Abstract

 

This paper seeks to consider the developmental factors that affect the development of reading comprehension. ESL Students at schools are daily exposed to too many different texts to read. Reading is the sole tool for the students to enhance their knowledge and hence understand the different subjects they read. Reading often constitutes the basis of follow-up work such as classroom discussion or assignments to be done at homes. For these reasons it is essential that ESL students are helped as much as possible and necessary to understand what they read. Scores of ESL students, often, waste a great deal of precious time trying to make sense of texts that are too difficult for them. It is not unusual for a student to read a text carefully for over a couple of hours with a dictionary and still not understand it very well. However, with a little support their exasperating reading experience can be turned into a more constructive one.
