Reading comprehension is the ability to understand and make meaning from written text. It involves a range of skills such as decoding words, understanding vocabulary, making inferences, and connecting information within and between texts. Research in this area seeks to understand the cognitive processes involved in reading comprehension, as well as factors that influence individuals' ability to comprehend what they read. This research often explores the role of factors such as background knowledge, vocabulary knowledge, working memory, and cognitive strategies in supporting reading comprehension. The goal of reading comprehension research is to develop effective instructional strategies and interventions to help individuals improve their reading comprehension skills.
