To address the issue highlighted by the Progress in International Reading
Literacy Study (PIRLS) that 81% of Grade 4 pupils in South Africa do not read
with comprehension, it is essential to focus on intensive reading strategies at a
word level. Intensive reading involves a detailed, thorough analysis of a text to
ensure deep understanding. As a Senior Phase teacher, employing this strategy
can significantly enhance learners' reading skills and comprehension.
Understanding Context and Connotations
First, it is crucial to help students understand the context in which words are
used. For example, in "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant, the word
"ecstasy" appears when Madame Loisel discovers the diamond necklace. Here,
"ecstasy" is not merely a state of happiness but an intense feeling of joy and
delight. Students should be encouraged to look at how the word is used in the
sentence: "She fastened it around her neck, over her high-necked dress, and
stood lost in ecstasy as she looked at herself." By analyzing this, students can
understand that "ecstasy" in this context conveys a sense of overwhelming joy
and satisfaction.
Exploring Multiple Meanings
Words often have multiple meanings, and understanding these can enhance
comprehension. Take the word "distressed" from the story: "She went to her
friend's house and told her of her distress." Here, "distress" means extreme
anxiety or sorrow. However, in another context, "distressed" can refer to
something being in a state of physical disrepair. Exploring these different
meanings can help students grasp the nuances of language.
Identifying Unfamiliar Words
Encouraging students to identify and understand unfamiliar words is another
critical aspect of intensive reading. For instance, the word "anteroom" might be
unfamiliar to many students. It appears in the sentence, "He had been dozing
since midnight, in a little deserted anteroom with three other gentlemen."
