Rewriting Activities Motivated by Levels of Reading Comprehension

- John Keats

Writing instruction can occur prolifically when a reading passage is used as a catalyst. Before students in a writing class can start assimilating ideas for an organized written form, reading renders a significant role. At this stage, the learners are expected to accumulate additional language understanding including vocabularies which are to be employed when they are task to assimilate garnered knowledge. The process of acquiring both language and information through designed activities may take place before reading, during reading or after reading centering to the chosen passage. Within these varied activities, comprehension questions are formulated to synthesize understanding of the text.

This model concentrates on the formulation of reading comprehension questions such as literal, interpretative and evaluative which are going to aid students' writing inputs out of an identified text. The questions formulated under these three types of understanding will be used as guides in rewriting paragraphs which are named as summarizing original ideas, interpretative writing, and passage evaluation writing.

The literal comprehension questions generate answers that are evidently expressed in the passage which likewise test the capability of the students to understand major vocabularies that are used in a given passage. This type of questions can similarly test the students on how to dissect the main idea, cite, classify, list, or point out factual information; sequence how details occur in the passage, describe similarities and differences, and outline ideas, among other skills in the literal level.

Moreover, interpretative comprehension questions produce answers as results of thorough reading and scrutinizing facts to establish the associations of implicit details. This type of questions will enable the students some skills such as to figure out abstract ideas represented by words, phrases or even sentences; create conclusions, define reason and result connections, figure out inner main ideas, and identify the central meaning incorporated in the text.

The third is critical level comprehension questions that lead readers to evaluate or critic details intensified by the knowledge acquired from literal and interpretative levels. Critical questions will task readers to weigh and consider if the ideas are facts or opinions, express agreement or disagreement, identify the purpose and style of the writer, analyze paragraph development and even techniques that are employed in the passage and other skills that imply critical abilities.

Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced. – John Keats Writing instruction can occur prolifically when a reading passage is used as a catalyst.
