HOW TO DEVELOP READING COMPREHENSION

Abstract

            Reading can be challenging for children when most of the academic material they encounter in school is new, unfamiliar, technical, and a lot more complex than picture books. There are a variety of different issues when it comes to learning how to read. Kids who recognize and understand the meaning of words separately but have trouble linking them together into a meaningful coherence have reading comprehension problems. Learning how to help students with reading comprehension problems is the main goal of this article.

            Reading comprehension is the essence of the development of children’s reading skills in general, which translates to the ability to obtain an education. After long years of research and analysis, it has been concluded that there are three major factors influencing the development of reading comprehension. These are vocabulary knowledge, text comprehension instruction, and teacher preparation and comprehension strategies.

They need to be knowledgeable in the content, as well as the strategies they employ, recognize which strategies are efficient for which students, adjust their model to meet students’ needs and inspire them to work hard.
