Reading | Cloze Comprehension

Comprehension strategies help the reader understand and learn more about what is happening in the text as well as improve their reading skills. The different reading strategies are activating prior knowledge, predicting, inferring, summarising, questioning, synthesising, making connections and self-monitoring.

Before reading, predicting, questioning, activating prior knowledge help the reader get an idea of what the text might be about. 

While reading, predicting, inferring, questioning, making connections, synthesising, self-monitoring and activating prior knowledge help the reader build an understanding of the text or topic.

After reading, questioning, summarising, synthesising can help the reader share their knowledge of the text or expand their knowledge of the book.

Having a good understanding of the different reading comprehension strategies is important because the reader can use the strategies to improve their reading skills. The reader can also gain a good understanding of the text.
