Read the following descriptions. Then, match each one of them to the Reading Comprehension Process listed below.

( ) Comprehension involves breathing life experiences into the abstract language of written texts

( ) Proficient readers watch themselves as they read and expect to make adjustments in their strategies to ensure that they are able to achieve a satisfactory understanding of a text

( ) Much of what is to be understood in a text must be inferred. Proficient readers read between the lines to discern implicit meanings, make predictions, and read with a critical eye.

( ) Reading comprehension results when readers can match what they already know (their schema) with new information and ideas in a text.

( ) Our memories quickly overload unless we can pare down a text to its essential ideas. Texts contain key ideas and concepts amidst much background detail

( ) Comprehension is, to a significant degree, a process of inquiry. Asking questions is the art of carrying on an inner conversation with an author, as well as an internal dialogue within one’s self.

( ) Effective comprehension leads to new learning and the development of new schema. Proficient readers make evaluations, construct generalizations, and draw conclusions from a text

Reading Comprehension Process:

1. Make connections to prior knowledge.

2. Generate questions.

3. Visualize and create sensory mental images.

4. Make inferences.

5. Determine importance.

6. Synthesize

7. Monitor reading and apply fix-up strategies.
