reading
Let an agent explain how reading works and is learned, support literacy development and reading difficulties in general terms, help people find and choose reading material, and describe reading research and practices.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain how reading works and is learned, support literacy development and reading difficulties in general terms, help people find and choose reading material, and describe reading research and practices.
The cognitive process of decoding written symbols to derive meaning, and the activity, skill and academic discipline concerned with it, from learning to read and reading fluency to reading for study, pleasure and information, including specialised forms such as map reading and simplified reading for accessibility; reading is taught in education and studied in psychology and literacy research.
What it is for: Literacy, learning and enjoyment.
It can be explain how reading is learned; support reading skills and comprehension; address reading difficulties in general terms; help choose reading material.
