Dr. Prabhakar Vadlamudi

Abstract


Outside the classrooms of higher education, Indian students are the civil services aperients, as like students from Jawaharlal Nehru University, and these graduate students need efficient reading skills to comprehend a mass of reading materials from various sources related to syllabus of civil services prelims, mains and interview. (Piyanukool, 2001). Reading is even more important for civil services asperients since they have to be highly competitive in the Entrance examination (Chandavimol, 1998) and the National Level Tests prelims, mains and interview conducted by union public services commission. Therefore, the ability to read and comprehend texts efficiently is crucial for Indian students.

In addition, because of the demanding expectations for Administration, success in all areas of learning as competitors, they need to be trained a lot in reading-comprehension to succeed in the exams. As future diplomatic officers like IAS, IPS, IFS, they need to administrate, it takes a great deal of reading-comprehension to understand text of codes like constitution, law and order.

To elevate the reading comprehension abilities to a stronger, more advanced level and to reach the target level proficiency reciprocal teaching methods will play main role.
