I think that the biggest factor that influences a student’s comprehension of text is their prior oral vocabulary comprehension as well as their background experiences and general knowledge of life. It doesn’t matter how well a child can decode new words- if they don’t know the meaning of these words, then they aren’t going to understand them when they read any better than if they were hearing them. Now, children with good comprehension skills will often figure out what a new vocabulary word means using context clues. But again, if a child does not already have a good solid oral vocabulary foundation, then they may not fully comprehend the context clues either, meaning their chances of figuring out the meaning of a new word is slim.

Along these same lines, a child’s background knowledge and life experiences will also contribute to their comprehension skills. A child who has been exposed to many different experiences, has been read to frequently, and who spends their time involved in active rather than passive play will have a greater pool of knowledge to draw from when trying to comprehend text. These children will have an easier time making meaningful connections simply because they have been exposed to more and have more experiences to make connections with. Children who are read to frequently tend to have a better vocabulary foundation. They are often able to navigate text better as well because they are familiar with story formats.
