II. Read the following passage and answer the following questions from 61 to 70 by
choosing one answer A, B, C or D only.
Students read for a variety of reasons, but probably the most important reason students
read is to gain academic knowledge. Their goal is to learn and comprehend what they read.
To be successful, they must develop certain reading skills. However, some students meet
difficulty in comprehending and processing information taught by their teachers. This may be
for a variety of reasons. Often it is that they have never developed the proper learning
strategies necessary for comprehension. Therefore, their ability to read, learn, memorize and
recall information is impaired. Students then become discouraged from learning. There are,
however, a number of effective measures for those with reading comprehension difficulties.
Visual
Students respond well when oral or written information is presented to them in a visual
way. For example, when a skill or topic is both described and demonstrated at the same time,
it provides students with the means to associate the demonstration with the description. When
students are provided with a combination of visual, written and oral instruction, they can
better comprehend and process the information.
Participation
Passive listening and reading often result in the inability to process information because
students are not engaged or stimulated. One of the best remedies for this is for students to
participate in the topics they read about. Teachers can ask students to demonstrate what they
have learned, and give them feedback and praise.
Thinking Aloud
Students are encouraged in reading comprehension skills when they "think aloud." The
think-aloud strategy helps them to vocally express the material they are reading or the subject
they are learning about. It helps if students go through each step or take the subject one step
at a time. Talking while they think helps them to verbalize and better process the
information. Students can move from thinking aloud to whispering softly, and eventually
they will no longer require thinking aloud to comprehend. This is a gradual process that
equips students with the ability to think and process silently through a series of gradual
techniques.
Practice
Practice will help students give meaning to what they have been hearing or reading. Once
the teacher has provided them with the information, students can demonstrate what they have
learned through homework and in-class assignments. It is up to the teacher to assess the
difficulty of these assignments for students. Start off with easy assignments to complete so
students are encouraged, then gradually increase the complexity and difficulty over time.
Encourage students to read over their work and process what they have read to ensure they
are grasping all the pertinent information.
