1.1. Leland et al. (2013) highlight an important perspective on
comprehension. I agree to an extent: if a piece is completely
beyond our understanding, it's challenging to extract meaningful
insights from it. However, it's also through confronting complex
materials that we stretch our cognitive boundaries and learn.
Reading challenging texts, with the aid of tools or guidance, can
facilitate growth in understanding.
1.2. Reading and writing exhibit a symbiotic relationship in the
sense that mastery in one often enhances proficiency in the other.
When we read, we expose ourselves to diverse vocabulary,
structures, and ideas, which can then be incorporated into our own
writing. Conversely, the process of writing requires us to critically
engage with our thoughts and can lead to a deeper understanding
of what we read. An example of this interplay is when a student
reads a scholarly article on a specific topic and later writes an essay
or a reflection on it. The act of writing about the article forces the
student to process, analyze, and articulate the information from the
reading, further solidifying their comprehension.
