Definition of Comprehensive English

Reading comprehension is the level of understanding of a text/message. This understanding comes from the interaction between the words that are written and how they trigger knowledge outside the text/message. Comprehension is a “creative, multifaceted process” dependent upon four language skills, phonology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics.

Reading comprehension is the ability to process text, understand its meaning, and to integrate it with what the reader already knows. Fundamental skills required in efficient reading comprehension are knowing meaning of word, ability to understand meaning of a word from discourse context, ability to follow organization of passage and to identify antecedents and references in it, ability to draw inferences from a passage about it contents, ability to answer questions answered in a passage, ability to recognize the literacy devices or propositional structures used in a passage and determine its tone, to understand the situational mood conveyed for assertions, questioning, commanding, refraining etc. and  finally ability to determine writer’s purpose, intent and point of view, and draw inferences about the writer.

People learn comprehension skills through education or instruction and some learn by direct experiences. Proficient reading depends on the ability to recognize word quickly and effortlessly. It is also determined by an individual’s cognitive development, which is “the construction of thought processes”
