[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think reading must include reading comprehension. In order to say we have sincerely read something, [b]we have to have derived meaning from, it[/b]. Otherwise, you are simply decoding, and not reading. In other words, when we read, it has to make sense, otherwise we’re not really reading. Many children are decoders, not readers.[/quote] Do you think that these kids who are reading (or "reading") and enjoying the books are not deriving meaning from them? They have favorite books that they read and reread, they laugh at the funny parts, they use a word they learned from the book, they act out the stories, they encounter something in real life and say, "Oh, this is like in the book when..." -- but because they can't explain about the author's intent or describe the setting, they're not deriving meaning from them?
