According to akmar mohammad 12 December 1999 Teachers need to be aware that there are actually three main levels or strands of comprehension--literal, interpretive and critical comprehension. • The first level, literal comprehension, is the most obvious. Comprehension at this level involves surface meanings. At this level, teachers can ask students to find information and ideas that are explicitly stated in the text. In addition, it is also appropriate to test vocabulary. According to Karlin(1971), "being able to read for literal meanings ie stated ideas is influenced by one's mastery of word meanings in context'. • The second level or strand is interpretive or referential comprehension. At this level, students go beyond what is said and read for deeper meanings. They must be able to read critically and analyse carefully what they have read. Students need to be able to see relationships among ideas, for exmple how ideas go together and also see the implied meanings of these ideas. It is also obvious that before our students can do this, they have to first understand the ideas that are stated (literal comprehension). Interpretive or referential comprehension includes thinking processes such as drawing conclusions, making generalizations and predicting outcomes. At this level, teachers can ask more challenging questions such as asking students to do the following: • Re-arrange the ideas or topics discussed in the text. • Explain the author's purpose of writing the text. • Summarize the main idea when this is not explicitly stated in the text. • Select conclusions which can be deduced from the text t!hey have read. • Finally, the third level of comprehension is critical reading whereby ideas and information are evaluated. Critical evaluation occurs only after our students have understood the ideas and information that the writer has presented. At this level, students can be tested on the following skills: • The ability to differentiate between facts and opinions. • The ability to recognize persuasive statements . • The ability to judge the accuracy of the information given in the text.
It can be conclude: Dividing comprehension into literal, referential and critical strands is only intended as a guide for teachers when preparing reading assessments. Studies have shown that teachers tend to ask their students mainly literal comprehension questions. They need to be aware that there is more to reading than just the basic skills of reading and recalling information.

Reading is a thinking activity. By now you have read this several times... is it sinking in? This process involves getting meaning from the printed word or symbol. College instructors will expect that you, as a college student, will be able to read at all levels of meaning or comprehension. In this case, LEVELS mean different depths of understanding, different analysis of what is meant. In other words, you will be expected to read at different levels of comprehension.
3 Different Levels of Comprehension: Literal Level The first level of comprehension can be called the literal level for the sake of wording because it is the most simple. At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer the question: Question: What did the author say? At this level, you would not have to understand the true meaning of a paragraph, however, you could memorize the information. Instructors might ask you to read a chapter dealing with dates or specific facts. At the literal level, you would memorize these dates and facts. However, even though you have memorized these facts, this does not mean that you necessarily understand their full meaning or see the implication of these dates and facts applied to other situations. At the literal level, you are looking at what was written by an author at “face value”, little interpretation is needed.
Interpretive Level At the interpretive level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: What was meant by what was said? At this level, you are attempting to understand what the author meant by what s/he said in the story, paragraph or textbook. It is presumed that you have already memorized certain facts at the literal level and now you are attempting to see the implications of the author’s words. At this level, you are attempting to “read between the lines.” as they say. At this level you are attempting to understand that which you memorized at the literal level of comprehension. Perhaps a teacher might ask you, “How did King Henry VIII wield his power as King of England?” This new question about “how” he wielded his power would force you to understand more than the date that he became King. Do you see this dramatic difference?
Applied Level At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: How would the author’s message apply to other situations given what you memorized and understood at the other two levels? At this level, you are attempting to elevate or raise your thinking one more “notch” or level to a more critical, analyzing level. This presumes that you have already reached the previous two levels. At this level, you are “reading between the lines” and then examining the message from the author and attempting to apply that message to other settings. For example, How does power affect a person?
In this pretend scenario from history, a student started at the literal level memorizing dates from history. At the interpretive level, the student would have examined the implications of those dates...what else was going on, what impact King Henry might have had on England, on the politics of the time, etc. At the applied level, the student has now spent a fair amount of time building his/her learning curve and is now more able to see the larger implications of people who either are born “powerful” by their lineage of birth or have assumed power like someone elected into office. Either way, if an instructor asks you to write an essay explaining how people are affected (controlled or influenced) by power and you responded appropriately...you would be at the applied level of comprehension.
According to Kathleen (2003) There are three levels of comprehension, LITERAL what is actually stated. INTERPRETIVE what is implied or meant, rather than what is actually stated. APPLIED - taking what was said (literal) and then what was meant by what was said (interpretive) and then extend (apply) the concepts or ideas beyond the situation.
Furthermore, According to Natalie (2012): There are four noted levels of reading comprehension. The four levels are Literal, which is what is actually stated, Interpretive or Inferential, which is what is implied, Applied or Evaluative, which is when what was meant by what was stated is actually applied to concepts or ideas that go beyond what was discussed, and the final level, Appreciative, which is more abstract and based on a deeper understanding of the material in question.
From the definition it can be assumed that levels of reading comprehension, divided into three term: stated, implied, and applicable.

