Reading is an activity, a complex process that involves many strategies in order to understand the text you are reading, this complex process requires a cognitive ability in which the brain acts as a computer system decoding all the information.
There are people who can learn or catch the meaning by reading very easily because they have the ability to understand the syntax and structure of a text and for them this reading process is a good way to learn, that is called verbal linguistic intelligence.
But reading is not only that, reading is also a way to learn, to know something the author gives to you and extra information or maybe not, maybe just something you already know but with a different point of view.
You have to create a relation ship with the text, you have to give something if you want to learn about the text, not only learn also enjoy. For this reason strategies are very important in order to know what the text have for us.

ReplyDeleteYour definition is...you are not defining what reading is....
ReplyDeleteNo, in fact I think sky is giving us a claer definition of what we could call reading from the very begining, ¿isn't she saying reading is...? oh, yes, she's saying "reading IS and activity...", so, as far as I concern, that's what you need to give a definition.
ReplyDeleteI know. but I think it must be deeper.....
ReplyDeleteI agree with Monik...
ReplyDeleteThat's a good opinion, actually i wrote something else in order to have a deeper definition of reading.
