cold read

The act of fishing for information, either from a gullible paying customer or from an audience who have just been told to be "open-minded", in which any positive feedback is followed deftly as though coming in "on the astral".

Cold reading:

Hello, I'm getting something ... there is someone who has recently died ... yes, someone has, hasn't they? ... a man, no I didn't think so, either, a woman then, an old woman ... no, dreadful isn't it? ... I'm thinking cancer, no?... a car crash ... yes, and it was tragic, and she was before her time too, would I be correct in saying this? ...

selective reading

When you have no intention of reading someone's bullshit. So you scan read and only pick out what is relevant to you.

JamsBeam: "I'm going to write a name with my right hand and I'll eat a chip with my left hand"
Me:"are you having a Ketos session Bro?"
JamsBeam:"How does your mind completely erase the word write and replace it with masturbating?"
Me:"it's called selective reading"

reading game

The Reading Game is a question and answer game built by you, the quality of the questions and the contents of the quizzes is up to the users. It is a Moodle module to be released later this year 2013. It leverages game mechanics to make the participants' interactions with the game, fun. The quality of the questions and quizzes is up to the participants who receive points for their efforts in both asking and answering questions. Participants can also rate questions, allowing them to directly impact the contents of review quizzes, while also activating a secondary reward called 'stars' for those participants whose questions are deemed outstanding by their peers. The acts in the game form the basis of continuous formative feedback and meta-cognition.

What is the reading game?
a. a question and answer game built by you and your cohort of learners
b. is inspired by medieval scholarship of reading books and questioning texts
c. is based on Socratic dialogues between teacher and learner
d* a lot of fun to play because of the above choices

Good Read

When someone "reads" a situation well.

read/edit

In writing, or especially in typing, when you read over something you've already written and make modifications as you go. For example, you read "happy, joyful, optimistic" and change it to "happy, joyful, and optimistic." Read/editing is usually done in a casual situation, like a Facebook message to a friend, but can also apply to more serious situations, like your college application.

Martha was nervous about the message her text would send, so she spent a minute read/editing it.
