“Reading” is the process of the reader melding their prior knowledge with the information suggested in the preceived text through the skill of word or symbol identification.
Reading Quote: “It is not enough to simply teach children to read; we have to give them something worth reading. Something that will stretch their imaginations – something that will help them make sense of their own lives and encourage them to reach out toward people whose lives are quite different from their own.” Katherine Paterson
