READING
“ Reading " is the process of looking at a series of written symbols and getting meaning from them . When we read , we use our eyes to receive written symbols ( letters , punctuation marks and spaces ) and we use our brain to convert them into words , sentences and paragraphs that communicate something to us . Reading can be silent ( in our head ) or aloud ( so that other people can hear ).
Reading is a receptive skill - through it we receive information . But the complex process of reading also requires the skill of speaking , so that we can pronounce the words that we read . In this sense , reading is also a productive skill in that we are both receiving information and transmitting it ( even if only to ourselves ).
