The reading It is an absolutely human activity, which allows us, thanks to its realization and implementation, for example and among other things, interpret a poetry, a story, a novel, that in strictly literary terms, but also to reading we will owe the possibility of interpret signs, body movements, give or receive teaching.
Obviously and on account of the latter that I was telling you about teaching, reading is closely linked to the learning process and of course, it will be elementary to bring it to fruition. According to linguistics and cognitive psychology, two of the disciplines that are responsible for the study of how human beings perceive and understand writing, man perceives the environment by vision with fixations and saccades. When you fix your gaze, you fix it on a motionless object or point and the saccades will allow you to redirect your gaze from one fixation point to another. So, the human eye does the same when it reads a text, recipe, diary or book.
Under normal conditions, a person can read up to 250 words per minuteMeanwhile, when it comes across an ambiguous text or some part that is not fully understood, human beings make use of regressions, which are taken in the opposite direction from left to right that is generally used for reading.
As reading is so important and decisive in the learning process, it has been deeply studied how to improve its techniques, which will aim to meet two issues inherent to its effective performance, which will be to achieve the maximum speed but without resigning the understanding of what is being read.
This is why sequential, intensive and punctual reading is proposed.. Sequential is the most common way to read a text, the speed will be what the reader is used to putting into practice and there will be no omissions or repetitions. In the intensive, the emphasis will be placed on understanding the full text and the author's intentions, that is, what he says and how he says it will be analyzed.
And the punctual is the one through which the reader will only read what interests him, for example, from an extensive research note that appears published in the Sunday newspaper, he will only read the column that the columnist wrote with whom he agrees in appraisals regularly and will skip the rest of the accompanying text.
