Reading Process

When writers write, they use a clear process of writing, whether it be an active use or subconsciously  going through the steps, at least most of the time. In the Reading process, we read many different works for different reason. We read literature for personal enjoyment or we read textbooks or guides to learn or develop skills. I think it would be fair to say that we treat different things we read differently depending on purpose. Overall, I feel that there is ample evidence that we use a reading process similar to writing to understand and comprehend what was written. In textbooks, when we read we do more than just move our sight over the words, but take the time to ensure comprehension in reading. Our grades depend on it. This means that we first try to make sense of it, essentially brainstorming. Next, we often then review what was written on paper to look for more information and to make a better capture of the author's intent, or revision. After we have read or gone through a process of thinking and deliberation, we finalize our opinions and move on. This seems awfully similar to the writing process. We can go through all sort of mediums; newspapers, magazines, instruction booklets, cookbooks, and countless pinterest entries. If the information is easier to capture, no revision is necessary. Road signs and a lot of what we do on the internet is very passive. This and similar forms of material are not analyzed at near the same depth. However, we can easily see that  there is a process to reading and comprehension.
