To state the concept plainly, metacognition is the process of understanding the material beyond the literal meaning. It involves the reader’s reaction, reflection, feelings and experiences in response to the text or story. Understanding or interpreting the story or text is therefore different from one reader to another. The story line may remain the same but the experience, exposure and even age of the reader will enrich and make the story even more interesting as he responds to it as a feeling and thinking individual.
