How to Improve Reading Comprehension: Mapping Critical Areas for Pedagogical Interventions

Summary/Abstract: Literacy, in contemporary understanding, is a situational, complex competency embeddedin various social practices. It is therefore conceptualized as a multidimensional literacy encompassing numerous dimensions—linguistic, mathematical, scientific, political, economic, media, andothers. However, the development of multiple literacies is achievable only through the advancement oflinguistic literacy, which serves as both a mediator and a moderator for all other forms of literacy. Themost extensively researched aspect of linguistic literacy is reading comprehension, which underpins allmeaningful learning. The aim of this paper is to present, describe, and analyze the critical componentsthat must be included in educational interventions focused on developing reading comprehension. Whenthe criterion of focus is applied, empirical findings, support programs, and practical efforts to fosterreading comprehension cluster around several key factors: modification of the text itself from whichreading and learning occur; support for developing students’ cognitive competencies associated withreading; support for students’ personal and affective competencies; and effective reading activities within teaching, instructional situations, and teaching/learning methods. Each of these aspects of effectivepedagogical intervention is described, analyzed, and exemplified in this paper, with the conclusion thata synergistic approach is the most efficient way to develop literacy among children and youth.
