Text interpretation is the ability of a person to understand what is written in a textual message, being able to think and reflect from what he has absorbed after reading.

Understanding a text is the analysis and decoding of what is actually written, either the sentences or the ideas present. Text interpretation, on the other hand, is linked to the conclusions that we can reach by connecting the ideas of the text with reality.
