Reading is the cognitive process of deriving meaning from written or printed text.It is a means of language acquisition,of communication,and of sharing information and ideas.Effective readers use decoding skills to translate printed text into the sounds of language; use morpheme,semantics,syntax and context cues to identify the meaning of unknow words and activate prior knowledge (schemata theory); use comprehension to demonstrate fluency during reading.
Studies have shown that American children who learn to read by the third grade are less likely to end up in prison,drop out of school,or take drugs.Adults who read literature on a regular basis are nearly three times as likely to attend a performing arts event,almost four times as likely to visit an art museum,more than two-and-a half times as likely to do volunteer or charity work,and over one-and-a-half times as likely to participate in sporting activities.Literacy rates in the United States are also more highly correlated to weekly earnings than IQ.
A graph showing this relationship is shown here.Reading books is generally regarded as being a relaxing pasttime,while at the same time requiring the brain to process text so it can be stimulated.Because of this it is sometimes considered to cause at least a temporary increas in one's mental faculties.
