@GenePOuellette @KrashenStephen @MohammadNazzem @DavidD_Qian In my point of view, “As a person reads and learns more about a given topic, our schemata or in other words how the brain functions within cognitive thinking can change through growth, reorganization, and error correction.” Pre-existing words are already in our long-term memory.

@GenePOuellette @DavidD_Qian @KrashenStephen Therefore, they process the text as a whole and allow a deeper understanding of connections and background knowledge to follow along with the reading.

@MohammadNazzem @reid__smith @GenePOuellette @KrashenStephen Very interesting debate! Our thread opened my eyes to pleasure reading and gaining vocabulary techniques. I definitely agree with you all. Psychological or educational, there is no harm in picking up a book and start reading.

@MohammadNazzem @reid__smith @GenePOuellette @KrashenStephen If anything, reading benefits in areas of working memory, vocabulary knowledge, word recognition, reading strategies, etc. The list goes on and the next thing you know, you can start developing reading as a hobby 📙🧡

@DavidD_Qian @reid__smith @GenePOuellette @KrashenStephen English language and literature department here! With all due respect, @GenePOuellette and @reid__smith “vocabulary breadth and depth of vocabulary are interconnected and major components of reading comprehension.”

@GenePOuellette @DavidD_Qian @KrashenStephen they can compensate for below average reading skill to the point where their recall of a text is similar to that of a skilled reader with similar knowledge.” Readers are capable of reading in between lines and make inferences to words that are unfamiliar.
