Reading
Traditionally, reading was exclusive to elite people, the rich, and scholars. Nowadays, all people must read, and they have different reading purposes, depending on the reading material and the nature of their job. For example, someone who is reading non-fiction books about plants is likely reading with the intent to find out more about plants. The purpose of reading in this scenario is to learn something new. Another individual may be interested in reading stories, novels, or plays, hoping to find moral wisdom. People read fiction to be transported to different worlds and live vicariously through a character’s life, during which certain lessons are learned. This book explores the different types of reading, objectives, uses, and how to teach and learn reading. In the industrial age and the explosion of knowledge, the types and purposes of reading have differed from the past.
