Summary

UNIT 4-5: Writing and Reading Skills Continued
Reading
Reading involves understanding written language. Through reading what an author has written, you (the
reader) set out to understand and respond to the author’s message. Reading involves the processing of the
written material before you against the background of your earlier experience and concepts. The definition of
reading given by G. Bond, M. A. Tinker and B. Wasson (1979) in Reading Difficulties (New Jersey: Prentice Hall,
4th ed., p. 5) embodies this concept. They say that reading is the recognition of printed or written symbols which
serve as stimuli to the recall of meanings built up through the reader’s past experiences. In short, the reading
process involves both the acquisition of meanings intended by the writer and the reader’s own contribution in
the form of interpretation, evaluation, and reflection of these meanings.
Academic
All students pursuing courses beyond high school have to grapple with new and unfamiliar concepts, specialized
vocabulary and tense or complex writing styles. What is more, the style and vocabulary vary from one subject to
another. This means that different mental processes are called for as you move from one content area to
another.
You will also discover that as a university or college student, you are expected to work independently, to keep up
with assignments and lecturers and pass your examinations without any prodding from your lecturers. At this
level lecturers direct you to the sources of information and tell you what specific learning skills or types of
knowledge you need to acquire. Your task is to go ahead and acquire them. Your academic success, therefore,
depends on your ability to benefit from this new, independent way of learning.
Academic reading is for the most part, study-type reading. It involves problem-solving. You must therefore learn
to analyze what is said in books, explore, discover and make adequate use of the reference material, and glean
information from all types of printed and non-printed media. This, in a nutshell, is what s involved in study-type
reading.

Purpose and Meaning of Reading
Indeed, reading should be viewed as a communication process between the writer and the reader. Thus the book
(or article) being read becomes the channel through which the writer communicates to his reader or recipient.
The writer becomes the sender of the message.