According to James H. Berry (2005), There are three different levels of comprehension can be called the literal level, the interpretive level and the applied level. Let’s examine what each means briefly.
1. Literal Level The first level of comprehension can be called the literal level for the sake of wording because it is the most simple. At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer the question: Question: What did the author say? At this level, you would not have to understand the true meaning of a paragraph, however, you could memorize the information. Instructors might ask you to read a chapter dealing with dates or specific facts. At the literal level, you would memorize these dates and facts. However, even though you have memorized these facts, this does not mean that you necessarily understand their full meaning or see the implication of these dates and facts applied to other situations. At the literal level, you are looking at what was written by an author at “face value”, little interpretation is needed.
2. Interpretive Level The second level of comprehension is called the interpretive level. At the interpretive level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: What was meant by what was said? At this level, you are attempting to understand what the author meant by what s/he said in the story, paragraph or textbook. It is presumed that you have already memorized certain facts at the literal level and now you are attempting to see the implications of the author’s words. At this level, you are attempting to “read between the lines.” as they say. At this level, you are attempting to understand that which you memorized at the literal level of comprehension
3. Applied LeveL The last level is called the applied level. At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: How would the author’s message apply to other situations given what you and memorized understood at the other two levels? At this level, you are attempting to elevate or raise your thinking one more “notch” or level to a more critical, analyzing level. This presumes that you have already reached the previous two levels. At this level, you are “reading between the lines” and then examining the message from the author and attempting to apply that message to other settings.
From the definition it can be assumed that reading comprehension levels have three Levels : 1. Literal level : The readers is only given a paragraph of information in them without fully understanding the meaning or implication in paragrap 2. Interpretive Level : The readers trying to understand what is read and understood what the author says in the text is to memorize the literal level of comprehension. 3. Applied Level : The readers understand the message author and reader that the author tries to apply the message to other settings.

According to James H. Berry (2005), there are three levels of reading comprehension: 1. Level One, it is usually called LITERAL LEVEL which is discuss about what was written by the author at “face value”, little interpretation is needed. 2. Level Two, it is usually called INTERPRETIVE LEVEL which is discuss about Seeing what the author has implied in his/her written work or what the instructor has said is like trying to understand what they meant even though they did not directly state it! 3. Level Three, it is usually called APPLIED LEVEL which is discuss about How would the author’s message apply to other situations given what you memorized and understood at the other two levels?
It is same as what Kathleen (2003) was said: there are three levels of reading comprehension: 1. Level One, it is usually called LITERAL LEVEL which is discuss about what is actually stated. In this level, Common questions used to illicit this type of thinking are who, what, when, and where questions. 2. Level Two, it is usually called INTERPRETIVE LEVEL which is discuss about what is implied or meant, rather than what is actually stated. In this level, the types of questions asked are open-ended, thought-provoking questions like why, what if, and how. 3. Level Three, it is usually called APPLIED LEVEL which is discuss about taking what was said (literal) and then what was meant by what was said (interpretive) and then extend (apply) the concepts or ideas beyond the situation. In this level, the readers are analyzing or synthesizing information and applying it to other information.
From two definitions, it is clear that there are three levels of reading comprehension: 1. LITERAL LEVEL In this level, by reading a text the reader should be able to answer these basic questions; “who, what, when, and where”.
2. INTERPRETIVE LEVEL In this level, by reading a text the reader should be able to answer these basic questions;” why, what if, and how”.
3. APPLIED LEVEL In this level, by reading a text the reader should be able to analyze or synthesize information and apply it to other information.

According to James H. Berry (2005) that level mean different depths of understanding, different analysis of what is meant. These three level of comprehension can be called the literal level, the interpretive level and the applied level.
•Literal level (what is actually stated)
The literal level for the sake of wording because it is the most simple. At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer the question: Question: What did the author say?. At this level, the readers would not have to understand the true meaning of a paragraph, however, the readers could memorize the information.
•Interpretive level (what is implied or meant, rather than what is actually stated)
At the interpretive level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: What was meant by what was said?. At this level, the readers are attempting to understand what the author meant by what s/he said in the story, paragraph or textbook.
•Applied level
At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: How would the author’s message apply to other situations given what you memorized and understood at the other two levels?. At this level, the readers are attempting to elevate or raise readers thinking one more “notch” or level to a more critical, analyzing level. This presumes that the readers have already reached the previous two levels.
It can be concluded that reading comprehension level divided into three, there are : literal level, what is actually stated. Memorization and Surface understanding only. In this category are objective tests. So, interpretive level (what is implied or meant, rather than what is actually stated), making conclusion what the readers understand from the text. In this category are subjective tests. And the last, applied level. In this level we are analyzing or synthesizing information and applying it to other information.

Arina Lailatul Fitria (35) According to Akmar Mohamad (1999), Reading comprehension level is read the text and reader can be able to find meaning in what is read. Thus, the teachers give their students reading assessments in order to test their reading abilities. And there are three level, are: first, literal comprehension, is the most obvious. Comprehension at this level involves surface meanings. At this level, teachers can ask students to find information and ideas that are explicitly stated in the text. Second, interpretive or referential comprehension. At this level, students go beyond what is said and read for deeper meanings. They must be able to read critically and analyse carefully what they have read. Students need to be able to see relationships among ideas, for exmple how ideas go together and also see the implied meanings of these ideas. It is also obvious that before our students can do this, they have to first understand the ideas that are stated (literal comprehension). Interpretive or referential comprehension includes thinking processes such as drawing conclusions, making generalizations and predicting outcomes. And the last level is critical reading whereby ideas and information are evaluated. Critical evaluation occurs only after our students have understood the ideas and information that the writer has presented. At this level, students can be tested on the following skills: The ability to differentiate between facts and opinions, the ability to recognize persuasive statements, the ability to judge the accuracy of the information given in the text. So from the definition, it can be conclude that reading comprehension level is ), ” Reading comprehension level is understanding a text that is read, or the process of "constructing meaning" from a text. "Construction process" it means that involves all of the elements of the reading process working together as a text is read to create a representation of the text in the reader's mind. And the first step teacher ask the student to look for the idea and information that are distinctly stated in the text (first level), than the student must understand to make a summary or conclusion about the text (second level), the last, the student can be able to establish between the fact and opinion from the text (third level).”

