In “Why University Students Don’t Read: What Professors Can Do To Increase Compliance” Mary E. Hoeft questions whether why students don’t like to read the assigned textbooks. Hoeft found that it is essential to know that there is a multiple of things we can do to boost the completion of reading assignments, for the professors who consider reading completion to be the main component to schooling (qtd. in Hoft 15). Some of these things could include could giving out quizzes, supplementary assignments, and to give reminders and making it interesting at the same time.

Reading is not natural for humans we turn the symbols into something we understand. “And the media [and] or other technologies we use in learning and practicing the craft of reading [starts to shape] neural circuits inside our brains” (3). These circuits that are created by the internet is different than the circuits that were created from books and written
While reading there are various ways to gain a deeper understanding of the text. For example, one method a reader can apply to increase their understanding is rhetorical reading defined as “involves more than ‘agreeing’ or ‘disagreeing’” (Heasley et al. 89). Thus, requiring the reader to focus on the text and pay close attention to the rhetorical situation to comprehend how an argument is working. In detail, the rhetorical situation consists of the writer, reader, text/purpose, and context.

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”.
This is currently my first year enrolling in Richland College, but the experience is just the beginning. The earliest memory of reading was all the syllabus that each class had before school started. I chose to be in college because I’m striving for a better future, instead of working at a retail store and less pay for all the work I’ve contributed. Being an expert reader can help me out in the long run because it helps me with comprehension and critical thinking when I encounter a real world problem. Now getting in idea of what we are doing in class, I think you are doing just fine helping me prepare for what is ahead of me

In Mike Bunn’s reading “How to Read Like a Writer” he discuss the importance of being able to read as a writer. He explains why it’s necessary to be able to understand what the author is trying to get across. Being able to identify why a writer chose is a certain tone for his/her writing is what makes one a better reader.

When reading like a writer it facilitates one’s ability to understand to do this.
Literacy is an important capability to help function at school, on the job, and in society. Reading and writing are vital skills in finding a good job. Many well paid jobs require reading and writing as a part of the job. Literacy is important in all levels of employment.

In the 21st century, society is lacking the ability to read causing them to lack various skills as well-- “twenty-one percent of adults in the U.S. read below a 5th grade level, and 19 percent of high school graduates can’t read.” (The U.S. Illiteracy Rate Hasn’t Changed In 10 Years par.2). In the past, books were a primary source of entertainment, but with the invention of television, phones, computer games, and “electronic” books, it seems that reading books is no longer popular causing society to have a downfall in knowledge.

Before a child develops the ability to read, they begin to develop comprehension. Comprehension can be defined as the ability to understand.
