[ Comprehension ]

If you understand something, it’s a synonym to say you comprehend it. There are many ways to gain knowledge (comprehension): by reading, listening, observing, and practising. 

Reading is probably one of the most common and most important methods of gaining comprehension.

Reading for comprehension for long periods of time isn’t easy.  It uses a lot of energy, surprisingly, the way it taxes your brain.  Longform reading also sharpens your ability to take information in, process it and reason with it.  Reading is like running – you can’t run 5km on day one; similarly, reading for a long time needs practise too.
