Reading Comprehension -- a MisUnderstood Issue. Even the Teachers have Misunderstood!

Nov. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Jeanette Kasper, http://readtoyourpotential.com, a leading expert in reading comprehension and training struggling readers to read easily revealed, “It’s time we separate fact from fiction, and myths from truths. The real story here is you understand what you read just fine. The problem is: you aren’t focused, and you can’t REMEMBER what you read!" Mrs. Kasper says, “If you get to the end of a passage and you say to yourself, “I didn’t understand a thing I just read!" think again! Are you sure reading comprehension is the issue?

As proof, Jeanette Kasper asks adults and children who struggle with reading to consider these four areas before deciding that you struggle with read because you can’t understand what you read.

•   Comprehension occurs DURING reading. Retention occurs AFTER the reading is finished.

•   Did you UNDERSTAND what you are reading WHILE you were reading it? Then your comprehension is 100%!

•   BUT you just can’t REMEMBER what you read when you’re done?? Then you aren’t RETAINING. We’ll work on your memory!

•   Do you give your head a shake and think, “Oh yeah, I was reading!” That’s not a Comprehension issue, that’s FOCUS!
