    Reading is a complex process that involves physiological, cognitive, psycho-social, and developmental aspects. [1] Physiologically, reading requires eye movements and neural processing to interpret symbols. [2] Cognitively, it is a two-step process where the brain recognizes words and constructs meaning by associating symbols with pronunciation, meaning, and context. [3] Psycho-socially, reading is a social and professional activity that engages people in communication. [4] Developmentally, reading acquisition progresses through stages from simple to complex, influenced by maturation and social-cultural factors.

    Reading involves many processes:

    Physiological Development

    Cognitive Psycho-social

    Communication
    READING AS A
    PHYSIOLOGICAL
    PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGY
    • Physiology is the science
    dealing with the
    functions and vital
    processes of living
    organisms.
    How is reading as a
    physiological process?

    involved in
    • Eyes stopping or getting fixated on the word or words
    Fixation • The duration of fixation is the length of time the eyes
    has to pause.

    Inter-fixation • Eyes moving from stopping point to the other

    • Eyes swinging back from the end line to the beginning

    • Short quick hop and jump movements done especially


    Saccades by literate people to move ahead on a line of print

    span widens, fixation decreases resulting in increased

    READING AS A
    COGNITIVE
    PROCESS
    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, (a)word
    recognition or the written symbols and
    (b)attentive adjustment by the reader on
    these symbols.
    • Fusion/ interpretation/ construction of
    "meaning" by the mind out of the
    stimuli.
    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

    Higher comprehension skills are
    characterized by:
    1. Self-awareness
    2. Careful reading and greater retention
    3. Making previous assumptions or
    hypothesis
    4. The deliberate and combined ability to
    reflect, question, classify, summarize, and
    predict
    5. Information reading
    How is reading as a
    communication process?
    LANGUAGE is a code
    system used by
    humans to
    communicate. And as
    there are diverse
    languages, there are
    Characteristics of
    Language
    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.
    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.
    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
    How is reading
    as a
    psycho-social 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.
    How is reading
    as a
    Process of Development?
    1. There are stages of individual
    development in reading.
    2. The stages are interrelated, each stage
    being a preparation for the next.
    3. Development proceeds sequentially in an
    upward movement starting with the
    simplest to increasing levels of complexity.
    4. There are levels of difficulties in reading
    skills acquisition.
    5. Development is influenced by one’s
    personal maturation, social demands,
    values and aspirations.
