The College of Education for Women at Basra University organized an electronic lecture on reading and its role in educating the individual and society

The lecture aims to introduce the individual to the importance of reading and to clarify strategies for successful reading that make him a reader familiar with knowledge and cultures in order to develop his science and culture.

The lecture held by the Continuing Education Unit at the College and presented by Mr. Ali Walid Fahd from the College of Education for Human Sciences at Anbar University included the definition of reading as a mental process that means the reader's perception of the written text, understanding and comprehending its contents, and it is an interactive process between the reader and the writer, and is considered an activity to obtain information.

Fahd addressed the types of readings, including exploratory reading, which is one of the readings that require training and is not generated from one hour to the next, but rather requires a high amount of skill and an attempt to understand. As for speed reading, it is in order to obtain a general meaning and idea about the content of a particular text, by passing the eyes. On sentences and phrases that contain details, then focus on the main points and outlines in the text.
