Comprehension

Comprehension, or extracting meaning from what you read, is the ultimate goal of reading.
Reading comprehension is the ability to process information that we have read and understood its meaning. This is a complex process with three levels of understanding.

Four Levels of Comprehension
Level 1 – Literal – Stated facts in the text: Data, specifics, dates, traits and settings

Level 2 – Inferential – Build on facts in the text: Predictions, sequence and settings

Level 3 – Evaluative– Judgement of text based on: Fact or opinion, validity, appropriateness, comparison, cause and effect

Level 4- Applied– Response to a text based on: Author’s language, values, imagery, style and purpose.
