and information which are 
explicitly stated in the selection. 
Reorganization 
- requires to analyze, synthesize and/or organize 
ideas or information explicitly stated in the selection. 
Inferential Comprehension 
- demonstrated by a student when we use the 
ideas and information explicitly stated in the selection.
Evaluation 
- requires responses by the student which indicate 
that he has made an evaluating judgment by comparing 
ideas presented in the selection with external criteria. 
Appreciation 
- involves all the previously sited cognitive 
dimensions of reading for it deals with the psychological 
and aesthetic impact of the selection on the reader.
Reading Skills 
- information-processing techniques that readers 
and writers use automatically and unconsciously as they 
construct meaning.
