Cubing- First Paper

Describe-
Reading is the process of looking at symbols and recognizing their order and attaching meaning to it. There are many rules that govern it and many exceptions to those rules. There are also different "levels" to reading, or the difficulty of the written words and their to structure to associate with objects and to pronounce out loud.

Analyze-
There are 26 different symbols, or characters, in the English alphabet. Each one has its own meaning and is combined with others in different ways to create words which represent something. The words are combined to create a sentence which then communicates something. It can be difficult for a beginner reader to recognize and pronounce words, let alone sentences or whole books.

Compare-
Learning to read is similar to learning to write and speak. They involve the same steps applied in different ways. Learning to speak is usually the easiest because you can learn just by listening and learning how to make the sounds. While reading requires you to associate written symbols with the spoken words and ideas that you have. It is also similar to learning to skateboard because it takes a lot of practice and hard work. You will start out being unable to do anything but slowly you will improve and be able to read faster and more difficult stuff just like you will be able to skate at faster speeds and learn harder tricks the more you practice.

Apply-
Once you learn to read you can learn more stuff about other subjects whose information is written down. You will be able to read a book and live through an adventure that someone else had or thought of. You will become more worldly and will be able to view and understand more ideas and opinions that are different than your own. You will be able to communicate with people non verbally which can be helpful in many cases.
