2. Importance:
 Understanding more fully the nature of reading
 Offer important implication for reading instruction.
(as a processing activity)
 Review the general principles of human information processing,
including how brain transmits and process neural impulses.
 Will help to compare and understand the three specific view or
model of how processing is done by the reader.
(results of such processing is the linking together of the author’s
meanings and the meanings the reader stored in memory.

3. Reading as a Neuro-Physiological Process
Reading is a neural activity. Changes in the brain result from each
reading that you do. Whether you will continue to read or turn to
another activity depends on the connections that are made in the
brain while you read. Lack of success in learning to read may caused
by irregularities in the brain as it processes sensory data.

4. Neurons: The messengers of the brain
 Brain is a very complex organ. It is made up of huge
number of cells. Everything you do, feel and think
involves many areas of the brain.
(blinking, play a video game , or read.)
 Neurons are special nerves of the brain which sending
signals back and forth from the brain to see other parts
of the body.

5.  Glial cells acts like a net to hold all the
its delicate parts in place.
 Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) a special fluid
that baths the neuron and the glial cells.
This special fluid helpsneurons to send their
messages.
