Reading = your eyes dancing across the page, words being accommodated in your head.
Decoding = the translation you do in order to understand what you're reading, that suppose comprehension.
Not all the minds identify the meaning in the same manner. You can say reading is something used to pass through a piece of paper and assume what it is about, maybe something else: comprehension. But in my perspective reading is the process in which we can build a general view of what is written, if you don't do that you're not reading, that would be called "cheking words". At the same time, reading take us into other worlds, different kinds of thinking and places where we experience the meaning of "human mind".
Reading is one of the most important skills we have to achieve and practice since we are preparing ourselves to be "teachers". Never mind these readings are in Spanish or another language, our minds have to recognize and work with that information given with a structure and a background (culture). So, we're building, step by step, a great bunch of knowledges in order to be good teachers, but at the same time, good learners.
Up-to-date technology has evolved and has improved the ways we can get access to information, it is true that this development brought some consequences like the moving on new styles of reading, letting "direct contact: person-book" senseless, but it's easier for us to keep in touch with all kinds of possibilities by clicking on internet.
Reading is a matter of syntax, vocabulary, cultural awareness and everything because we're exploring and discovering a whole new world into someone's mind. That is the only fact that makes us conscious: world is what you make of it, real or fake, we're thoughts.
