What are reading skills?
Reading skills are abilities that pertain to a person's capacity to read, comprehend, interpret and decode
written language and texts. Exceptional reading skills can be highly beneficial to assimilating and
responding to written communications like emails, messages, letters and other written messages. Using
reading skills in the workplace can also be important for ensuring effective written communication, which
can result in less miscommunication or misunderstanding of expectations.
Reading skills can also encompass several key aspects that work together to develop overall literacy skills,
including comprehension, fluency, vocabulary and strategies that help readers interpret and find meaning in
texts.
