<![CDATA[This paper is aimed at discussing the ways how to comprehend three kinds of meanings-literal. inferential and critical in reading. These kinds of meanings should be understood by a reader in order that he/she can comprehend a reading text completely. The reader is not only demanded to identify factual information in the text, but also is required to read all information in it. As it is knorvn. there are three types of comprehension. that is, literal comprehension, inferential comprehension and critical- comprehension. By literal comprehension, a reader just read all facts in the text, but by inferential comprehension the reader should read what happens behind the facts. Furthermore, the reader is also demanded to read beyond the lines, namely, try to evaluate the messages given by the writer. For this purpose, a reading teacher should be able to help a student to cope with these kinds of meanings. The teacher tries to vary his/her rvays in teaching reading in order to achieve this goal. By this effort, it is expected that the students' reading ability will increase from time to time.]]>
