Measuring Reading Comprehension Reading Comprehension
d. Predicting is a major factor in reading When the students read the text they frequently have a good idea of content,
book covers give us a clue of what article are about, and our brain starts up to predict what we are going to read and the article process of reading is ready to
begin. The teacher should give student clue so that they can predict what is coming too. It will make them better and more engaged reader. In class, itis
necessary to introduce the students to the context before they read. The context can be elicitedor prompted from earlier work, the course book, pictures, and
discussions and so on. Without setting the scene, thetasks can be difficult.
e. Match the task to the topic We could give students what reading text the student are going to read. We
need to choose good reading tasks. The right kinds of question, engaging and useful puzzle, and so on. The most interesting text can be under mind by
asking boring and appropriate questions. The most common place can be made really exciting with imaginative and challenging task. After that the students
are familiar with both the context and text, they can be given more detailed comprehension questions to answer. These questions will require the students
to identify specific pieces of information and can be different types. For example:
• Comprehension • True or False
• Multiple choice
f.Good teachers exploit reading text to the full
Any readingof text is full of sentences, word, ideas, description, and so on. Good teachers integrate the reading text into interesting class sequences, using
the topic or discussion and further taskusing the language for study and later activities.
