| | Abstract | We previously observed that “there is no theory of reading, because reading has too many components for a single theory” (Perfetti & Stafura, 2014, p. 1).1 In the pursuit of studying reading and reading development, then, research has largely been driven by flexible frameworks and specifc problems rather than by precise theoretical testing. How readers comprehend and how skill differences arise are intertwined problems in reading theory. We suggest that the reintroduction of a broad-scope, general framework for reading can aid the formulation of specifc hypotheses about reading expertise and reading problems. Following the presentation of the framework we take a closer look at on-line text-based comprehension processes. In this section, we discuss current work in our lab addressing the functionality of word knowledge and word processing in text and discourse comprehension. First, we consider the broader context for comprehension theories.
