Levels Of Comprehension

Tracy Said:

Kristina Said:

what are the different levels of comprehension?

We Answered:

The most famous chart that details these levels of comprehension was created by an educational psychologist named Benjamin Bloom, in 1956. The levels were as follows: (from lowest level to highest)

Knowledge
Comprehension
Application
Analysis
Synthesis
Evaluation

This listing was known as Bloom's Taxonomy. In the 1990's this list was updated by Lorin Anderson (a former student of Bloom's) to reflect newer understandings of psychology and make it more relevant to the 21st century. The new taxonomy is as follows:

Remembering: can the student recall or remember the information?

Understanding: can the student explain ideas or concepts?

Applying: can the student use the information in a new way?


Analyzing: can the student distinguish between the different parts?

Evaluating: can the student justify a stand or decision?

Creating: can the student create new product or point of view?

More information on this can be found at the link below or by using a search engine and inputting the term- Bloom's Taxonomy

Marsha Said:

How do I improve my Reading Comprehension levels?

We Answered:

.To answer your question, you can't read 700-800 words per minutes because I assume that the average rate is less than 220. I mean that's impossible unless you can talk like Fred from Youtube. Still, it will be impossible to read 700-800 words per minutes. You must meat 700 letters, hmmm! Try to read less words per minutes and you'll do good ? Joke. One thing that you can do is to read more and try to understand every paragraph that you've read.

Casey Said:

what are the levels of comprehension?

We Answered:

Comprehension is the complex cognitive process involving the intentional interaction between reader and text to extract meaning. This means using your brain to think when reading text to understand meaning.
Sometimes when you read, you may not understand the vocabulary and passages or the topic, the syntactic structures and sentence types- you have a low or lower level of comprehension than someone who does understand the meaning of the text when reading.
The second website link gives more detail. Think of it as the difference between snorkelling and scuba diving. The more you understand, the more complex reading you are doing- you are scuba diving more so than snorkelling. Most teachers are looking for you to scuba dive, have a deep understanding than snorkelling which is less understanding than scuba diving.

Good luck.
