What is a Reading Comprehension Skill?
Reading comprehension skills are an extension of the function
(purpose and language) of a text’s structure.
Reading comprehension skills create a vehicle that allows students to
construct meaning within a specific genre structure. 1
Text Structure
The Common Core State Standards require
students to recognize text structures that are
specific to genre on a continuum of increasing
complexity.2
Text Structure is a qualitative measure on the
CCSS
Text Complexity Continuum.
1“Students
who are taught to identify the structure of expository and narrative text have been found to have better
comprehension than students who have not received such instruction.” (Taylor, 1992)
2“Students
must be able to read and comprehend independently and proficiently the kinds of complex texts commonly
found in college and careers.”
