Reading comprehension
Actually understanding and making sense of what was read.
Comprehension is the whole point of reading: understanding, remembering, and reasoning about a text. It depends on decoding, vocabulary, and background knowledge all working together, and it is practiced with questions about main idea, inference, and detail.
