Reading skills enable readers to turn writing into meaning and achieve the goals of independence, comprehension, and fluency.

Reading skills are specific abilities which enable a reader

• to read the written form as meaningful language

• to read anything written with independence, comprehension and fluency, and

• to mentally interact with the message.

Here are some kinds of reading skills:

• Word attack skills let the reader figure out new words.

• Comprehension skills help the reader predict the next word, phrase, or sentence quickly enough to speed recognition.

• Fluency skills help the readers see larger segments, phrases, and groups of words as wholes.

• Critical reading skills help the reader see the relationship of ideas and use these in reading with meaning and fluency.

• What are literacy skils?