Reading Comprehension Level According to Cuesta (2003), there are three levels of comprehension. Level one, LITERAL what is actually stated which focus on the facts and detail, rote learning and memorization, and surface understanding only. It can be said that this level of understanding usually tested through objective test which dealing with true/false, multiple choice and fiil in the blanks question. Furthermore, Cuesta said that common questions used to illicit this level of thinking are who, what, when, and where questions.
Level two, INTERPRETIVE what is implied or meant, rather than what is actually stated. Focus on the ability of drawing inferences, tapping into prior knowledge, making logical leaps and educated guesses, and reading between lines to determine what is meant by what is stated. It’s assumed that on this level the readers need to know exactly what they have read about, not only stated it, because in this level the readers are invited to think more about everything that have got from reading. Then, Cuesta suggests to give provoking questions like why, what if, and how to tested to the reader who stay in this level. Moreover she said that the tyoe of the questions are open ended question which falls into subjective test category.
Level three is APPLIED, taking what was said (literal) and then what was meant by what was said (interpretive) and then extend (apply) the concepts or ideas beyond the situation. In this level, readers need to analyze, synthesize, and apply the text. It’s implied that in applied level, the readers are analyzing or synthesizing information and applying it to other information. It’s the hard level in reading comprehension because the readers need to comoprehend everything about the text and then they need to apply it by connecting to the other information that will support their comprehension in reading.

According to Berry (2005) define that there are three different levels of comprehension can be called the literal level, the interpretive level and the applied level. The first level of comprehension can be called the literal level for the sake of wording because it is the most simple. It can be assumed that students would not have to understand the true meaning of a paragraph, however, students could memorize the information. Students read a chapter dealing with dates or specific facts. At the literal level, students would memorize these dates and facts. The point of all of this is that at the literal level of comprehension, students are at the most basic of levels. The second level of comprehension is called the interpretive level. At the interpretive level the reader or student can attempt to understand what the author meant by what s/he said in the story, paragraph or textbook. It is presumed that reader have already memorized certain facts at the literal level and then reader are attempting to see the implications of the author’s words. The last level is called the applied level. At this level the reader or student can attempt to elevate or raise reader’s thinking one more “notch” or level to a more critical, analyzing level. It can be assumed that reader have already reached the previous two levels. At this level, readers are “reading between the lines” and then examining the message from the author and attempting to apply that message to other settings.

According to mohamad (1999) said that The first level, literal comprehension, is the most obvious. Comprehension at this level involves surface meanings. The second level or strand is interpretive or referential comprehension. At this level, students go beyond what is said and read for deeper meanings. Finally, the third level of comprehension is critical reading whereby ideas and information are evaluated. It can be assumed that in the first level is the level of reading comprehension of the readers where the readers are able to know the literal meaning of the text by understand the meaning of each word. Second level is explained that the reader are able to know the meaning of the text, but not only that the reader, can interpret what the writer of the text want to conveyed from the text, then the reader also can make a conclusion of the text that the reader has read. The third level , is the level of reading comprehension, where the reader not only can understand the meaning, interpret the main ides, but they can make pass a test of the reading text that the readers have read.

James H. Berry (2005) Levels of reading comprehension There are three levels of comprehension can be called the literal level, the interpretive level and the applied level. 1. Literal level The first level of comprehension can be called the literal level for the sake of wording because it is the most simple. At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer the question: Question: What did the author say? .The reader must understand the true meaning of paragraph; however the reader can memorize the information. At the literal level, the reader would memorize these dates and facts. However, even though readers have memorized these facts, this does not mean that reader necessarily understand their full meaning or see the implication of these dates and facts applied to other situations 2. Interpretive Level At the interpretive level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: What was meant by what was said? At this level, the readers are attempting to understand what the author meant by what s/he said in the story, paragraph or textbook. It is presumed that the readers have already memorized certain facts at the literal level and now readers are attempting to see the implications of the author’s words. 3. Applied Level At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: How would the author’s message apply to other situations given what you memorized and understood at the other two levels? At this level, readers are attempting to elevate or raise reader’s thinking one more “notch” or level to a more critical, analyzing level. At this level, readers are “reading between the lines” and then examining the message from the author and attempting to apply that message to other settings.

Name : Ferbawanti. S (47) According to Berry (2005), there are three different levels of reading comprehension. These three different levels of comprehension can be called as the literal level, the interpretive level and the applied level. 1. Literal Level The first level of comprehension can be called the literal level for the sake of wording because it is the most simple. At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer the question: Question: What did the author say? At this level, you would not have to understand the true meaning of a paragraph, however, you could memorize the information. Instructors might ask you to read a chapter dealing with dates or specific facts. At the literal level, you would memorize these dates and facts. However, even though you have memorized these facts, this does not mean that you necessarily understand their full meaning or see the implication of these dates and facts applied to other situations. At the literal level, you are looking at what was written by an author at “face value”, little interpretation is needed. 2. Interpretive Level The second level of comprehension is called the interpretive level. At the interpretive level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: What was meant by what was said? At this level, the readers are attempting to understand what the author meant by what s/he said in the story, paragraph or textbook. It is presumed that you have already memorized certain facts at the literal level and now you are attempting to see the implications of the author’s words. At this level, you are attempting to “read between the lines.” as they say. At this level, you are attempting to understand that which you memorized at the literal level of comprehension.
3. Applied Level The last level is called the applied level. At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: How would the author’s message apply to other situations given what you memorized and understood at the other two levels? At this level, you are attempting to elevate or raise your thinking one more “notch” or level to a more critical, analyzing level. This presumes that you have already reached the previous two levels. At this level, you are “reading between the lines” and then examining the message from the author and attempting to apply that message to other settings.
From the passages above, can be concluded that : There are three levels of reading comprehension, literal, interpretive and applied level. Literal level is a level in which the readers are trying to understand what did the author say in the text. Interpretive level is a level in which the readers are trying to understand the implications of the text or what the author meant in the text. And applied level is a level in which the readers already reached the previous two levels and they are trying to apply the author’s message to other settings.

