Conceptual Clarifications on Whatness and Howness of ReadingComprehension

Abstract

This paper examines the concept of reading comprehension using different
approaches otherwise known as interactive approach. In the paper attempt has
been made to inform the reader that reading comprehension is a complex and
diversified activity requiring that the reader pay attention to so many variables
especially textual resources and how they are organized in the text for it to be
textual material. The paper also draws attention to the fact that when words do not
always retain their grammatical class whenever they are used in a text, their
meanings change according to the context they appear. The paper also developed
what is called assistive technology pointing out the uses to which words can be
assigned.
