A. Read the paragraphs below.
“What is reading?
Reading is a conscious and unconscious thinking process. The reader applies many strategies
to reconstruct the meaning that the author is assumed to have intended. The reader does this
by comparing information in the text to his or her background knowledge and prior experience.”
“What is literacy?
Literacy is a set of attitudes and beliefs about the ways of using spoken and written language
that are acquired in the course of a person’s socialization into a specific cultural context.”
“It is important to clarify the relationship between reading and literacy, since research has
shown that they are not the same thing. In fact, the definitions and uses of literacy vary
culturally, and the cultural contexts of literacy are the underpinnings of the acquisition and use
of reading and writing.”