Nama :irma damayanti Atteendance number :52 READING COMPREHENSION LEVELS Cuesta College (2004)defined reading comprehension levels into three levels,they are : 1.LITERAL - what is actually stated. • Facts and details • Rote learning and memorization • Surface understanding only 2.INTERPRETIVE - what is implied or meant, rather than what is actually stated. • Drawing inferences • Tapping into prior knowledge / experience • Attaching new learning to old information • Making logical leaps and educated guesses • Reading between the lines to determine what is meant by what is stated. 3.APPLIED - taking what was said (literal) and then what was meant by what was said (interpretive) and then extend (apply) the concepts or ideas beyond the situation. • Analyzing • Synthesizing • Applying
from the definition it can be assummed that,there are three levels of reading comprehension,for the first level reading is reading stated the text based on the fact and detail,learning by memorization.and the second level is reading the text not only by what is stated in the text but also what is implied in the text. and for the last level is the level when the reader apply the ideas by analyzing based on the situation.

The explanation of the reading comprehension levels : 1. Literal level this level, the reader would not have to understand the true meaning of a paragraph, however, the reader could memorize the information. Instructors might ask the reader to read a chapter dealing with dates or specific facts. At the literal level, the reader would memorize these dates and facts. 2. Interpretive level At this level, the reader are attempting to understand what the author meant by what she/he said in the story, paragraph or textbook. It is presumed that the reader have already memorized certain facts at the literal level and now the reader are attempting to see the implications of the author’s words. 3.

Reading Comprehension level: According to Math Media Educational (1993), there are three levels of reading comprehension. Level 1: Beginning and intermediate readers will think about word meanings and proper sequencing of thoughts through beginning reading comprehension exercises. This program includes on-demand audio to aide early readers. This critical thinking program is good for young students as well as adults who are learning English and the nuances of the English language. Level 2: Expands upon the topics in Level 1 with more challenging questions. The reading level advances progressively from elementary to intermediate level including summarizing and organizing Level 3: Expands on the topics learned in Level 2 and extends that learning to reading challenging topics in history, and literature. The reading level is for intermediate to advanced readers. from the explanation above it can be assume that there are three levels of reading comprehension. The first focus on word meaning and proper sequence, second expand on the topic includes sumarizing and organizing, third reading challenging history. References: Adopted from. MathMedia Educational.

According to Berry (2005), there are three different levels of reading comprehension. These three different levels of comprehension can be called as the literal level, the interpretive level and the applied level.
1. Literal Level The first level of comprehension can be called the literal level for the sake of wording because it is the most simple. At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer the question: What did the author say? At this level, you would not have to understand the true meaning of a paragraph, however, you could memorize the information. Instructors might ask you to read a chapter dealing with dates or specific facts. At the literal level, you would memorize these dates and facts. However, even though you have memorized these facts, this does not mean that you necessarily understand their full meaning or see the implication of these dates and facts applied to other situations. At the literal level, you are looking at what was written by an author at “face value”, little interpretation is needed.
2. Interpretive Level The second level of comprehension is called the interpretive level. At the interpretive level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: What was meant by what was said? At this level, the readers are attempting to understand what the author meant by what s/he said in the story, paragraph or textbook. It is presumed that you have already memorized certain facts at the literal level and now you are attempting to see the implications of the author’s words. At this level, you are attempting to “read between the lines.” as they say. At this level, you are attempting to understand that which you memorized at the literal level of comprehension.
3. Applied Level The last level is called the applied level. At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: How would the author’s message apply to other situations given what you memorized and understood at the other two levels? At this level, you are attempting to elevate or raise your thinking one more “notch” or level to a more critical, analyzing level. This presumes that you have already reached the previous two levels. At this level, you are “reading between the lines” and then examining the message from the author and attempting to apply that message to other settings.
From the passages above, it can be concluded that : There are three levels of reading comprehension, literal, interpretive and applied level. Literal level is a level in which the readers are trying to understand what did the author say in the text. Interpretive level is a level in which the readers are trying to understand the implications of the text or what the author meant in the text. And applied level is a level in which the readers already reached the previous two levels and they are trying to apply the author’s message to other settings.

ReplyDeleteAccording to akmar mohammad 12 December 1999
ReplyDeleteTeachers need to be aware that there are actually three main levels or strands of comprehension--literal, interpretive and critical comprehension.
• The first level, literal comprehension, is the most obvious. Comprehension at this level involves surface meanings. At this level, teachers can ask students to find information and ideas that are explicitly stated in the text. In addition, it is also appropriate to test vocabulary. According to Karlin(1971), "being able to read for literal meanings ie stated ideas is influenced by one's mastery of word meanings in context'.
• The second level or strand is interpretive or referential comprehension. At this level, students go beyond what is said and read for deeper meanings. They must be able to read critically and analyse carefully what they have read. Students need to be able to see relationships among ideas, for exmple how ideas go together and also see the implied meanings of these ideas. It is also obvious that before our students can do this, they have to first understand the ideas that are stated (literal comprehension). Interpretive or referential comprehension includes thinking processes such as drawing conclusions, making generalizations and predicting outcomes. At this level, teachers can ask more challenging questions such as asking students to do the following:
• Re-arrange the ideas or topics discussed in the text.
• Explain the author's purpose of writing the text.
• Summarize the main idea when this is not explicitly stated in the text.
• Select conclusions which can be deduced from the text t!hey have read.
• Finally, the third level of comprehension is critical reading whereby ideas and information are evaluated. Critical evaluation occurs only after our students have understood the ideas and information that the writer has presented. At this level, students can be tested on the following skills:
• The ability to differentiate between facts and opinions.
• The ability to recognize persuasive statements .
• The ability to judge the accuracy of the information given in the text.
It can be conclude: Dividing comprehension into literal, referential and critical strands is only intended as a guide for teachers when preparing reading assessments. Studies have shown that teachers tend to ask their students mainly literal comprehension questions. They need to be aware that there is more to reading than just the basic skills of reading and recalling information.

