The host of the radio station KUT and KUTX, Rebecca Mcinroy, quoted in one of her shows, “So, read, listen, watch, touch… it’s all working your brain in different and wonderful ways”(Mcinroy). When it comes to reading a book, there is said to be no right or wrong answer. It can take someone 3 years to finish a book as much as it takes someone 1 week, yet the book is still read, and the deed is accomplished. Yet while visual reading is applied more in a daily routine, auditorily reading has, and continues to, become wildly popular. There are many benefits to both, and of course people will voice their opinions, but the main question still lingers in the air: Which is better, auditorily or visually reading? I personally believe this argument is essential for reading. It has become a controversial topic for people of all ages, provoking them to argue over the beliefs and disbeliefs. If humans step back and attempt to comprehend both sides, they …show more content…
Decoding is the process in which the brain translates the strings of letters into meaningful sentences. Language Processing is the comprehension of everything that occurs in the novel. By the late years in elementary, decoding becomes a part of a person, so the brain does not have to do any additional work while reading a book(Science of Us). Growing up, reading a physical copy of a book becomes an easier task. Willingham states, “Some people enjoy curling up physically with a book” (Willingham). There is not a straightforward way to express the emotions and physical pleasure that comes when a book is physically read. All the time of the world is in the reader's hand, allowing them to read and re read until they are fully content. Daniel Willingham claims that “About 10 to 20 percent of the eye movements you make are actually regressions, where your eyes are moving backwards” (Willingham).
I think the most important reading benefit is Tranquility or Stress Reduction. I think Tranquility is most important because without being calm
To understand the reading one, have to understand and be able to identify the themes emphasized in the book. One of the main
Reading is not just reading words on a paper. It is a process that uses many resources in the brain and the use of strategies. Teachers have to use all six areas of reading to help students learn how to read, what strategies to use when reading, how to interpret a text and many more. Reading is a complex process and this paper will describe the six areas of reading.
We all have our opinions on how well we think we are at reading, I have my opinions and honestly, I think i’m pretty good at reading, but I have evidence and heres why.
Reading requires people to train their minds to understand the text. Media has also played a key role in shaping actual parts of the brain to understand written language. Studies have demonstrated that readers of different languages developed differently in the “mental circuitry” apart from each other’s language. In the brain, variations can be found all over the cognitive regions responsible for language. Car goes on to explain that one could assume that there will be differences between the use of the Net and reading physical matter.
When looking at the definition, there are two schools of thought. The first is that reading must include “using one’s eyes to decode ...
Reading involves translating symbols and letters into words or sentences. Anderson defines reading as a process of constructing meaning from a written text. We indulge in reading for many different purposes, be it survival, leisure or occupational. In a way, reading serves as a kind communication between the writer and the reader. The writer encodes what he or she wishes to convey while the reader decodes according to his or her own perception. Johnson quotes “A young man should read five hours in a day, and so may acquire a great deal of knowledge.”
Reading and books became a real struggle for me from elementary all the way to high school because I found it hard to comprehend the books that I was made to read. These books were not interesting to me and I found myself starring at pages for hours at a time and would not know or understand what I read.
The art of reading doesn’t come with instructions, if it has to be with paper or digital; it is just an art to acquire knowledge. Although, some people say they prefer paper books, because they can smell the scent of every sheet of paper, they consider that it is better to concentrate, their eyes don’t get dry and they do not need to be worried about charging the phone or tablet, since the paper books are never going to die on battery. On the other hand, some others like the electronic book way, and they indicate is easier to carry on, to manipulate, the price is lower than paper books, and the fact that they can have many books in one file. At the end, both are used with the same purpose to learn or entertain, but there is some advantages and disadvantages between them.

Nowadays, many people think reading is not necessary, since there are so many sources of information and types of entertainment, such as TV, cinema and the Internet. I believe they are wrong because reading is very beneficial in many ways.
Speed reading is an approach that allows readers to absorb large amounts of information in a short amount of time. It is used to increase reading efficiency, speed, and comprehension. This is not accomplished by simply forcing oneself to read as fast as possible, as doing so will meet with only limited success. Speed reading involves a complete transformation of how one reads, or at least how a person takes in information. From childhood most people are taught to read out loud, and then to read the same way, but silently (Cutler, 2002). The problem with this is that readers are limited to reading speeds comparable to their vocalization speeds. Subsequently, most readers will never achieve a higher reading rate than 150-250 words per minute (Culter, 2002).
Our readings reference many previously researched benefits of Interactive Reading which include (but certainly are not limited to) developing children's joy of learning, art of listening, vocabulary, concepts of print, patterns and structures of written language, understanding of different genres, oral language expression, and understanding of the components, structure, and function of narrative discourse, connection with others and the world. (Fisher et all, 2006, p. 8-16).
Reading is a complex construct, and it is difficult to capture what exactly is involved when a reader decodes words and understands the meaning of text (Hosp & Suchey, 2014). Reading comprises multidimensional sub-processes that include the understanding that symbols have meaning and the ability to decode these symbols to form words. Primarily, reading is a language skill and reading disorders are traditionally evaluated from language processing perspective (Swanson & Hoskyn, 1998).
Over the past few decades, researchers have proposed three reading models: the bottom-up (Gough, 1972; Rayner and Pollatsek, 1989), the top-down (Goodman, 1967,1988; Coady, 1979) and the interactive model (Rumelhart, 1980). The bottom-up model is a process that requires the reader to decode the printed words into sounds, and then decode the sounds into meanings (Brown, 1994). Subsequently, Weir and Urquhart (1998) stated that bottom-up model is text-driven, meaning the process starts with the text. The reader decodes a printed text serially, decoding the letter to words, words to phrases, and phrases to sentences in sequence (Gough, 1972). According to this point of view, if readers cannot recognize a word successfully they might have trouble
