On the other hand, the latter is concerned with both reading and thinking skills. Deep reading is by far the most crucial and significant endeavor to ponder on when one likes or decides to read something. The act of reading must trigger the relationship between words and mind. If this happens, reading may just become overwhelmingly rewarding because it would nourish not only one’s mind but also one’s spirit. It would compel one to question himself the very idea of why he is reading or what he is reading about and how such activity affects him and or others in the aspect of human relationships and world views. Deep reading is to complex to execute but quite too compelling to take on. It must kindle the human spirit with the notion that everything has a reason and it should be for the universal good and benefit …show more content…

    While it may be true that even if a student is reading Sports Illustrated, they will still become more literate and reflective than if they hadn’t read at all, it is also true that the student is then less likely to read the same desired material outside of class because they are already being forced to read it inside of class. Moreover, if class time is spent reading something such as Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers: The Story of Success, the student will be more inclined to read Sports Illustrated outside of class; thus, increasing their reading time altogether. On the report of Engaging Schools: Fostering High School Students’ Motivation to Learn, “studies have shown that students who read outside of school become better readers (Anderson, Wilson, and Fielding, 1988; Fielding, 1994; Guthrie, Schafer, Wang, and Afflerbach, 1995)” (64). Therefore, by engaging in materials which the students may not be interested in during the school day, they will be more likely to read other subject matters outside of school and consequently increase their reading

    After gaining access to a library card and continuously checking out books from the library, Wright’s love for reading was renewed, for he gained “nothing less than a sense of life itself” from reading these books (Wright 250). Additionally, it evoked a “new hunger” within him, one that was no longer physical, but emotional (Wright 250). By comparing his love for reading to the words “life” and “hunger,” he proves how strong his growing desire to read and engage with books is becoming, a desire that is as crucial to living as food. Furthermore, by falling back in love with reading, Wright displays how it is possible to find personal success even when the path along the way may not be clear. Similarly, Rodriguez finds himself in a similar situation to Wright, for he initially did not enjoy reading; however, his increased engagement with texts taught him to find it “a pleasurable activity” (Rodriguez 66).

    This provides a time period in how fast our minds and patience can be affected by what we decide to do. Our brains are not to be played with, as we have billions of neurons to keep creating connections to; by learning and expanding our knowledge as their food source. Reading can expand our imagination and thought, as we should be questioning how the author provides information or detail, because there is a purpose to why the author places certain words and sentences to create such a piece. There was once a traditional way of reading which was simply understanding what was read. Now, we are learning a modern way, “our ability to interpret text, to make the rich mental connections that form when we read deeply and without distraction, remains largely disengaged”.

Since reading is always a part of our everyday routine, we have lost the idea that when it comes to learning how to read, we must start from the basics. From reading a case study, to reading a letter from a loved one, comprehension, phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and oral language are the six essential components of reading. Before a child develops the ability to read, they begin to develop comprehension. Comprehension can be defined as the ability to understand.
