Purpose of reading
Comprehension
Fluent reading
Reading at an appropriate rate with adequate comprehension.
Bottom-up reading
Ss recognize a multiplicity of linguistic signals ( letters, morphemes, syllables, words, phrases, grammar cues, discourse markers.)
Data-driven/ moving from parts to the whole
+) intensive reading / a graded reader apporach
Top-down reading
Drawing on our background kn to understand the text.
Ss “make predictions” based on background kn.
Ss search the text to confirm or reject the predictions that are made.
Meaning-based approach
Conceptually-driven
Whole-lg approach
Extensive reading
(Ss need to “inference” the answer by drawing on content schemata.)
The T should focus on meaning-generating activities rather than on mastery of word recognition.
content schemata
general world kn.
socio-cultural kn.
topic kn.
formal schemata
rhetorical kn ( difference in genre, structure of fables, poetry) discourse kn.
Intensive reading
a short reading passage followed by textbook activities to develop comprehension and/or particular reading skill.
Ss are taught reading skills, vocab, and phonological instruction through short reading passage followed by reading comprehension exercises.
(Bottom-up approach)
A graded reader approach
All reading material is carefully reviewed so that Ss are not exposed to vocab that is too difficult or that contains sounds that they’ve not yet been introduced to.
Extensive reading
Reading many books for enjoyment or information w/o focusing on classroom exercise.
Reading w/o looking up all the unknown words.
Reading in quantity

Readers are exposed to a wide range of vocab.
(Top-down)
Whole language approach
S-centered
Individual readers choose what they want to read.
(Top-down)
Interactive model / 이것의 implication
a combination of (Bottom up and Top down)
