BBC Free Thinking - 'How to Read'
The word 'reading' may appear to describe something specific and universal, but in reality it's more of an umbrella term, covering a huge range of ways in which people interact with text. Dyslexia and hyperlexia may be two of the more obvious departures from normative ideas of reading, but whether we're neurodivergent or not we all read in different ways that can vary significantly depending on what we're reading and why we're reading it.
Matthew Sweet, BBC Radio 3 Free Thinking programme presenter, is joined by Matt Rubery, Louise Creechan and poets Debris Stevenson and Anthony Anaxagorou.
Listen to the programme on BBC Sounds.
