R B. Gough is the chief representative of this model. The notion of this model isthat reading is “a decoding process of reconstructing the author's intended meaningvia recognizing the printed letters and words, and building up a meaning for a textfrom the smallest textual units at the “bottom”(letters and words) to larger and largerunits at the “top，，(phrases, clauses, inter-sentential linkages). (Carrell, 1988:02)" Inother words, while reading a text，the reader starts from identifying letters andrecognizing words from the left to the right, and then combining them into sentencesand comprehend the meaning of the whole sentence, and then the whole text.
