The Effective Use of Reading

Why do some pupils gain so much more from their reading than others? As the importance of effective reading in all subjects is increasingly being recognized, particularly in view of the demands of mixed-ability teaching, it is essential to understand as objectively as possible the factors which determine reading efficiency. Topics include learning to read, reading to learn, comprehension, readability of texts, classroom reading contexts, reading for homework, topic work, reading laboratories, improving reading through group discussion.
