"Reading is a complex cognitive process of decoding symbols in order to construct or derive meaning known as reading comprehension."

To visualize the process you can get familiar with a graph below.

Dr. Hollis Scarborough believes that there are many skills which are involved in the automatic and strategic process of reading. See his graph below. It comes from http://www.fcrr.org/science/pdf/torgesen/Utah_keynote.pdf

Gough and Tunmer (1986) preceded Scarborough’s visual categorization and reinforce two main areas for achieving reading comprehension:

Word recognition x language comprehension = reading comprehension
