- The Conceptual Framework
We can say that reading is a process in which the reader finds the information that the writer gives in the written. Reading to find the answer to one more question is one of the common reading goals in elementary school. Reading beyond the lines involves deriving implications, speculating about implications, and making generalizations not stated by the author.
Critical reading is the evaluation of written material that compares ideas discovered in the material with known ones. Critical reading compares previous experience with elements in new material such as content, style, expression, information, and the author's idea or values. In the process of teaching and learning, the function of learning media is not only a tool used by the teacher, but also a means of conveying messages to students.
The picture can be in the form of flash cards, cue cards, large wall pictures, photographs, illustrations or slides projected on the computer screen. The conceptual framework above shows the research process to increase students' reading comprehension.
