The Situation of the Reader:

As a reader I can have two different experiences; I can choose to be merely the audience and outsider or put myself into the story and become immersed within it. Reading aloud has always been most beneficial to me in order that I retain the information longer and with more understanding. When I do read aloud I read with different tones and sometimes according to the text facial expressions appear and I get into the reading. I prefer to hold a hard copy in my hand rather than reading everything off from a screen, and I usually end up with a dictionary/ thesaurus. Re-reading is one way I found that works for me, and expanding my vocabulary.

I strongly believe that a book has the power to transport a person to another world and open our imagination to unknown avenues of our brain.
