Summary: Transdisciplinary approaches involve multiple disciplines and the space between the disciplines with the possibility of new perspectives "beyond' those disciplines. Where multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary inquiry may focus on the contribution of disciplines to an inquiry transdisciplinary inquiry tends to focus on the inquiry or issue itself" (Holistic Education Network, 2013). Reading involves various processes like decoding, analyzing, and actively constructing meaning. Grabe (2004) suggested that reading "implies processing efficiency, language knowledge, strategic awareness, extensive practice in reading, cognitive resources in working memory to allow critical reflection, and appropriate purposes for reading" He also explains the various processes involved in reading: a rapid and automatic process, an interacting process a flexible and strategic process, a purposeful process, and a linguistic process. It throws light on the complex nature of reading and on the necessity of a transdisciplinary approach. Hence the problem of the present study is titled: 'A Transdisciplinary Approach to Reading.
