The document discusses different levels of reading comprehension: decoding which involves sounding out words used in early grades and ESL; critical literacy used in high school which involves analyzing and discussing texts; and dynamic literacy where connections are made between content and other experiences potentially used in graduate school. Reading comprehension develops through these levels of decoding, critical literacy, and dynamic literacy.
