INTRODUCTION
The most beautiful things in the world
cannot be seen or touched, they are felt
with the heart.
Antoine de Saint-Exupry, The Little
Prince
A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the
moment a single man contemplates it,
bearing within him the image of a
cathedral.
Antoine de Saint-Exupry, The Little
Prince

INTERACTIVE READING
MODEL
An attempt to combine the two
models, the top-down and the
bottom-up.
It selects the strong points of both
models and integrates them in
learning to read.

Researchers view about

the model
Emerald Dechant
Meaning is constructed by the
selective use of information from
various sources, without relying on
any set order. these sources may be
graphemic, phonemic, morphemic,
syntax and semantics. All levels of
processing are used although the
reader can rely on one source at a
given time.

Researchers view about

the model
Kenneth Goodman
Reading is understood at once
as both a perceptual and cognitive
process.

Researchers view about

the model
To be able to accomplish the task
of reading, a skilled reader must
be able to use sensory, syntactic,
semantic, and pragmatic situation.
During the process of reading,
various sources of information may
interact in many complex ways.

REFLECTION
When giving interpretation to what one has
read, one should not only focus on the text
nor the reader. Giving meaning to the text
could also be done by combining the
essential feature of he bottom-up and the
top-down model. We should always
remember that there are some text that
was not meant to be taken literally as its
words suggest. We should also not derive
solely the meaning of what we read based
only from our own prior knowledge of the
topic. We should learn to incorporate a
little bit of those two (reader, text).

tells you the stories of real people who
grapple with problems that the urgency
in todays living brings. It recounts the

the immortals and the supernatural
beings who thrill us with their
incredible powers.

LITERARY APPRECIATION

Literature relates all these things
through its elements such as
poetic language, tone and mood,
character, setting, plot and
theme.

vivid pictures in your mind, that
appeal to your emotions, or that

REFLECTION
Literature has already been a part of our lives,
not only in the academic but also in the personal
sense. We gain a lot of things from literature:
knowledge about other peoples cultures, novel ideas,
thoughts about the mysteries of life, and some form
of escape from the struggles that we encounter in our
modern world. With these in mind, we should learn
to appreciate literature and its wonders. We should
understand its value and give importance to the part
that it has played all through the years. And most of
all, we should learn to esteem, honor, respect and
admire the beauty and complexity of literature.

LEARNING TASK 9
