Misreadings are mistakes in reading or interpreting text. Synonyms for misreadings include misinterpretation, misunderstanding, misconstruction, misapplication, and miscomprehension. When we encounter text, we must be careful to avoid misreading it, as this can lead to errors in our understanding and communication. Misinterpretation is a common type of misreading, which involves misunderstanding the meaning of words or phrases. A misunderstanding can occur when we misread the tone or intent of a message. When we make a misapplication, we are using a particular piece of information in the wrong way. Miscomprehension is a broader term that refers to a lack of understanding of a subject or concept.
