    What is Reading? An Excerpt from


    Reading for Understanding by
    Christine Cziko
    Reading is not just a basic skill.

    1.

    It is not just a skill that is taught once and for all in


    the first years of school.

    Reading is a complex process.

    2.

    It involves relating to existing knowledge,


    understanding the context, and having internal
    conversation with the author.

    Reading is problem solving.

    3.

    It requires making sense of a text not just from


    words on the page but also from ideas, memories,
    and knowledge evoked by the words and sentences.

    Fluent reading is not the same as decoding.

    4.

    Reading is situationally-bounded.

    6.

    Fluency grows as readers have opportunities,


    support, and encouragement to read a wide range
    of text types from a range of topics.
    A person who understands one type of text is not
    necessarily proficient at reading all types.

    Proficient readers share some key


    characteristics.
