This deals with what the author means by what is said. The reader must simply read between the lines and make inferences about things not directly stated.
Inferential Comprehension
This concerns itself with why the author says what he or she says. This high level of comprehension requires the reader to use some external criteria from his/her own experience in order to evaluate the quality, values of the writing, the author’s reasoning, simplifications, and generalizations.
Critical Comprehension
Understandings at the literal and interpretive levels are combined, reorganized and restructured at the applied level to express opinions, draw new insights and develop fresh ideas.
