Haas and Flower 2

After my second reading of Haas and Flower, I really didn't notice a difference. I understood the material quite well, but marking it up helped me notice important parts of the research. Throughout my first reading of Haas and Flower, I didn't really take a lot of time to read it, but the second reading made me appreciate the information more. I found it more interesting and it made it easy to develop questions from. It was an interesting article and they were well researched, but I can't help but think that reading aloud may not exactly reflect how well a reader comprehends. I know that if I had to read aloud and say every thought that came to my mind I would get very distracted and it would not be a good reflection of exactly how well I'm obtaining the information. I know that the readers who were "mature" may have been more experienced and their thoughts more organized, but there may have been a "mature" reader who didn't know or understand the idea of the experiment.
