All this suggests that reading may be more like the process shown in Figure 5.
The text functions like a do – it – yourself construction kit. The message in the writer’s mind is the perfect piece of furniture. The process of separating this into its component parts and packing them in a box with instructions for reassembly is a little like the process of putting thoughts into words and organizing them into a coherent text. A reader tackling a text resembles the amateur furniture maker unpacking his do – it – yourself kit and trying to work out how the pieces fit together.
