We select the 'rapid reading and comprehension method' to promote the reading skill, and want to apply it to students to study how their reading speed and comprehension improves. For this purpose, in this paper, we define reading as an accurate and quick ability to process information, and the object of this research is to verify a scheme to improve the reading skill, which is called the 'rapid reading and comprehension method - reading based on this method means fast reading as well as an accurate understanding which increases the amount of information received'. For data collection, we selected four primary school in the Kimje city. We found out validation the effective improvement of the reading ability by the 'rapid reading and comprehension method program'. The students' reading speed was enhanced by the rapid reading training and the comprehension ability increased as well.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences of reading comprehension and science process skills between science gifted students and general students and to see the correlations between reading comprehension and science process skills of science gifted students by gender. The subjects were 57 science gifted students and 57 general students in 5th grade in U city. The results can be summarized as follows: First, the science gifted students had excellent reading comprehension skills compared to the general students and the difference was statistically significant. By gender, boys and girls of the science gifted students showed higher marks than those of the general students respectively. But for boys, the difference was statistically significant, while for girls, the difference was not significant. Second, the science gifted students has excellent science process skills compared to the general students and the difference was statistically significant. By gender, boys and girls of the science gifted students showed higher marks than those of the general students respectively. And for boys and girls, the difference was statistically significant. Third, there was low positive correlation between the reading comprehension and science process skills of the science gifted students. By gender, boys and girls showed low positive correlation respectively. But for boys, the difference was statistically significant, while for girls, the difference was not significant.

The purpose of this study was to analyze 5'year' old children's responses in the process of reading picturebooks on sexual abuse and to explore the educational implications of the results. 42'five year' old children and 2 of their teachers participated as subjects in the study. Data was collected by means of observation, a diary record of the teacher's class, and an interview with teachers about children's responses in the process of reading picturebooks on sexual abuse during the free choice activities, and group activities in J and K daycare centers in Busan, Korea from July to September. The results were as follows : the analysis identified three patterns of responses; consistent responses, awkward responses, and confused and frightened responses. These result imply that selecting picturebooks for sexual abuse preventive education programs for young children needs to be given careful consideration. The importance of the teacher's reading skills and sociocultural cognition regarding sexuality in general were also discussed.

In this study we propose an automatic reading system for diagnostic DNA chips. We define a general specification for an automatic reading system and propose a possible implementation method. The proposed system performs the whole reading process automatically without any user intervention, covering image acquisition, image analysis, and report generation. We applied the system for the automatic report generation of a commercialized DNA chip for cervical cancer detection. The fluorescence image of the hybridization result was acquired with a $GenePix^{TM}$ scanner using its library running in HTML pages. The processing of the acquired image and the report generation were executed by a component object module programmed with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. To generate the report document, we made an HWP 2002 document template with marker strings that were supposed to be searched and replaced with the corresponding information such as patient information and diagnosis results. The proposed system generates the report document by reading the template and changing the marker strings with the resultant contents. The system is expected to facilitate the usage of a diagnostic DNA chip for mass screening by the automation of a conventional manual reading process, shortening its processing time, and quantifying the reading criteria.

This study observes how the combined intervention program effects on the acquisition reading pronunciation of Korean phonological process words and the acquisition aspects of each phonological process rules to four Korean learners whose first language is Chinese. The training program is the combination of multisensory Auditory, Visual and Kinethetic (AVK) approach, wholistic approach, and metalinguistic approach. The training purpose is to evaluate how accurately they read the words of the phonological process which have fortisization, nasalization, lateralization, intermediate sound /ㅅ/ (/${\int}iot"$/). We access how they read the untrained words which include the four factors above. The intervention effects are analyzed by the multiple probe across subjects design. The results indicate that the combined phonological process rule explanation and the words activity intervention affects the four Chinese subjects in every type of word. The implications of the study are these: First, it suggests the effect of Korean pronunciation intervention in a concrete way. Second, it offers how to evaluate the phonological process and how to train people who are learning Korean language.

Much of the current literature on reading instruction supports the idea of teaching students a series of reading strategies instead of isolated reading skills. Reading strategies are plans or methods that can be used or taught to facilitate reading proficiency. In the meantime, the reading instruction program of school library is the reading promotion event has been limited. Therefore, the reading instruction program of school library need to focus reading strategies oriented instruction rather than reading skill. This Study categorizes Reading Strategies that divided into text type, text structure, reading process, cognitive strategies.

In this paper, we present a new model of web-based reading education system. The existing web-based reading education system was effective to reinforce interactions of the learners and elevate their reading interests, but the usability of web-based system was extremely unsatisfied during the process of reading required for a long time because it placed importance on the guidance as a result of reading. This paper has divided reading education activities depending upon the times: before reading, during reading and after reading, etc. Web-based reading strategies, which can be actively used at each stage, have been developed to do interaction actively among teachers, students and their parents. Furthermore, application methods of the strategies have been presented depending upon teaching-learning type of Korean language subject, such as professional's cooperative learning and problem solving learning, etc to revitalize reading guidance of regular Korean language class time.

This case study describes the nature of young children's responses in the informational picturebook reading process through the eyes of 4 young children. Over a twenty week period from September 3, 2007 to February 15, 2008, researcher observed 4 young children while they read informational picturebooks and interacted with one another in terms of what they had read. The young children's personalities, preferences and environments as individual background clearly influenced responses and interaction during the reading process. By acknowledging the response styles of young children, a teacher can assist young children in developing a repertoire of responses to informational picturebooks.

The purpose of this study was to investigate children's perception of reading. The researchers interviewed 120 children aged 5 to 7 (40 for each age group) by using a specially designed interview format. The study of Johns (1973) was referred to as a guide in preparing the format. Responses of the children were classified in accordance with criteria worked out on the basis of the researchers' previous studies and analyzed in terms of frequencies and percentiles by age group. ${\chi}^2$ test was used to analyze the data. The findings of the study were: (1) The younger the children, the higher the rate of showing no response or of responding only to concrete incidents or things. Older children in general showed higher responses relevant to reading comprehension than younger ones. (2) Older children were more inclined than younger ones to regard the process of reading as a skill-oriented, teacher-based process. (3) Children in these age groups showed little perception of reading's objectives of comprehension and communication.

Researches on the actual condition of the management of reading circles at 1991, 1999 and the third 2004 are analyzed and compared mutually in order to observe the process of development of reading circles because the management of reading circles in public libraries play an important role in activating reading activity. Public libraries increase twice in number than first research and take interest in the management of reading circles to activate reading activity, so public libraries are in full activity to organize and manage reading circles by themself, secure a budget for reading circles and supply spaces for reading activity constructively. However, development of the reading activity program and positioning of experts in management of reading circles have been remained as non solved problems.
