What is reading comprehension?

Reading comprehension is the ability to read and understand a text.

National Curriculum English programme of study links

Pupils should maintain positive attitudes to reading and understanding of what they read by continuing to read and discuss an increasingly wide range of ... non-fiction.
Pupils should understand what they read by:
- checking it makes sense to them, discussing their understanding and exploring the meaning of words in context.
- drawing inferences such as inferring characters feelings, thoughts and motives from their actions and justifying these with evidence.
- retrieve record and present information from non-fiction.
