The importance of reading comprehension is indisputable. National publications on the subject still occur in very modest numbers, given the restriction shown by Brazilians in terms of this skill. This paper presents the cognitive view of reading comprehension. While this theory considers the participation of cognitive functions of lower and higher level in reading comprehension, similarly to other theoretical models, it is distinguished by an emphasis on the executive functions and by the attempt to detail the process of comprehension. It also considers the reader’s standard of coherence as a modulator of this process. The model is presented and discussed in terms of its implications for clinical practice and education.
