Reading Blindness

When there's a term in a text/book you are reading, and you don't know what the term means, nor is it being defined further into the text. You don't understand what the term adds to the context of what you're reading.

"This topic deals with the philosophy of egalitarianism. It plays a great part in..."

You: "Um... reading blindness much? Is this going to explain what egalitarianism is to us or no?"

Reading Between the Texts

Akin to the phrase “Reading between the lines” reading between the texts is a phrase used to describe the confusion of tone and implication in texting, especially with the member of preferred sex.

She texted me “Hey” but with 2 y’s. Maybe she thinks I’m cute, but I could be reading between the texts.

reading assignment

Something that teachers assign nearly every night. Students don't usually give a crap and read the assigned material, only to be in shock when there's a quiz on it the next day. On Rate My Professors, they can easily be denoted if they have the Get Ready to Read tag.

I heard our new teacher's a really tough grader. He puts out reading assignments every class and ends up quizzing you on it the next day.
