​As human beings, we have many important ways to convey and understand information as we communicate. We are born with ears and never learn to hear - how to say it. As kids, we grow up learning how to speak by listening to the people who are close to us and imitating others.

​Reading and listening are receptive skills. While listening and

reading share many comprehension processes, there are differences in the way the information is processed.
