Reading and comprehension are critical intellectual skills which have to be mastered for any worthwhile academic engagement. However, the tendency to equate mere literacy to these skills has led many people to take the skills for granted. This paper addresses the issue of reading comprehension through a painstaking methodical exploration of the technicalities involved to aid a mastery of the art. It does so with practical examples which are useful for self-teaching on the part of learners.
