Content Reading versus Domain Reading
According to “What is Content Reading” k12reader.com, Content reading is the reading that a student needs to read and comprehend in order to be successful in a particular content/subject area. Typically content area reading includes science, social studies/history, and math, but not literature.
Domain Reading is divided into two parts (PISA 2006).
I. Continuous, which contains: narrative, expository, descriptive, argumentative and persuasive, injunctive.
II. Non-continuous, which includes charts and graphs, tables, diagrams, maps, forms, and advertisements.
Non-continuous domain reading is often found in content reading, therefore students much be able to read and also be able to understand these charts, maps, tables they and be able to use the information they take from these to further understand the content they are studying.
Continuous domain reading will be used by students in both their content and literature studies and any other reading they do in or outside of school.
