1.3 Discuss three factors that may influence reading comprehension. In your discussion,
explain how they influence reading comprehension. (9)
Reading comprehension is a complex cognitive process influenced by various factors. Here
are three key factors that can significantly impact reading comprehension and how they
influence it:
Vocabulary Knowledge:
Influence on Reading Comprehension: Vocabulary is the foundation of
comprehension. A reader's ability to understand a text relies heavily on their
vocabulary knowledge. When encountering unfamiliar words, readers may struggle to
grasp the meaning of sentences or passages.
How it Influences: Limited vocabulary can lead to misinterpretation, hinder the ability
to infer context, and slow down reading speed. On the other hand, a rich vocabulary
enables readers to comprehend texts more effortlessly by instantly recognizing and
comprehending words, phrases, and their meanings.
Background Knowledge:
Influence on Reading Comprehension: A reader's prior knowledge and experiences
greatly affect how they understand and interpret a text. If a reader is unfamiliar with
the topic or lacks relevant background knowledge, comprehension can suffer.
