Reading is a complex cognitive process of decoding symbols in order to
construct or derive meaning (reading comprehension). Reading is a means
of language acquisition, of communication, and of sharing information
and ideas. Like all languages, it is a complex interaction between the
text and the reader which is shaped by the reader’s prior knowledge,
experiences, attitude, and language community which is culturally and
socially situated. The reading process requires continuous practice,
development, and refinement. In addition, reading requires creativity
and critical analysis. Consumers of literature make ventures with each
piece, innately deviating from literal words to create images that make
sense to them in the unfamiliar places the texts describe. Because
reading is such a complex process, it cannot be controlled or restricted
to one or two interpretations. There are no concrete laws in reading,
but rather allows readers an escape to produce their own products
introspectively. This promotes deep exploration of texts during
interpretation.[1] Readers use a variety of reading strategies to assist
with decoding (to translate symbols into sounds or visual
representations of speech) and comprehension. Readers may use context
clues to identify the meaning of unknown words. Readers integrate the
words they have read into their existing framework of knowledge or
schema
