 Reading

his life.
 It is a means of language acquisition, of communication, and of sharing
information and ideas.
 Is what we do when we understand writing. More fully, it a cognitive process of
understanding information represented by printed or written language. It is a way
of getting information and insights about something that is written. Reading and

words. Reading with a purpose helps the reader to direct information towards a
goal and focuses their attention.
 Reading" is the process of looking at a series of written symbols and getting
meaning from them. When we read, we use our eyes to receive written symbols
(letters, punctuation marks and spaces) and we use our brain to convert them
into words, sentences and paragraphs that communicate something to us.
 Reading is a receptive skill - through it we receive information. But the complex
process of reading also requires the skill of speaking, so that we can pronounce
the words that we read. In this sense, reading is also a productive skill in that we
are both receiving information and transmitting it (even if only to ourselves).

 Developmental Reading
 Is a course is designed to help the struggling reader develop mastery in the
areas of reading comprehension, vocabulary building, study skills, and media
literacy, which are the course's primary content strands. Using these strands, the
course guides the student through the skills necessary to be successful in the
academic world and beyond. The reading comprehension strand focuses on
introducing the student to the varied purposes of reading (e.g., for entertainment,
for information, to complete a task, or to analyze). In the vocabulary strand, the
student learns specific strategies for understanding and remembering new
vocabulary. In the study skills strand, the student learns effective study and test-
taking strategies. In the media literacy strand, the student learns to recognize
and evaluate persuasive techniques, purposes, design choices, and effects of
media. The course encourages personal enjoyment in reading with 10 interviews
featuring the book choices and reading adventures of students and members of
the community.
 Is a branch of reading instruction that is designed to support literacy in a variety
of contexts to improve comprehension and decoding skills. Whether a student
needs to increase their comprehension, speed, accuracy, or something
else, developmental reading will help them reach their goals.
 It is designed to supplement existing literacy skills and does not address basic
skills such as phonemic awareness, decoding, and vocabulary. These are
usually taught upon first learning to read.

 Developmental reading teaches strategies that can be used in any subject area,
especially language arts courses and interdisciplinary classes such as social
studies, science, and higher-level math courses. These tend to require students
to read and understand large amounts of complex text and can be daunting if a
student doesn't feel like they have strong reading strategies at their disposal.

 By teaching readers that a text is the sum of its parts and showing them how to
use these parts to their advantage, they will feel ready to tackle any type of
reading that they may encounter. Many community colleges and even some high
schools offer developmental reading courses to help students prepare for
rigorous college-level courses and technical textbooks.
