  • It is very important to know the key features of reading. These are as follows:

    Decoding: translate written words into sounds, recognition of familiar words automatically

    Comprehension: understanding meaning of words and sentences, grasping  the literal meaning and infer deeper meanings, understand context, and interpret the text’s purpose

    Fluency: reading the text smoothly and accurately with proper expression. Fluency allows the reader to focus on meaning rather than just the words themselves

    Vocabulary: as readers encounter new words, they build their language skills, improving their ability to grasp more complex material

    Critical Thinking: the ability to analyze, evaluate, and question the information presented - crucial for navigating real-world information, such as news articles or scientific reports

    Engagement and Interpretation: interacting with the text—asking questions, making predictions, visualizing scenarios, and relating it to personal experiences. This makes the reading experience richer and more meaningful
