is transitive, and the preposition changes the meaning: is reading the thing, is reading about a subject. The root spins out most of the vocabulary of reading on its own: is a reader as a person, o is reading matter, a is legible and i is to reread, where English needs a whole extra word. La怒tlegi covers reading aloud. Note that is to learn and is to teach; none of the three overlap the way they can in careless English.
