Stages of Reading Development:
0 - Pre: no reading occurs
1 - Initial: acquire basic skills (recognition), combine letters and recognize (C+A+T = cathinais)
2 - Confirmation and Fluency: know the meaning of the word
3 - For learning the new
4 - Multiple viewpoint: new information, reader keeps on reading, expanding network
In the stage of Construction and Reconstruction:
Readers make informed decisions and sound judgments based on what was read
The process of reading development involves stages like Pre-reading, Initial reading, Confirmation and Fluency, and Multiple viewpoint reading
The study mentions the importance of acquiring basic skills like recognition and combining letters to form words
The study emphasizes the significance of readers making informed decisions and sound judgments based on the material they have read
Reading is situationally bonded
3 Ways to Process Reading
Reader < Text, Reader > Text, Reader = Text
Reading is not just a basic skill
Stages of Reading Development
1. 0 - Pre: No actual reading occurs yet, Reader as a child manifests desire to read, Speaking before reading, Merely imitates sounds prior to reading
2. 1 - Initial: Acquire basic skills (recognition), Realize that combination can take place, Beginning reading books are introduced, Associating words to sounds
3. 2 - Confirmation and Fluency: Practice reading to perfect, Progression/mastery from one skill to another
4. 3 - For Learning the New: Keeps on reading for getting new information/added knowledge
5. 4 - Multiple viewpoint: New info acquired can validate or negate previous/existing info, Multiple versions of info exist from various sources
6. 5 - Construction and Reconstruction: Makes informed decisions and sound judgments based on what was read, Generates/constructs new ideas
Fluency 
Ability to understand or make meaning of the words read
Reading is problem-solving
Reading proficiency 
Requires certain characteristics
A fluent reader is not proficient
Everything that we read should be accepted as is - false

Reading is not the same as reading
Proficient Reader 
Strategic in monitoring interactive processes that assist comprehension, Motivated to read and learn, Socially active around reading tasks, Mentally engaged
Accuracy + Fluency = Proficiency
Schemata makes comprehension reader - true
Psychology of Reading 
Understanding a reading material involves schemata (background knowledge = experience + acquired info.), Ideas/meanings in the text + schemata of the reader = understanding
Importance of Reading: Opens doors to relevant information, Increases one's vocabulary, Improves speaking and writing skills, Increases mental activity

Reading according to Performance
1. Speed reading - trying to get as many information in the shortest amount of time
2. Proof-reading - revise something you have written & check for grammatical lapses
3. Sub-vocalized - trying to say in one’s mind how a word should be pronounced
4. SPE (Structure-proposition and evaluation) - Mortimer Adler's method to divide, propose, and evaluate text
Good readers know their improvement points
A fluent reader is not necessarily proficient
Schemata makes comprehension reader
Types of Reading
1. Skimming: looking for main ideas, get an overview of the text
2. Scanning: looking for relevant key words/specific information only, get an overview
3. Intensive: carefully reading the text by paying attention to every word in the text and how it affects the entire meaning/message of the text
4. Extensive: to enjoy the reading experience, not paying attention to the text structure, the particular grammar, or the words used
5. Detailed study: reading something carefully to get accurate and complete information
One does not need to have 20/20 vision to be a good reader
Reading according to Program
1. Read Aloud - to enhance the way the student speaks
2. Fluency - to repeatedly read aloud until pronunciation is mastered
3. Selective - involves skimming & scanning
4. Shared - also called “collaborative reading”
5. Independent - a regular no. of hours is dedicated to reading only
6. Remedial - offered to those who cannot cope with readers of the same level
7. Guided - students read on their own & teacher provides guide questions
8. Developmental - program formed by a school based on a list of identified reading skills offered in different levels
9. Strategic - considered as a conventional way of reading
