Introduction
Reading is a complex process which requires decoding of symbols and deriving meaning out of it. It is the basic means of communication and helps to share ideas and information. In contrast to reading, Science is the systematic representation of facts and knowledge which is derived from various explanations and experiments conducted. It is a logical and rational explanation of knowledge.
Even though both the concepts are varied, there is a lot of resemblance between the two.
Test: Successful reading requires testing in order to develop lexical as well as sub-lexical reading. On the other hand for a theory to be proved scientifically, testing is required
Reports: While reading requires reading and understanding the written text and submitting book reports and papers, science requires undertaking experiments to prove the facts and ultimately documenting the results
Assignments: After reading a text, one is required to undertake assignments and answer questions whereas for scientific experiments diagrams are to be made that explain the experiment in detail.
Improvisation: Reading is an ongoing process where new words are added regularly and improvisations are made, similarly, scientific experiments are improvised regularly with new findings for the same experiments using better technology.
Technological progress: The conservational reading of book has been replaced with better technological techniques such as reading over the internet, using e-readers etc. Scientific knowledge has advanced manifolds thanks to the advanced technological procedures which enable to record better findings and new concepts.
Conclusion
Both the concepts of Reading and Science are unique in their own right but have many notions that overlap each other. Their contrasting nature is bounded by the common factor that each is dependent on the other to be understood and comprehended.
