Test IV- Essay. Briefly explain the questions that are being asked for. (15 POINTS)
1. How does developmental reading differ from that of reading comprehension?
- Developmental Reading refers to a comprehensive reading curriculum that spans many time
periods or phases. These time periods are usually associated with a person's developmental
phases. Reading comprehension refers to the capacity to read, process, and comprehend
material. It is based on two skills: word reading (the ability to decipher the symbols on the page)
and language comprehension (being able to understand the meaning of the words and
sentences).
2. Why intensive reading is more serious than extensive reading?
- Intensive reading is more serious because it fosters critical thinking and analytical skills in the reader
while also enhancing reading abilities, vocabulary, and grammatical understanding and extensive
reading improves the reader's reading speed and fluency.
