The document discusses the top-down approach to teaching reading. It has 6 key features: 1) it allows readers to decode text without understanding each word, 2) it helps recognize unfamiliar words through meaning and grammar cues, 3) it emphasizes reading for meaning over individual words, 4) it engages readers in meaning activities rather than focusing on word skills, 5) it considers reading sentences, paragraphs and full texts as the core of instruction, and 6) it identifies how much and what type of information is derived from reading. The goal of reading is constructing meaning from the text rather than translating words.
