ABSTRACT Reading comprehension is a complex task which depends on a range of cognitive and linguistic processes. According to the Simple View of Reading, this complexity can be captured as the product of two sets of skills: decoding and linguistic comprehension. The Simple View explains variance in reading comprehension and provides a good framework to guide the classification of reading disorders. This paper discusses how weaknesses in either or both of components of the Simple View are implicated in children’s reading comprehension difficulties. It concludes with reflections on the strengths and limitations of the Simple View as a theoretical and practical framework to guide our understanding of reading comprehension and its development.

- The Science of Reading Progresses: Communicating Advances Beyond the Simple View of Reading (2021, background): “Over decades, research studies have identified many productive modifications and additions to the original SVR, and many researchers have pointed to directions for understanding reading beyond the SVR (e.g., Catts, 2018; Cervetti et al., 2020; Hoffman, 2009; Nation, 2019; Snow, 2018).”
- The cognitive foundations of learning to read: a framework for preventing and remediating reading difficulties (2019, background): “…SVR is that it gives rise to a false impression about the separability of the two components of the model, word recognition and language comprehension, because several studies of the SVR have reported a substantial amount of shared variance between these two components (Catts, 2018; Nation, 2019).”
