Sub skills approach can provide learners with a concrete idea of a learning skill.

Learners are provided with a clear clue on what exact skills are required to improve reading ability.

Sub skills approach can help learners build up specific reading skills.

Through the practice of each specific skill, learners will build a solid foundation.

Comprehension and vocabulary will be improved.

Some sub skills to improve reading include:

*Skimming-reading for a gist

*Scanning-reading for specific information

*Understanding text and distinguishing text style

Reading is a set of sub-skills that children must master with automaticy.  These sub-skills must be taught while while reading.

Sub-sets are smaller skills that when mastered can be used to learn larger skills.  View Figure 1 to understand the bottom-up model.

The overall goal of this subskill theory is comprehension.  Meaning is found within the text and reading is considered a passive activity.

Urquhart and Weir (1998) thought since reading is a skill, it can also be broken down into smaller components.

Mundy (1978) said reading could be thought of as 19 individual skills to be taught.

One Second of Reading model by Gough (1972) states that reading is a sequential process starting with speech sounds and ending with understanding of the author's message.

LeBerge and Samuels(1974)  came up with the Theory of Automatic Information Processing , describing the concept called automacity, which is the focus of the Sub-skils Theory.
