meaning
During this processing of information, the reader uses strategies

to understand what they are reading, uses themes to organize
ideas, and uses textual clues to find the meanings of new words.
Each of the three components of reading is equally important.
Reading is a process that involves recognizing words, leading to the development of comprehension.
PROCESS
According to research, reading is a process that negotiates the meaning between the text and its
reader. The reading process involves three stages.
• The first is the pre-reading stage.

Look at the title of the selection and list all the information that comes to mind about the title.
READING
• The second stage occurs during reading.

Make predictions as they read and then confirms or revises the predictions.
• The final stage occurs after reading.
Create summaries, where they take a huge selection and reduce it to its main points for more concise
understanding.

Skimming
It is the process of speedy reading for general meaning.
Concentrate on identifying the central or main points. Use this technique to:
✓ pre-view a selection of text prior to detailed reading;

✓ refresh your understanding of a selection of text following detailed reading.
Scanning
It is passing your vision speedily over a section of text in order to find particular words or
phrases that are relevant to your current task.
You can scan:
✓ the introduction or preface of a text;
✓ the first or last paragraphs of chapters;
✓ the concluding or summarizing chapter of a text;
✓ the book index

Detailed Reading and Note Taking
Once you have selected useful information, you can begin to read in detail. Note taking
techniques provide a useful aid to reading.
Use:
✓ underlining and highlighting
✓ keywords
✓ questions
✓ summaries
Making Inferences
Making inference is the ability of understanding implicit messages conveyed by a writer based on
the reader’s schema or background knowledge.
Making inferences is one of the reading strategies and techniques that help improve the critical
comprehension skill of the readers as they try to unravel the meaning between, behind, and
beyond words they read.

Drawing Conclusions
Drawing conclusion is another reading strategy that gives the reader an experience to explore
after reading the text.
Readers are given the opportunity to utilize visual clues to figure out something not directly
stated.
When drawing conclusion, one develops the skill of putting together various pieces of
information to come up with an acceptable conclusion.