Levels of Reading Comprehension
Copyright © 2005 by James H. Berry, SC4
Reading is a thinking activity. By now you have read this several times... is it sinking in? This process involves getting meaning from the printed word or symbol. College instructors will expect that you, as a college student, will be able to read at all levels of meaning or comprehension. In this case, LEVELS mean different depths of understanding, different analysis of what is meant. In other words, you will be expected to read at different levels of comprehension.
3 Different Levels of Comprehension:
Literal Level
The first level of comprehension can be called the literal level for the sake of wording because it is the most simple. At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer the question: Question: What did the author say?
At this level, you would not have to understand the true meaning of a paragraph, however, you could memorize the information. Instructors might ask you to read a chapter dealing with dates or specific facts. At the literal level, you would memorize these dates and facts. However, even though you have memorized these facts, this does not mean that you necessarily understand their full meaning or see the implication of these dates and facts applied to other situations. At the literal level, you are looking at what was written by an author at “face value”, little interpretation is needed.
Interpretive Level
At the interpretive level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: What was meant by what was said?
At this level, you are attempting to understand what the author meant by what s/he said in the story, paragraph or textbook. It is presumed that you have already memorized certain facts at the literal level and now you are attempting to see the implications of the author’s words. At this level, you are attempting to “read between the lines.” as they say. At this level you are attempting to understand that which you memorized at the literal level of comprehension.
Perhaps a teacher might ask you,
“How did King Henry VIII wield his power as King of England?”
This new question about “how” he wielded his power would force you to understand more than the date that he became King. Do you see this dramatic difference?
Applied Level
At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question:
How would the author’s message apply to other situations given what you memorized and understood at the other two levels?
At this level, you are attempting to elevate or raise your thinking one more “notch” or level to a more critical, analyzing level. This presumes that you have already reached the previous two levels. At this level, you are “reading between the lines” and then examining the message from the author and attempting to apply that message to other settings.
For example, How does power affect a person?
In this pretend scenario from history, a student started at the literal level memorizing dates from history. At the interpretive level, the student would have examined the implications of those dates...what else was going on, what impact King Henry might have had on England, on the politics of the time, etc. At the applied level, the student has now spent a fair amount of time building his/her learning curve and is now more able to see the larger implications of people who either are born “powerful” by their lineage of birth or have assumed power like someone elected into office. Either way, if an instructor asks you to write an essay explaining how people are affected (controlled or influenced) by power and you responded appropriately...you would be at the applied level of comprehension.

According to Kathleen (2003) There are three levels of comprehension, LITERAL what is actually stated.
ReplyDeleteINTERPRETIVE what is implied or meant, rather than what is actually stated. APPLIED - taking what was said (literal) and then what was meant by what was said (interpretive) and then extend (apply) the concepts or ideas beyond the situation.
Furthermore, According to Natalie (2012): There are four noted levels of reading comprehension. The four levels are Literal, which is what is actually stated, Interpretive or Inferential, which is what is implied, Applied or Evaluative, which is when what was meant by what was stated is actually applied to concepts or ideas that go beyond what was discussed, and the final level, Appreciative, which is more abstract and based on a deeper understanding of the material in question.
From the definition it can be assumed that levels of reading comprehension, divided into three term: stated, implied, and applicable.

Reading comprehension level
According to James H. Berry (2005), There are three different levels of comprehension can be called the literal level, the interpretive level and the applied level. Let’s examine what each means briefly.
1. Literal Level
The first level of comprehension can be called the literal level for the sake of wording because it is the most simple. At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer the question: Question: What did the author say?
At this level, you would not have to understand the true meaning of a paragraph, however, you could memorize the information. Instructors might ask you to read a chapter dealing with dates or specific facts. At the literal level, you would memorize these dates and facts. However, even though you have memorized these facts, this does not mean that you necessarily understand their full meaning or see the implication of these dates and facts applied to other situations. At the literal level, you are looking at what was written by an author at “face value”, little interpretation is needed.
2. Interpretive Level
The second level of comprehension is called the interpretive level. At the interpretive level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: What was meant by what was said?
At this level, you are attempting to understand what the author meant by what s/he said in the story, paragraph or textbook. It is presumed that you have already memorized certain facts at the literal level and now you are attempting to see the implications of the author’s words. At this level, you are attempting to “read between the lines.” as they say. At this level, you are attempting to understand that which you memorized at the literal level of comprehension
3. Applied LeveL
The last level is called the applied level. At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: How would the author’s message apply to other situations given what you and memorized understood at the other two levels?
At this level, you are attempting to elevate or raise your thinking one more “notch” or level to a more critical, analyzing level. This presumes that you have already reached the previous two levels. At this level, you are “reading between the lines” and then examining the message from the author and attempting to apply that message to other settings.
From the definition it can be assumed that reading comprehension levels have three Levels :
1. Literal level : The readers is only given a paragraph of information in them without fully understanding the meaning or implication in paragrap
2. Interpretive Level : The readers trying to understand what is read and understood what the author says in the text is to memorize the literal level of comprehension.
3. Applied Level : The readers understand the message author and reader that the author tries to apply the message to other settings.

