Taylor & Francis Understanding and Teaching Reading Comprehension
Book SynopsisThe ultimate aim of reading is not the process but to understand what we read and comprehension can take place at many different levels. There has been an increasing emphasis on the importance of reading comprehension in recent years but despite this there is very little written on this vital topic accessible to trainee and practicing teachers. The Handbook of Reading Comprehension presents an overview of recent findings on reading comprehension and comprehension problems in children. It provides a detailed examination of the characteristics of children who have reading comprehension difficulties, and examines ways in which comprehension can be supported and improved. It is accessibly written for students and professionals with no previous background in the psychology of reading or reading problems. This indispensable handbook asks the question âwhat is comprehension?â The authors consider comprehension of different units of language: understanding single wordTable of Contents1. Introduction: What is comprehension?; 2. Comprehension in the reading context; 3. The development of comprehension skill: skills that contribute to successful reading comprehension; 4. Comprehension difficulties: why do some children fail to understand text?; 5. The assessment of comprehension skill; 6. Can we train or improve reading comprehension skill?
