What is reading comprehension?
Reading comprehension is the process of constructing meaning from text. The goal of all reading instruction is ultimately targeted at helping a reader comprehend text. Reading comprehension involves at least two people: the reader and the writer. The process of comprehending involves decoding the writer's words and then using background knowledge to construct an approximate understanding of the writer's message.
Reading
comprehension is also affected by the quality of the reading material. Some
writers are better writers than others, and some writers produce more complex
reading material than others. Text that is well organized and clear is called
"considerate text," and text that is poorly organized and difficult
to understand can be called "inconsiderate text." The more
inconsiderate the text, the more work will be required of a reader to
comprehend the text. Readers who do not have the background, abilities, or
motivation to overcome the barriers presented in inconsiderate text will have
more difficulty comprehending these types of texts.
