Moreover, making judgements or conclusions add meaning to what one reads. This comes the formation of the lesson-learned or the evaluation of the characters or the author's style which lead the reader to form values and attitudes that the book invites.
But reading alone doesn't end up there, in order to build higher rapport of comprehension, the most active manifestation out from reading is when the reader puts together what he has learned and use his knowledge in a related situation. This kind of application is the action gained out from what he learns in reading.
