Reading comprehension is one of the components of reading literacy, and also bears on the learning process and student outcomes overall. There are different meta-cognitive, motivational and emotional factors which contribute to reading comprehension. Our study included 470 5th grade primary school students. In this paper authors propose a confirmatory model of reading comprehension. The following factors are included in the model: meta-cognitive factors (vocabulary, reading speed, summarizing, and meta-cognitive reading knowledge), motivational factors (reading interest and reading competency), and emotional factors (feelings during recreational reading and academic reading). The model shows the direct and indirect effects of the evaluated factors on students' reading comprehension. These effects have important implications for future educational practice.