According to James H. Berry (2005), there are three levels of reading comprehension:
1. Level One, it is usually called LITERAL LEVEL which is discuss about what was written by the author at “face value”, little interpretation is needed.
2. Level Two, it is usually called INTERPRETIVE LEVEL which is discuss about Seeing what the author has implied in his/her written work or what the instructor has said is like trying to understand what they meant even though they did not directly state it!
3. Level Three, it is usually called APPLIED LEVEL which is discuss about How would the author’s message apply to other situations given what you memorized and understood at the other two levels?
It is same as what Kathleen (2003) was said: there are three levels of reading comprehension:
1. Level One, it is usually called LITERAL LEVEL which is discuss about what is actually stated. In this level, Common questions used to illicit this type of thinking are who, what, when, and where questions.
2. Level Two, it is usually called INTERPRETIVE LEVEL which is discuss about what is implied or meant, rather than what is actually stated. In this level, the types of questions asked are open-ended, thought-provoking questions like why, what if, and how.
3. Level Three, it is usually called APPLIED LEVEL which is discuss about taking what was said (literal) and then what was meant by what was said (interpretive) and then extend (apply) the concepts or ideas beyond the situation. In this level, the readers are analyzing or synthesizing information and applying it to other information.
From two definitions, it is clear that there are three levels of reading comprehension:
1. LITERAL LEVEL
In this level, by reading a text the reader should be able to answer these basic questions; “who, what, when, and where”.
2. INTERPRETIVE LEVEL
In this level, by reading a text the reader should be able to answer these basic questions;” why, what if, and how”.
3. APPLIED LEVEL
In this level, by reading a text the reader should be able to analyze or synthesize information and apply it to other information.

Reading comprehension level
ReplyDeleteAccording to James H. Berry (2005) that level mean different depths of understanding, different analysis of what is meant. These three level of comprehension can be called the literal level, the interpretive level and the applied level.
•Literal level (what is actually stated)
The literal level for the sake of wording because it is the most simple. At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer the question: Question: What did the author say?. At this level, the readers would not have to understand the true meaning of a paragraph, however, the readers could memorize the information.
•Interpretive level (what is implied or meant, rather than what is actually stated)
At the interpretive level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: What was meant by what was said?. At this level, the readers are attempting to understand what the author meant by what s/he said in the story, paragraph or textbook.
•Applied level
At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: How would the author’s message apply to other situations given what you memorized and understood at the other two levels?. At this level, the readers are attempting to elevate or raise readers thinking one more “notch” or level to a more critical, analyzing level. This presumes that the readers have already reached the previous two levels.
It can be concluded that reading comprehension level divided into three, there are : literal level, what is actually stated. Memorization and Surface understanding only. In this category are objective tests. So, interpretive level (what is implied or meant, rather than what is actually stated), making conclusion what the readers understand from the text. In this category are subjective tests. And the last, applied level. In this level we are analyzing or synthesizing information and applying it to other information.

Levels of Comprehension
Cuesta.edu(2004) the three levels of comprehension, or sophistication of thinking, are presented in the following hierarchy from the least to the most sophisticated level of reading.
• Least = surface, simple reading
• Most = in-depth, complex reading
Level One
LITERAL - what is actually stated.
• Facts and details
• Rote learning and memorization
• Surface understanding only
TESTS in this category are objective tests dealing with true / false, multiple choice and fill-in-the blank questions.Common questions used to illicit this type of thinking are who, what, when, and where questions.
Level Two
INTERPRETIVE - what is implied or meant, rather than what is actually stated.
• Drawing inferences
• Tapping into prior knowledge / experience
• Attaching new learning to old information
• Making logical leaps and educated guesses
• Reading between the lines to determine what is meant by what is stated.
TESTS in this category are subjective, and the types of questions asked are open-ended, thought-provoking questions like why, what if, and how.
Level Three
APPLIED - taking what was said (literal) and then what was meant by what was said (interpretive) and then extend (apply) the concepts or ideas beyond the situation.
• Analyzing
• Synthesizing
• Applying
From the definition it can be assumed that reading comprehension levels have three levels are literal , interpretive, and applied so in this levels are analyzing or synthesizing information and applying it to other information.

From the explanation above it can be assumed that there are three levels of reading comprehension, literal, interpretive, and applied.Literal is objective test, what is stated, such as :true/false questions, multiple choice, and fill the blanks. Interpretive is subjective test, what is implied or meant, it can be open-ended questions, why, how, what. and the last is implied what is stated (literal) and then what is meant by what is said (interpretive) and then extend (apply) the concepts into the situation.In the last level we analyze information and apply it to other information.

READING COMPREHENSION LEVEL
James H. Berry (2005) states that there are three level of reading comprehension , first, Literal level, At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer the question and you would not have to understand the true meaning of a paragraph, however, you could memorize the information. Second, Interpretive Level, At this level, you are attempting to understand what the author meant by what s/he said in the story or passage. the Last level is Applied Level, At this level, you are attempting to elevate or raise your thinking one more “notch” or level to a more critical, analyzing level. So it can assumed that reading comprehension level consist of 3 level that has different way, based on the level of reader can understanding.

ReplyDeleteAccording to Akmar Mohamad (1999), Reading comprehension level is read the text and reader can be able to find meaning in what is read. Thus, the teachers give their students reading assessments in order to test their reading abilities. And there are three level, are: first, literal comprehension, is the most obvious. Comprehension at this level involves surface meanings. At this level, teachers can ask students to find information and ideas that are explicitly stated in the text. Second, interpretive or referential comprehension. At this level, students go beyond what is said and read for deeper meanings. They must be able to read critically and analyse carefully what they have read. Students need to be able to see relationships among ideas, for exmple how ideas go together and also see the implied meanings of these ideas. It is also obvious that before our students can do this, they have to first understand the ideas that are stated (literal comprehension). Interpretive or referential comprehension includes thinking processes such as drawing conclusions, making generalizations and predicting outcomes. And the last level is critical reading whereby ideas and information are evaluated. Critical evaluation occurs only after our students have understood the ideas and information that the writer has presented. At this level, students can be tested on the following skills: The ability to differentiate between facts and opinions, the ability to recognize persuasive statements, the ability to judge the accuracy of the information given in the text. So from the definition, it can be conclude that reading comprehension level is ), ” Reading comprehension level is understanding a text that is read, or the process of "constructing meaning" from a text. "Construction process" it means that involves all of the elements of the reading process working together as a text is read to create a representation of the text in the reader's mind. And the first step teacher ask the student to look for the idea and information that are distinctly stated in the text (first level), than the student must understand to make a summary or conclusion about the text (second level), the last, the student can be able to establish between the fact and opinion from the text (third level).”

