There are levels to reading, and that is not most people understand. In my opinion, people just go with their lives without learning these different levels. Of course, I am just able to understand it because of my line of work. I am both a teacher and I writer, so I know a lot when it comes to this. I plan on holding a seminar and make people understand it a lot more. I will try my best to share the knowledge that you have.
