Reading

This chapter builds Reading as active meaning construction from written text for CTET Paper 2 Language I/II pedagogy. It covers definition beyond decoding, silent versus loud reading, pleasure versus information reading, core components, bottom-up/top-down/interactive models, skimming/scanning/intensive/extensive/critical types, pre-while-post stages and strategies, barriers with remediation clues, unseen-passage assessment, NCF/NEP/NCF-SE and CCE/SBA context, and high-frequency exam traps — kept strictly on Reading as skill for Classes VI-VIII.
