it's not reading in the case of kids learning to recognize words on a page. but it is taking in every other respect

Sister Allie Lewya, OSPI :
I have so many questions I don’t think I’ve seen adequately addressed. What’s the cognitive difference between reading a book and watching a movie? What’s the difference between watching a movie and listening to a book? What’s the difference between watching a movie with the audio description feature turned on and listening to a book? What’s the difference between watching a movie with subtitles and watching a movie without subtitles?

Sometimes I listen to a book, and a year later, I literally can’t figure out if I read it or heard it. And it’s not because I forgot the story, but because it’s just an immersive movie in my mind in either case.

As someone who reads a lot of audiobooks. I do try to read printed materials at least once a year but I don’t always have the time to just sit and read

Connecting to your profession: For church goers, there needs to be an understanding that every book of the New Testament, and many of the OT, were NEVER meant to be read silently. Every single text was meant to be performed out loud by a reader. Paul trained the carriers of his letters to preach those letters out loud. He taught the, often times women, pastors he sent to preach his letters the tone and inflections he desired to convey. Love this video.

I think too many people get caught up with the most used definition of a word. I get the confusion at first, but to hold onto it as if only one definition is allowed is so antithetical to understanding and processing words, which is undoubtedly part of reading

Yup! You don’t read with your eyes, you read with your brain. In fact, you don’t even really “see” the words on the page with your eyes (or not solely). Your eyes take in light, but it’s your brain that processes the data and results in sight. So, seeing (and therefore reading) is not something you do with only your eyes—it is something that occurs primarily in the brain.

It is absolutely 100% reading. Signed, a former language arts teacher and current librarian.

The real discourse though is if I listen to a book whilst I read it, have I read it twice?

I've been trying to read more poetry lately and I'm almost getting to the point where I think you haven't fully consumed the material until you've heard it performed or read it aloud. so I'm being unnecessarily exclusionary but in the other direction lol

I feel like people should know or forgets that stories and histories were told orally before the written word was involved. Plus a lot of didn’t know how to read until the printing press was invented. Soooo audio books are reading.

Before "reading" meant sight-reading it was a much broader term, and sight-reading was a subtype of reading. it just means the reception and processing of information. We still use it in other ways. "do you read me? I read you loud and clear," (aural reception) "it was written to and then read from the hard drive," (transfer of data) "read the room," (social evaluation) "I am reading for my degree," (study in general, mostly a UK term) "I read it back to them" (recitation). For all you "it's not technically reading" folks: no, your unconscious ableism has placed sight-reading as the primary definition of a word that means much more. Sight-reading is a type of reading, but it's far from the only type.

I do not understand why people care so much about how others consume books. It is so petty and ableist. I am on my 3rd visually consumed book this summer. During the school year, I only am able to consume audiobooks because of teaching and lack of time. Why would anyone else care how I or anyone else reads?

I think reading in not always super easy for everyone and it feels like a bit of effort. Listening, on the other hand, does seem easy. The physical books only folk may, in the back of their minds, want credit for the work.

Curious about your thoughts on my thinking here: that we probably wouldn't be okay with schools teaching "reading" and we were just teaching kids how to listen to written text (for legally blind people, Braille exists) and that the distinction between reading and listening to information, regardless of it being processed in the same way (I'm a neuroscientist, I understand this) is important because in our environment, in some ways governments would love if we couldn't read because it would make propaganda and information control easier
