The writer's viewpoint
Reading can often be seen as a passive activity; we sit and soak up stories or information. Actually, it's far more active that that! The writer will have put a great deal of time and energy into creating the text - aiming to entertain, persuade, inform, instruct, educate or explain something to their audience. We, as readers, read the text with our own expectations, beliefs, opinions and experiences. No two people will respond to a text in exactly the same way.
So, for it to be successful, the writer of a text has to find ways of manipulating the reader - to grab the reader’s attention and hold it until they have finished what they want to say. To do this, the writer has to write from the reader's viewpoint.
When answering Reading questions, you have to be able to work out how the writer is able to grab the reader's attention and spot what tools the writer uses to manipulate their audience to keep them reading. To do this, you will have to read from the writer's viewpoint.
