Reading without comprehension is not considered as good reading. Literate learners are those who are able to read with comprehension. It is not enough that our learners are fast readers if they cannot process and comprehend such materials. Proof to this is the set of questions below each reading passage to assess whether or not our learners truly understood the material.

Comprehension is the essence of reading and the active process of constructing meaning
from text (Durkin, 1993). Reading comprehension is a complex interaction among automatic and strategic cognitive processes that enables the reader to create a mental representation of the text (van den Broek & Espin, 2012). Comprehension depends not only on characteristics of the reader, such as prior knowledge and working memory, but also on language processes, such as basic reading skills, decoding, vocabulary, sensitivity to text structure, inferencing, and motivation. Comprehension also requires effective use of strategic processes, such as metacognition and comprehension monitoring. As readers mature in their comprehension skills, they are able to progress efficiently from the stage of learning to read to the ultimate goal of reading to learn (Yovanoff, Duesbery, Alonzo, & Tindal, 2005).
