This interactive tool helps writers explore the diverse reasons why people read. Each tag represents a different reading profile, demonstrating how readers engage with texts for various purposes.
Reading is not a singular activity - even the same person might read the same book for multiple reasons at different times. By dragging these profiles around and discovering connections between them, writers can better understand the complex ways readers interact with their work.
To use: Click any tag to read the profile. Drag tags using the handle on the left side. When tags are placed close together, lines will appear to show potential connections between reading purposes. Explore these connections to deepen your understanding of reader motivations.
