ESSAY ON: The Importance of Teaching Reading Comprehension and Decoding Skills

Number of Pages 4

This research paper: This is a 4 page paper discussing the teaching of reading comprehension and decoding skills especially in adolescent students. Reading is said to be primarily composed of two components: decoding (of particular words) and comprehension (of passages). In students with reading disabilities, educators need to focus on these two components in order for the students to progress in their reading skill, considered to be the most essential skill learned in school. While some researchers argue that reading comprehension and decoding are part of a progressive reading model and one component must be mastered before the next can be attempted, other researchers focus more so on what teaching skills can best be used to teach the vital components of decoding and comprehension. Adolescent students who struggle with reading have to go through the same instructional processes as younger readers in an attempt to improve their reading skills however older readers who have higher curriculum demands also must include additional learning strategies to increase their reading proficiency. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
