Reading, Linguistic Awareness, and Language Acquisition

Most of us who speculate about the reading process begin by considering the nature of the relationship between listening to speech and reading text. Are these two mental processes essentially the same, apart from a difference in input modality? Or are they essentially quite different, despite their shared linguistic character? My view is that reading, though closely related to listening, is different from it in some very crucial respects.
