1.1 Discuss some of the ways that reading helps you understand the world around
you. (4 marks)
Reading helps us understand the world in many ways. First, it helps us make sense of
our surroundings. For example, reading street signs, shop names, and instructions helps
us move around safely and confidently. Second, reading newspapers and magazines
helps us stay informed about current events, politics, and social issues. This allows us to
take part in conversations and make informed decisions. Third, reading social media
posts and messages helps us connect with others and understand different opinions and
cultures. Lastly, reading academic texts helps us think critically, analyse information, and
build knowledge for school and future careers.As explained by TUT501 (2020:8), reading
is not just about books—it includes visual literacy, social media, and everyday texts.
These forms of reading help us interact with people, understand society, and succeed in
education. When we read carefully and think about what we read, we become better
learners and more aware citizens.
