 What is Reading Comprehension?

“Reading comprehension is the ability to process text,

understand its meaning, and to integrate with what the reader
already knows.”
 Skills for increasing comprehension:

1. Finding main ideas and supporting details/evidence

2. Making inferences and drawing conclusions
3. Recognizing a text's patterns of organization
4. Summarizing/Paraphrasing
5. Reading for Information/details
6. Reading and Interpreting nonprose forms (e.g., graphs,
tables, charts, diagrams)
7. Understanding opinions and detecting biases
Reading skill
 1. Deconding

Deconding is a vital step in the process. We use this

skill to sound out words we’ve heard before but haven’t
seen written out. The ability to do that is the foundation for
other reading skill.
Deconding relies on early language skill called
phonemic awareness. Phonemic awareness enables kids to
hear individuak sounds in words.
 2. Fluency

To read fluently, we need ro instantly recognize words,

including ones they can’t sound out. Fluency speeds up the
rate at which they can read and understand text. It’s also
important when we encounter irregular words, like of and
the, which can’t be sounded out
 3. vocabulary

To understanding what you’re reading, you need to

understand most of the words in the test.
Having a strong vocabulary is a key component of
reading comprehension. We can learn vocabulary through
instrusction.
 4. Sentence construction and cohesion

Understanding how sentence are bulit might seem like

a writing skill. So might connecting ideas within and
between sentences, which is called cohesion. But these
skills are important for reading comprehension as well.
 5. Reasoning and background knowledge

Most readers relate what they’ve read to what they

know. So it’s important for we o have background or prior
knowledge about the world when we read. We also need to
be able to “read between the lines” and extract meaning
even when it’s not literally spelled out.
 6. Working Memory and Attention
These two skils are both part of a group of abillities know as
executive function. They’re different but closely related.
Working memory allows them to hold on to that information
and use it to gain meaning and build knowledge from what we’re
reading, working memory and attention are part of executive
function.
The ability to self-monitor while reading is also tied to that. We
need to be able to recognize when we dont understand something.
Then they need to stop, go back and re-read to clear up any
confusion we may have.

recycled shopping bags into pellets into oil as shown in the bottle being held by Linda Wang,
the Maxine Spencer Nichols Professor in the Davidson School of Chemical Engineering.
Using distillation, that oil is separated into a gasoline-like fuel in the bottle in the counter and
a diesel-like fuel not shown.
• "Our strategy is to create a driving force for recycling by converting polyolefin waste into a
wide range of valuable products, including polymers, naphtha (a mixture of hydrocarbons), or
clean fuels," said Linda Wang, the Maxine Spencer Nichols Professor in the Davidson
School of Chemical Engineering at Purdue University and leader of the research team
developing this technology. "Our conversion technology has the potential to boost the profits
of the recycling industry and shrink the world's plastic waste stock.“
• The conversion process incorporates selective extraction and hydrothermal liquefaction.
Once the plastic is converted into naphtha, it can be used as a feedstock for other chemicals
or further separated into specialty solvents or other products. The clean fuels derived from
the polyolefin waste generated each year can satisfy 4 percent of the annual demand for
gasoline or diesel fuels. Some results of Wang's study were published Jan. 29 in ACS
