Imagine your employer has just handed you an important document to read and tells you he expects a summary of the material on his desk by tomorrow. You take a look and see it is written in a language totally foreign to you. After your initial confusion, you may try to make some sense of it and scan the document. While you may be able to phonetically decipher the words and sound them out, that’s where your “reading” would end. You wouldn’t have any idea what the words you just read actually meant. How would you feel? Upset? Discouraged?
