Reading about reading (or more about the brain)
I can find many reasons to continue reading and to encourage people reading, in more than one language better still. Considering we start reading since we are children, we can enjoy as many books as we manage to read. Sometimes, though, and for different reasons we can’t read very well or can’t read at all, which differs from reading without being able to show comprehension of what you read.
According to an interesting author, “Reading comprehension is one of the single most remarkable inventions in history and this extraordinary ability of the human brain, is able to make connections among its existing structures” (Wolf, 2004). So, the brain and other organs in our bodies- is linked with the human mind, and we are able to read because the brain and eyes, form the perfect camera for us comprehend what we read.
Reading can also be considered as a psychological process. This happens at the right back region of the brain, where experts have said that the successful comprehension of written words can be found.
Furthermore, images of the brain, which are called positron emission tomography (PET) scans, scientifically show that according to the precise nature of the task performed by a conscious human subject, different regions of the brain will be involved.
Then, several organs are part of an orchestra so we can not only read but also understand, analyse, internalise or critique. Organs such as your eyes are also really important so we don’t want to have a blurred vision; we better take care of our eyes, interest in reading as well as in what you are Reading.
