Title of the Research:
Improving The Students Reading Skill Through Power Point.
Background:
Reading is defined as a cognitive process that involves decoding symbols to arrive

at meaning. Reading is an active process of constructing meanings of words. Reading
with a purpose helps the reader to direct information towards a goal and focuses their
attention. Although the reasons for reading may vary, the primary purpose of reading is to
understand the text. Reading is a thinking process. It allows the reader to use what he or
she may already know, also called prior knowledge. During this processing of
information, the reader uses strategies to understand what they are reading, uses themes
to organize ideas, and uses textual clues to find the meanings of new words. Each of the
three components of reading is equally important. Let's take a look at the components!
Reading is a process that involves recognizing words, leading to the development

of comprehension. According to research, reading is a process that negotiates the
meaning between the text and its reader. The reading process involves three stages.
The first is the pre-reading stage, which allows the reader to activate background
knowledge, preview the text, and develop a purpose for reading. A strategy for students
to utilize during this stage is to look at the title of the selection and list all the information
that comes to mind about the title.
The second stage occurs during reading, when the reader makes predictions as
they read and then confirms or revises the predictions. For example, double-entry journal
enable the reader to write the text from the reading on one side and their personal reaction
on the other side.
The final stage occurs after reading and allows the reader to retell the story,
discuss the elements of a story, answer questions and/or compare it to another text. For
example, students can create summaries, where they take a huge selection and reduce it to
its main points for more concise understanding.
Comprehension is an intentional, active, and interactive process that occurs

before, during and after a person reads a particular piece of writing.
Cathy Healy (19970) Most children are not natural born readers. In fact, reading
is not a naturally occurring skill at all, but rather a complex process that requires a careful
and systematic instructional approach according to the research gathered by the National
Reading Panel. It is dependent upon a number of factors including a child’s world
knowledge, vocabulary and memory skills. Of all the skills children must acquire in their
lives reading is the most critical one for future success in school as well as throughout
life.
Slide presentation software such as PowerPoint has become an ingrained part of

many instructional settings, particularly in large classes and in courses more geared
toward information exchange than skill development. PowerPoint can be a highly
effective tool to aid learning, but if not used carefully, may instead disengage students
and actually hinder learning.
Potential benefits of using presentation graphics include:
 Increasing visual impact

 Improving audience focus
 Providing annotations and highlights
 Analyzing and synthesizing complexities
 Enriching curriculum with interdisciplinarity
 Increasing spontaneity and interactivity
 Increasing wonder
Elizabeth Rash (Nursing) provided this sample iterative case study (where
parameters evolve over time) given to a midsize class. Students are required to come to
class prepared having read online resources, the text, and a narrated slideshow
presentation that accompanies each module. The classroom is problem-based (case-
based) and interactive, where students are introduced to a young woman who ages as the
semester progresses and confronts multiple health issues. Since the nurse practitioner
students are being prepared to interact with patients, some slides require students to
interview another classmate in a micro role-play.
Problem-based lectures frequently alternate between providing information and

posing problems to the students, which alters the entire character of the presentation.
Rather than explain and convey information, many slides ask questions that are intended
to prompt critical thinking or discussion.
Objective of the Research:
Based on the research question above, the objectives of the research was,
as follows: To know the use of power point can improve students’ reading skill or not.