ReplyDeleteLevels of Comprehension
Cuesta College (2004) : has divided reading comprehension into 3 categories. They are
Level One is LITERAL - what is actually stated.
• Facts and details
• Rote learning and memorization
• Surface understanding only
Level Two is INTERPRETIVE - what is implied or meant, rather than what is actually stated.
• Drawing inferences
• Tapping into prior knowledge / experience
• Attaching new learning to old information
• Making logical leaps and educated guesses
• Reading between the lines to determine what is meant by what is stated.
Level Three is APPLIED - taking what was said (literal) and then what was meant by what was said (interpretive) and then extend (apply) the concepts or ideas beyond the situation.
• Analyzing
• Synthesizing
• Applying

DeleteReading Comprehension Level
ReplyDeleteAccording to Cuesta (2003), there are three levels of comprehension.
Level one, LITERAL what is actually stated which focus on the facts and detail, rote learning and memorization, and surface understanding only. It can be said that this level of understanding usually tested through objective test which dealing with true/false, multiple choice and fiil in the blanks question. Furthermore, Cuesta said that common questions used to illicit this level of thinking are who, what, when, and where questions.
Level two, INTERPRETIVE what is implied or meant, rather than what is actually stated. Focus on the ability of drawing inferences, tapping into prior knowledge, making logical leaps and educated guesses, and reading between lines to determine what is meant by what is stated. It’s assumed that on this level the readers need to know exactly what they have read about, not only stated it, because in this level the readers are invited to think more about everything that have got from reading. Then, Cuesta suggests to give provoking questions like why, what if, and how to tested to the reader who stay in this level. Moreover she said that the tyoe of the questions are open ended question which falls into subjective test category.
Level three is APPLIED, taking what was said (literal) and then what was meant by what was said (interpretive) and then extend (apply) the concepts or ideas beyond the situation. In this level, readers need to analyze, synthesize, and apply the text. It’s implied that in applied level, the readers are analyzing or synthesizing information and applying it to other information. It’s the hard level in reading comprehension because the readers need to comoprehend everything about the text and then they need to apply it by connecting to the other information that will support their comprehension in reading.

ReplyDeleteReading comprehension level.
According to Berry (2005) define that there are three different levels of comprehension can be called the literal level, the interpretive level and the applied level. The first level of comprehension can be called the literal level for the sake of wording because it is the most simple. It can be assumed that students would not have to understand the true meaning of a paragraph, however, students could memorize the information. Students read a chapter dealing with dates or specific facts. At the literal level, students would memorize these dates and facts. The point of all of this is that at the literal level of comprehension, students are at the most basic of levels.
The second level of comprehension is called the interpretive level. At the interpretive level the reader or student can attempt to understand what the author meant by what s/he said in the story, paragraph or textbook. It is presumed that reader have already memorized certain facts at the literal level and then reader are attempting to see the implications of the author’s words.
The last level is called the applied level. At this level the reader or student can attempt to elevate or raise reader’s thinking one more “notch” or level to a more critical, analyzing level. It can be assumed that reader have already reached the previous two levels. At this level, readers are “reading between the lines” and then examining the message from the author and attempting to apply that message to other settings.

READING COMPREHENDSION LEVEL
According to mohamad (1999) said that The first level, literal comprehension, is the most obvious. Comprehension at this level involves surface meanings. The second level or strand is interpretive or referential comprehension. At this level, students go beyond what is said and read for deeper meanings. Finally, the third level of comprehension is critical reading whereby ideas and information are evaluated. It can be assumed that in the first level is the level of reading comprehension of the readers where the readers are able to know the literal meaning of the text by understand the meaning of each word. Second level is explained that the reader are able to know the meaning of the text, but not only that the reader, can interpret what the writer of the text want to conveyed from the text, then the reader also can make a conclusion of the text that the reader has read. The third level , is the level of reading comprehension, where the reader not only can understand the meaning, interpret the main ides, but they can make pass a test of the reading text that the readers have read.

ReplyDeleteLevels of reading comprehension
There are three levels of comprehension can be called the literal level, the interpretive level and the applied level.
1. Literal level
The first level of comprehension can be called the literal level for the sake of wording because it is the most simple. At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer the question: Question: What did the author say? .The reader must understand the true meaning of paragraph; however the reader can memorize the information. At the literal level, the reader would memorize these dates and facts. However, even though readers have memorized these facts, this does not mean that reader necessarily understand their full meaning or see the implication of these dates and facts applied to other situations
2. Interpretive Level
At the interpretive level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: What was meant by what was said? At this level, the readers are attempting to understand what the author meant by what s/he said in the story, paragraph or textbook. It is presumed that the readers have already memorized certain facts at the literal level and now readers are attempting to see the implications of the author’s words.
3. Applied Level
At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: How would the author’s message apply to other situations given what you memorized and understood at the other two levels? At this level, readers are attempting to elevate or raise reader’s thinking one more “notch” or level to a more critical, analyzing level. At this level, readers are “reading between the lines” and then examining the message from the author and attempting to apply that message to other settings.

