What is a Proficient Reader?
According to the University of New England, “proficient readers know what and when they are comprehending and when they are not comprehending; they can identify their purposes for reading and identify the demands placed on them by a particular text. They can identify when and why the meaning of the text is unclear to them, and can use a variety of strategies to solve comprehension problems or deepen their understanding of a text” (Duffy et al. 1987; Paris, Cross, and Lipson, 1984). Good readers are meta-cognitive; they think about their thinking!
