Reading and Writing definition

Reading: The act of looking over and taking in a word or series of words. Reading is being able to comprehend a text and formulate it into an understandable idea. Harris believes that in order to read a text you have to be able to understand it and form your own opinions on the subject. You can look at the word "dog" and have no idea what it means but when you look at the word "dog" and understand what it is and what importance it has to the text that means you have read the word "dog".

Writing: The act of expression through words. Writing is used to bring an idea into the physical world. A thought, idea, or story is essentially nonexistent until it can be made obtainable to others, like in a method such as writing.
