I welcome you to consider this idea: A person’s behavior broadcasts their beliefs. Every action was once nothing more than a thought in the actor’s mind. So what they are doing is simply a reflection of how they are thinking. And their thinking is somewhere emerged through indulging in the skill of reading.

The skill of ‘Reading’

Reading is a skill that is often taken for granted. The readers may not even be aware of their shortcoming, because creative reading is not as widely recognized a skill as creative writing.The success of creative writing and reading work in tandem, with the reader being able to match the writer’s wavelength.

Reading cannot be controlled or restricted to one or two interpretations. There are no concrete laws in reading, but rather allows readers an escape to produce their own products introspectively. This promotes deep exploration of texts during interpretation.

Why should I read?

Cognitive benefits:

Reading books and writing are among brain-stimulating activities shown to slow down cognitive decline in old age, with people who participated in more mentally stimulating activities over their lifetimes having a slower rate of decline in memory and other mental capacities.

When learners read for real purposes of their own, they welcome knowing how to figure out meaning more effectively and efficiently.

The essence of creative reading:

The reader should match the content and intensity with that of the writer.

If the reader is not a perfect heart-mate of the poet, he still may enjoy the poem, though his enjoyment will not be optimum. However, it can be safely said that creative reading is a skill that can be honed to a fair degree through training and practice.
