Reading and Writing

“Like writing, reading is an act of composition. When we write, we compose thoughts on paper. When we read, we compose meaning in our minds. Thoughtful active readers use the text to stimulate their own thinking and to engage with the mind of the writer.”

Stephanie Harvey, Strategies That Work, 2000, 14.