At this level, you would not have to understand the true meaning of a paragraph, however, you could memorize the information. Instructors might ask you to read a chapter dealing with dates or specific facts. At the literal level, you would memorize these dates and facts. However, even though you have memorized these facts, this does not mean that you necessarily understand their full meaning or see the implication of these dates and facts applied to other situations. At the literal level, you are looking at what was written by an author at “face value”, little interpretation is needed.
2. Interpretive Level
The second level of comprehension is called the interpretive level. At the interpretive level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: What was meant by what was said?
At this level, the readers are attempting to understand what the author meant by what s/he said in the story, paragraph or textbook. It is presumed that you have already memorized certain facts at the literal level and now you are attempting to see the implications of the author’s words. At this level, you are attempting to “read between the lines.” as they say. At this level, you are attempting to understand that which you memorized at the literal level of comprehension.
3. Applied Level
The last level is called the applied level. At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: How would the author’s message apply to other situations given what you memorized and understood at the other two levels?
At this level, you are attempting to elevate or raise your thinking one more “notch” or level to a more critical, analyzing level. This presumes that you have already reached the previous two levels.

From the passages above, can be concluded that :
There are three levels of reading comprehension, literal, interpretive and applied level. Literal level is a level in which the readers are trying to understand what did the author say in the text. Interpretive level is a level in which the readers are trying to understand the implications of the text or what the author meant in the text.

ReplyDeleteAccording to Berry (2005), there are three different levels of reading comprehension. These three different levels of comprehension can be called as the literal level, the interpretive level and the applied level.
1. Literal Level
The first level of comprehension can be called the literal level for the sake of wording because it is the most simple. At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer the question: Question: What did the author say?
At this level, you would not have to understand the true meaning of a paragraph, however, you could memorize the information. Instructors might ask you to read a chapter dealing with dates or specific facts. At the literal level, you would memorize these dates and facts. However, even though you have memorized these facts, this does not mean that you necessarily understand their full meaning or see the implication of these dates and facts applied to other situations. At the literal level, you are looking at what was written by an author at “face value”, little interpretation is needed.
2. Interpretive Level
The second level of comprehension is called the interpretive level. At the interpretive level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: What was meant by what was said?
At this level, the readers are attempting to understand what the author meant by what s/he said in the story, paragraph or textbook. It is presumed that you have already memorized certain facts at the literal level and now you are attempting to see the implications of the author’s words. At this level, you are attempting to “read between the lines.” as they say. At this level, you are attempting to understand that which you memorized at the literal level of comprehension.
3. Applied Level
The last level is called the applied level. At this level the reader or student can attempt to answer this question: Question: How would the author’s message apply to other situations given what you memorized and understood at the other two levels?
At this level, you are attempting to elevate or raise your thinking one more “notch” or level to a more critical, analyzing level. This presumes that you have already reached the previous two levels. At this level, you are “reading between the lines” and then examining the message from the author and attempting to apply that message to other settings.
From the passages above, can be concluded that :
There are three levels of reading comprehension, literal, interpretive and applied level. Literal level is a level in which the readers are trying to understand what did the author say in the text. Interpretive level is a level in which the readers are trying to understand the implications of the text or what the author meant in the text. And applied level is a level in which the readers already reached the previous two levels and they are trying to apply the author’s message to other settings.

READING COMPREHENSION LEVELS
Cuesta College (2004)defined reading comprehension levels into three levels,they are :
1.LITERAL - what is actually stated.
• Facts and details
• Rote learning and memorization
• Surface understanding only
2.INTERPRETIVE - what is implied or meant, rather than what is actually stated.
• Drawing inferences
• Tapping into prior knowledge / experience
• Attaching new learning to old information
• Making logical leaps and educated guesses
• Reading between the lines to determine what is meant by what is stated.
3.APPLIED - taking what was said (literal) and then what was meant by what was said (interpretive) and then extend (apply) the concepts or ideas beyond the situation.
• Analyzing
• Synthesizing
• Applying
from the definition it can be assummed that,there are three levels of reading comprehension,for the first level reading is reading stated the text based on the fact and detail,learning by memorization.and the second level is reading the text not only by what is stated in the text but also what is implied in the text. and for the last level is the level when the reader apply the ideas by analyzing based on the situation.

According to James H. Berry (2005) levels of comprehension can be called the literal level, the interpretive level and the applied level.
The explanation of the reading comprehension levels :
1. Literal level
this level, the reader would not have to understand the true meaning of a paragraph, however, the reader could memorize the information. Instructors might ask the reader to read a chapter dealing with dates or specific facts. At the literal level, the reader would memorize these dates and facts.
2. Interpretive level
At this level, the reader are attempting to understand what the author meant by what she/he said in the story, paragraph or textbook. It is presumed that the reader have already memorized certain facts at the literal level and now the reader are attempting to see the implications of the author’s words.
3. Applied level
At this level, the reader are attempting to elevate or raise the reader thinking one more “notch” or level to a more critical, analyzing level. This presumes that the reader have already reached the previous two levels. At this level, the reader are “reading between the lines” and then examining the message from the author and attempting to apply that message to other settings.

ReplyDeleteReading Comprehension level:
DeleteAccording to Math Media Educational (1993), there are three levels of reading comprehension.
Level 1: Beginning and intermediate readers will think about word meanings and proper sequencing of thoughts through beginning reading comprehension exercises. This program includes on-demand audio to aide early readers. This critical thinking program is good for young students as well as adults who are learning English and the nuances of the English language.
Level 2: Expands upon the topics in Level 1 with more challenging questions. The reading level advances progressively from elementary to intermediate level including summarizing and organizing
Level 3: Expands on the topics learned in Level 2 and extends that learning to reading challenging topics in history, and literature. The reading level is for intermediate to advanced readers.
from the explanation above it can be assume that there are three levels of reading comprehension. The first focus on word meaning and proper sequence, second expand on the topic includes sumarizing and organizing, third reading challenging history.
