It has become increasingly common to use understanding strategies to help students read during the past few decades. Unlike traditional reading techniques (such as phoneme recognition and vocabulary) that support how to read words, understanding strategies are useful for becoming active, self-tuning thinkers who read the meaning of text. Skilled readers often use different cognitive strategies to understand what they are reading, and teaching this strategy can significantly improve the understanding of struggling students (Brown et al. 1996; Brown, 2008; Duffy et al., 1988; Pressley et al., 1989)

Reading skill is a skill that needs to develop. Understanding is a much more complex and advanced skill than decoding. It is important that students make understanding strategies. The focus of the understanding strategy is to teach the students to understand what they are reading, not reading or decoding methods. Although the reader informally acquired several understanding strategies, understanding explicit or formal guidance in the application of the strategy proved to be very effective in enhancing understanding (National Reading From report of Group). In other words, students can take concrete actions to acquire comprehension skills.

Reading strategies include conscious psychological behaviors in the reading process for better understanding. They are also defined by the IES as readers who remember how intentionally they understand what they are reading. These strategies help readers overcome the difficulty of understanding and supplement weak textual knowledge. Reading strategies should not be confused with instructional activities such as completing worksheets. These activities contain little guidance on how to deepen mental understanding. Also, please do not confuse reading strategies with exercises designed to allow students to practice other skills such as sorting and making conclusions.
