Beyond the Breakfast Table

When you read a newspaper article at the breakfast table then think, “Whatdid I just read?” it’s annoying. But what if the same was trueat work when you read an important document before a big meeting? Or whenyour boss asked for your opinion of written text on the spot? Surely youdon’t want to have to read something three times while he looks on!

Now imagine your child (or teen) going through the same thing at school.They read much slower than their classmates, or read quickly but haveno idea what they just read. This is a common problem – even among “good”readers — and it’s about weak reading comprehension. In fact,37 percent of fourth graders tested at “below basic” in theirreading skills and one out of four eighth graders is functionally illiterate!

So how can a smart kid be a good reader but have poor comprehension? It’ssimple: the reading skills we’re taught at a very young age are moreabout decoding, that is, putting the sounds together to understand thewords. But reading comprehension isn’t about learning HOW to readbut rather WHAT you’ve read.
