The Reading Process PDF

The reading process involves three phases: before, during, and after reading. In the before reading phase, the reader establishes a purpose and plan. During reading, the reader thinks about their purpose and prior knowledge while reading and taking short pauses. In the after reading phase, the reader thinks about what they knew before and learned after, linking this information to build new knowledge. Throughout, reading strategies during reading can improve comprehension.

The Reading Process

Reading is a process that includes three phases: before reading, during reading and after reading. In the
before-reading phase, the reader establishes in his or her mind a purpose and a plan for reading.

Then, the reader begins to read the written text—the during-reading phase. While he or she reads, the
reader will think about the purpose for reading and about his or her prior knowledge. This may occur during
short pauses taken while reading.

Finally, the after-reading phase of the process occurs when the reader finishes reading the written text. The
reader takes time to think about what he or she knew before the reading and what he or she learned or
connected with during the reading, and then he or she links this information together to build new
knowledge.

Throughout the reading process, but specifically in the during-reading phase, reading strategies can be useful
to improve comprehension.
