Abstract
This is an encyclopedia entry; no formal abstract is provided. The entry presents the New Literacies of Online Reading Comprehension framework, arguing that reading on the Internet requires additional skills, strategies, and dispositions beyond those needed for offline print reading. It addresses the deictic nature of literacy—the idea that what it means to be literate continuously changes as new technologies emerge—and situates online reading comprehension within broader questions of educational equity and access.
