TEXTO III

Ways that good readers read during printed text reading have been richly documented. The bottom line in this research is that good readers are highly active and strategic when reading. Often from the minute they look at the text, they are making predictions about it, drawing from a range of prior knowledge about text, the content, and so on. As they read, they revisit these predictions and make new ones. They are “selectively attentive” with the text, for example reading more slowly when important information is encountered (Pressley & Afflerbach, 1995, p. 79). They are constantly evaluating whether they are comprehending and whether the text is meeting their needs. If they note that comprehension has broken down, they employ strategies, such as rereading, to “fix up” the situation. They work to paraphrase and summarize what they are reading. They ask themselves questions, create mental images, and make a broad range of inferences that draw extensively but judiciously on their prior knowledge. They critique and evaluate the text itself, often having strong affective responses to the text. In short, a great deal is going on in the minds of good readers, much of it highly strategic in nature (Pressley & Afflerbach, 1995). This portrayal of strategic activity sits in sharp contrast to behaviors observed in poor and developing readers who may take a passive approach to text. For instance, poor readers do not identify particular information as important, do not monitor their comprehension or employ strategies when comprehension breaks down, use fewer comprehension strategies in general and less effectively, bring less and less relevant prior knowledge to bear, and take an uncritical stance toward text (Duke, Pressley, & Hilden, 2004).
