Importance of Reading comprehension in Non-Linguistic subject matter learning

Importance of reading comprehension

     The person who does not read the right books has no advantage over the person who can't read at all. Knowing how to read is very important for learning. 

     Comprehension means the action of understanding. Reading comprehension in non-linguistic subjects indicates the understanding of what is being communicated and translated with the means of verbal and in some cases non-verbal means, interpreting specific terms, signs, conventions.

     Reading comprehension plays a crucial role in non-linguistic subject matter for the following reasons-

1. Reading comprehension encourages the learner to become active, constructive, and potentially autonomous learning.
2. It helps to understand subject-specific vocabulary for learning a particular topic.
3. It provides sufficient scope for introspection and self-evaluation.
4. Reading comprehension develops curiosity to learn something.
5. It helps to understand subject-specific competence and discourse competence.
6. It helps to integrate new information in a non-linguistic context with existing knowledge.
7. It helps the students to learn to recognize specific terms, words, letters simply.
8. This skill opens the doors of opportunity in all directions, doors that will not be visible normally unless you are a very good reader, writer, and communicator.
9. If one does not become proficient in this skill, one will find it very difficult to communicate with others as well as find it difficult to communicate with oneself.
10. If one can't read at a decent level of comprehension, one will not have access to most of the world's accumulated knowledge and information that are mostly in the text format.
11. The more quality words that one has in one's vocabulary and the more words that one can comprehend, the more potential one will have and the more one will understand.
12. It helps to interpret difficult words and terms of non-linguistic subjects.
