I agree with what you said about the social cues we read when someone or something is foreign to us. I also believe the strategies we develop to decipher what people are writing or trying to convey to us is essential in both reading and learning, in general. You did a great job on your Yodio.
Your response was very thorough, and covered aspects of reading and literacy that I hadn't fully explored until you'd mentioned them! I think one of the strongest sections of your dialogue was the mentioning of the reader connecting what they already know with what they learn, fully comprehending a text by not only what they bring personally, but what they can get out of it! Nonverbal body language, sign language, and Braille are all a type of "reading", the transmission of information and communication through a system of symbols. You provided many concrete and useful examples as well :)
Interesting connections between reading words, stories, signs, etc, and reading social cues. Your examples were solid and backed up what you were saying. Like Hilary, I hadn't thought of how closely related social situations, body language, and such are connected to reading. We do indeed bring our personal experiences to every situation when we are reading. Great work! :)
