Types of comprehension skills: Fluency Decoding Reasoning Cohesion Memory Vocabulary
Fluency Fluency can be described as the ability to rapidly recognise words, even if one can’t sound those words out yet. By working on fluency, anyone reading a text can effortlessly read at a good pace, ultimately allowing them to understand the text faster.
Decoding Decoding is the ability to use one’s knowledge of letter-sound relationships to correctly pronounce or sound out a specific word/s. An effective strategy for strengthening your decoding skills is reading rhyming texts, as you’ll then know which letters or words sound the same, ultimately strengthening your phonetic skills.
Reasoning Reasoning and being able to read between the lines of a text is a fantastic comprehension skill to have, especially for more complicated texts that may require you to come to your own conclusions.
Cohesion Cohesion is the ability to link different ideas and information in a text to ultimately form or identify the bigger picture. This comprehension skill is incredibly important, as being able to link information to conclude certain ideas allows readers to gain more insight or meaning into what the reading material entails.
Memory Although some may not think that memory is a part of comprehension skills, there are several benefits and reasons why memory is a pivotal aspect of comprehension. More often than not, many books will state something important at some point in the text, and state something later in the text that links or resonates with the point made earlier in the book.
Vocabulary Improving your vocabulary is one of the primary focuses of strengthening your comprehension skills. Having a strong vocabulary allows readers to read through texts more effortlessly and fluently.
