LEVEL IN READING SKILL
Level in reading skill
The level we have identified are:
– recognition of words;
– association of meaning with symbols;
– literal comprehension;
– interpretation;
– critical reading;
– creative reading.
Recognition of words
• mean the ability to translate orally or sub
vocally the written symbol into a spoken word
Association of meaning with
symbols
• When the learner comes across a new word
and learns it, and then recognises it in different
contexts, we say he/she has learnt a new
concept.
Literal comprehension
• Involves skills reading for facts
and central ideas, noting down
supporting arguments.
INTERPRETATION
• Combine ideas together that
have connections between the
reader about he or she past
reading and life experience.
Then, the reader is able to make
inferences and draw conclusions.
Critical reading
• Ability to analyze, evaluate and
synthesize of what they have
read.
• Can make their own judgment
Creative reading
• come up with new or effective
alternative ideas and solutions to
those presented by the writer
