Comprehension reading is the process of understanding and interpreting reading material by decoding, connecting with what one already knows, and critically thinking of what one reads. The three aspects allow us to internalize the material, reflect on the reading material, and elaborate on our ideas by reflecting on what we already know. One of the most significant reading challenges is understanding new concepts and vocabulary, making the content challenging. Once the material gets difficult, my focus is lost, leading to total diversion from the reading. The diversion can lead to a total dismissal of reading and focus on a different activity and procrastinating the whole reading.

These changes are expressed through our behavioral changes in facial expressions and body posture, and thoughts and expressions. Every individual expresses emotion; infants are no exception. Developmental changes cause a difference in emotional experience for the children. At the age of three, children can clearly comprehend their emotions, such as happiness and sadness.
