First, the visual cortex (6) processes the visual input from reading. Next, the visual association area (1) interprets this input. The Wernicke area (5) is involved in understanding the language. The Broca area (3) is responsible for speech production. The premotor area (2) plans the movements required for speaking, and finally, the primary motor area (4) executes these movements.
