About Reading Comprehension & Reading Comprehension Tutoring

Reading comprehension is the ability to process text, understand its meaning, and integrate it with what the reader already knows. It is a complex cognitive process that involves decoding linguistic symbols and constructing meanings by activating prior knowledge, inferencing, and reflecting on what has been read.

Reading comprehension is not just about recognizing words on a page, but also about understanding the ideas, arguments, and themes presented in the text. It encompasses various dimensions of understanding, including literal comprehension (facts and details), inferential comprehension (reading between the lines or deducing information), and evaluative comprehension (judging the value and credibility of the text).

There are several types of reading comprehension, including narrative, where the reader follows a story; expository, which involves understanding information or arguments; and technical reading, where specialized knowledge is required to understand the text, such as scientific papers or legal documents.

Related entities to reading comprehension include vocabulary knowledge, which is vital for understanding the meaning of the words in a text; syntax and grammar comprehension, which helps in understanding how words are combined into sentences; and phonemic awareness and phonics, which are important for younger readers who are still learning to decode words.

When tutoring someone who struggles with reading comprehension, the best strategy is to first identify their specific challenges. It could be a lack of vocabulary, difficulty in making inferences, or an inability to focus on the text. Tailored strategies can include:

  1. Developing vocabulary through exposure to a wide range of texts and explicit teaching of new words.
  2. Teaching readers to ask questions before, during, and after reading to actively engage with the text and improve understanding.
  3. Encouraging the making of connections between the text and the reader's own experiences or other texts to deepen understanding.
  4. Breaking down texts into manageable chunks, summarizing each section, and discussing to clarify understanding.
  5. Guiding the reader to visualize what they are reading to create mental images that can help with comprehension.

Common concepts in reading comprehension include identifying main ideas and themes, understanding the structure of a text, and identifying the author's purpose. One of the most difficult concepts for readers can be making inferences, as it requires reading between the lines and drawing on prior knowledge, which can be a complex skill to master.

Reading comprehension is essential for academic success and lifelong learning, and improving this skill can open the door to a deeper understanding of the world through the written word.
