I say Wo0-Hoo to all people who can read fluently, as described on 154 of MCM, in a second lanuage. When I try to read in Spanish I find myself so concerned about every word, there is no flow. I need to practice again, but it'll have to wait, yet again.
As I read the list of assumptions I went duh! (At me, not the book.) Why would everyone know that? And actually, the first one caused me to fail an assignment in highschool. (There was a political cartoon in the center of an article. I didn't get the cartoon, but did understand the article. Unfortunately, the two were unrelated.)
My next, Duh, moment came in labeling items in the room. I've seen it in French, German and Spanish rooms...Duh.It is really the same concept. I'm just into lists right now, because I liked this list too. Actually I just get excited when it's time to talk about reading.

That's very true, the WORST part about reading in my L2 is the entire lack of flow. Once I get a rhythm going then all of a sudden I don't know a word and I have to stop reading, look up the word, and write it in the margins. Then I can't remember what I'm reading and I have to start the sentence over again. Blargh.
