Theoretical Model of Reading Brief

Compleete Theoretical Model of Reading
Reading is a complex process. It involves visual acuity in discerning printed letters, identifying these letters as the components of words, and interpreting the meaning of these words. It employs the readers’ psycholinguistic strategies (making inferences and predictions), and metacognitive strategies (selective attention, skimming, gist, previewing, sequencing, attending to details) to connect the visual information into existing schemata of knowledge. The reading process remains hard to explore using completely empirical methods because of its reliance on the metacognitive and psycholinguistic strategies. Because of this inherent ambiguity of the reading process, there have been no less than three theoretical models that have been developed to explain the process. These are the bottom-up, top-down, and interactive / psycholinguistic models.
