Reading Comprehension Skills explores the cognitive processes behind effective reading, addressing how readers can improve understanding and retention. It emphasizes that reading comprehension is not passive but an active process improved through targeted strategies.
The book delves into crucial areas such as vocabulary acquisition, where expanding knowledge helps unlock complex texts, and active reading, which transforms rote reading into engaged analysis.
The book progresses systematically, starting with core cognitive concepts like working memory and attention before moving into specific strategies for vocabulary development and active reading techniques like SQ3R. A key focus is metacognition, teaching readers to monitor their understanding and address comprehension breakdowns in real time.
By integrating cognitive principles with practical techniques, the book empowers readers to understand why strategies work, not just how.
Drawing from literacy research, cognitive psychology, and educational science, the book provides evidence-based techniques for improved reading comprehension, essential for academic success and lifelong learning. It emphasizes the importance of understanding one’s own comprehension process, allowing readers to identify areas of confusion and apply ‘fix-up’ strategies effectively.
This approach is especially valuable for students, educators, and anyone seeking to become a more engaged and proficient reader.
