Reading as a Communication Process Reading can be consider as communication process, because the token or the symbols( litters or numbers) is not written, for as we will have to read, but it was wrote to deliver or to share our opinions or our emotions to whom who will read. Because of this, the writer or the discourse has a direct communication to reader through text he/she has been written. As we comprehend what has been written, we can emphasize what authors aim. So, we will have our reaction. Therefore, the reader and the writer has a communication to each other. That's why it called as a communication process.
