What is reading? Reading is a multifaceted process involving word recognition,

comprehension, fluency, and motivation. Learn how readers integrate these facets to make meaning from print.( Diane Henry Leipzig)

Reading is making meaning from print. It requires that we: Identify the words in print – a process called word recognition Construct an understanding from them – a process called

comprehension Coordinate identifying words and making meaning so that

reading is automatic and accurate – an achievement called fluency

Cont…. Reading is the way a person gets information

from written letters and words. A person can read using sight or touch, such as when a vision-impaired person reads braille. http://www.nichd .nih.gov/health/topics/reading.cfm

Reading is asking questions of printed text. And reading with comprehension becomes a matter of getting your questions answered. - Frank Smith in Reading Without Nonsense (1997)

Cont… The Purpose of Reading. The purpose of reading is to connect the ideas on the

page to what you already know. If you don't know anything about a subject, then pouring words of text into your mind is like pouring water into your hand. You don't retain much. For example, try reading these numbers:

7516324 This is hard to read and remember. 751-6324 This is easier because of chunking. 123-4567 This is easy to read because of prior

knowledge and structure.
