Rauding

Rauding is a word derived from two words - reading and auding. Reading means to look at words and determine their meaning and auding means to listen to words and determine their meaning. The term rauding focuses upon the fact that the comprehension processes underlying typical reading and auding are the same. When individuals understand most of the complete thoughts in the material they are reading, they are said to be rauding. It involves looking at each consecutive word in the sentences of textual material and attempting to formulate the complete thoughts that the writer intended to communicate.
