Components or Reading

Phonological Awareness

Decoding & Word Recognition

Decoding refers to a person's ability to read a word by de-coding the word by sounds or word chunks. We often refer to this as sounding out a word.

Word recognition is the ability to recognize word forms fast and accurately. Some may refer to this as reading sight words.

Vocabulary

The ability to understand the meaning of words and word parts.

Reding Comprehension

The ability of a person to understand text that they have read independently.

Understanding text that has been read to you is Listening Comprehension.

Both of these are dependent on a person's ability to understand Language.
