Reading for Results
I really like the greater emphasis on textbook readings. After all, the ultimate purpose of any college reading class ought to be the development of successful college readers. The greater emphasis on textbook readings should increase the relevance for my students while providing guided practice. I think that the selected readings should be interesting enough to hold students' interest."I do emphasize what readers and writers do, so including this (From Reader to Writer) is quite appropriate. Students need to see that the process of reading and writing are two sides of the same coin.
