This book makes an important contribution to existing knowledge on the
processes of reading and comprehension by identifying the various
approaches and corresponding theories. The book is organized in various
chapters that cumulatively lead to our entry into the three key areas.
Chapter One provides important background to reading as a skill,
explaining the hidden dynamics that avoid the process and outcome of
reading. Chapter Two deals with comprehension and vocabulary, both very
important aspects of the reading process, while Chapter Three focuses on
the relationship between reading, remembering and perception. Chapters
four and five deal with various ways of assessing comprehension and the
role of the reader respectively.
