READING AS A PROCESS

Reading involves many processes.
Physiological
Cognitive
Communication
Psycho-social

READING AS A PHYSIOLOGICAL
PROCESS
![Page 4: Reading as a Process](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/58ef43f81a28ab790b8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
PHYSIOLOGY•Physiology is the science dealing with the functions and vital processes of living organisms.

How is reading as a physiological process?

Eyes see the printed word
or the images.
Light patterns from the printed symbols
hit the foveal areas or closely-packed
sensory cells of the retina.
Chemical change is induced that create
patterns of nerve currents into the optic nerve fiber. Currents
travel to the center of the mid-
brain.
Using the currents, the
cerebral cortex interprets the
symbols.

What are the different eye movements involved in reading?

• Eyes stopping or getting fixated on the word or words• The duration of fixation is the length of time the eyes
has to pause.Fixation
• Eyes moving from stopping point to the otherInter-fixation
• Eyes swinging back from the end line to the beginning of the next line
Return Sweeps
• Short quick hop and jump movements done especially by literate people to move ahead on a line of printSaccades
• Backward right-to-left movement in case there is a need to double check what is being readRegressions

READING AS A COGNITIVE PROCESS
![Page 10: Reading as a Process](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/58ef43f81a28ab790b8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
TWO STEPS INVOLVED IN COGNITION:
• The extraneous process creates a stimulus on the visual centers of the brain. This consists in two essential aspects, namely, word recognition or the written symbols and attentive adjustment by the reader on these symbols.
• Fusion/ interpretation/ construction of meaning by the mind out of the stimuli.
![Page 11: Reading as a Process](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/58ef43f81a28ab790b8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
These two steps involve other complex processes which include:
Immediate arousal of association in recognition of the written symbols --- their pronunciation, vocabulary meaning, context, etc.
Other stimuli inclusive of kinesthetic or auditory
These stimuli are distributed to brain centers (instinct, feelings, imagination, reason, abstract intelligence, will)
Synthesis or the fusion of related inputs from brain centers resulting in the recognition of the meaning of the printed symbols

EVALUATIVE – judgment on the reading material such as the information on data, the event, persons involved, etc.
APPLIED - forming opinions and applications
INTERPRETATIVE - what is read combined with one’s subjective ideas
LITERAL - knowing what is read as is (who, what, when, where,)

Higher comprehension skills are characterized by:
1. Self-awareness2. Careful reading and greater
retention3. Making previous assumptions or
hypothesis4. The deliberate and combined ability
to reflect, question, classify, summarize, and predict
5. Information reading which gives attention to SQ3R

How is reading as a communication
process?
![Page 17: Reading as a Process](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/58ef43f81a28ab790b8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
LANGUAGE is a code system used by
humans to communicate. And as there are diverse
languages, there are diversities in
the code system or symbol system as devised and used
by man.
![Page 18: Reading as a Process](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/58ef43f81a28ab790b8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Characteristics of Language
![Page 19: Reading as a Process](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/58ef43f81a28ab790b8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
1. Clarity• The reader can more easily and immediately
understand language when the code symbols are concrete rather than abstractions (universal ideas) and generalizations.
Example: Many students attended the student council
meeting.Improved: Ninety-five college students attended
Tuesday’s student council meeting.
![Page 20: Reading as a Process](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/58ef43f81a28ab790b8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
2. Simplicity• Complex wording written for the sake of
verbal erudition is less easily understood, compared with what is expressed directly and to the point.
Example: Shall we partake of our repast?
Shall we eat?Mother’s culinary dishes are exquisite.
Mother cooks well.

3. Adapted Language• Words of expression should relate to the
reader’s age, educational attainment, gender, ethnic origin, other personal factors. The inappropriate use of technical or specialized words should also be avoided.
![Page 22: Reading as a Process](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/58ef43f81a28ab790b8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
4. Forceful• Stimulating language provides color,
interest and excitement.Example: He speaks at length while saying little.
He spews forth words --- and says nothing.

5. Vivid Language• Vivid wording is descriptive and stirs the
senses of the reader.– Very good salesman --- crackerjacker persuader– Dishonest and evil --- festering corruption– Trouble spot --- seething hell

process?

1. People read messages from official communication, mass media and the internet.
2. Reading is a social activity that engages humans in the world.
3. Reading is also professional as it is a form of communication done in all the professions and human pursuits including scientific and technological research and studies.
4. Reading is a unique activity which you can adopt every day.
