Bottom-up model
In teaching reading, the teacher basically follows a linear process from the recognition of letters to words, to phrases, to sentences, to paragraphs, and then to the meaning of the whole text. This way of teaching is known to follow a bottom-up model.

Sight vocabulary
---- Words that you can recognize with both sounds and meanings without special effort from your brain
The best way to develop vocabulary is to read a great deal since repetition of new words helps in changing newly learned words into sight vocabulary.

Reading ---- making sense of text
Encoding and decoding: In communications and information processing, encoding is the process by which information from a source is converted into symbols to be communicated. Decoding is the reverse process, converting these code symbols back into information understandable by a receiver.

Efficient reading begins with a lightening-like automatic recognition of words. (Day and Bamford, 1998)
For developing students' reading skills, the first obstacle is often the vocabulary. Therefore, at the beginning stage, it is important for teachers to realize that helping our students to expand their sight vocabulary is quite important. In other words, only when they are able to quickly recognize the English words that comes to their sight and make a connection between these words and their meanings, can they have space in their brain to process meaning as a whole. If they have difficulty processing every new word their short term memory will be fully occupied with all the individual words, therefore leaving no space for them to process meaning.
But remember, possessing a large sight vocabulary is a necessary but not sufficient condition for effective reading comprehension.

Top-down model
in teaching reading, the teacher teaches the background knowledge first so that students equipped with such knowledge will be able to guess meaning from the printed page. This process of reading is said to follow the topdown model. Just as Goodman (1970) once said reading is “a psycholinguistic guessing game”.
