Curiosity and Comprehension
Curiosity
Most people have an innate curiosity about things and
ideas, people and events. When they read stories,
especially those concerning crime, love, or adventure,
they not only want to find out what is happening or has
happened, but they generally make some kind of guess
as to what is likely to happen next.
Where there is no such curiosity on the part of the
reader, a detective story becomes a pointless tale of
violence that few intelligent people would take the
trouble to read.
A “discovery” approach
Learners guess or discover what will happen next.
The teacher should train students in imaginative
thinking as much as in language skills, but it is surely
wrong to dissociate the two faculties of thought and
speech.
Types of reading:
There are six main types of
comprehension strategies:
Students quickly grasp how to make connections,
ask questions, and visualize. However, they often
struggle with the way to identify what is most
important in the text, identify clues and evidence
to make inferences, and combine information into
new thoughts.
All these strategies should be modeled in isolation
many times so that students get a firm grasp of what
the strategy is and how it helps them comprehend text.
In fact, only women teachers take classes of girls and
male teachers for boys.
