From Present to Future: Beyond "Becoming a Nation of Readers." Technical Report No. 443.

Year: 1988

Type: article

Abstract: This paper takes a critical look at the Commission on Reading report, Becoming a Nation of Readers, to suggest some directions for future research.Becoming a Nation of Readers was written to synthesize numerous lines of research in a clear and cohesive form that could be read by the average informed citizen.Although this report has been hailed as the definitive statement about reading, some of the key issues are buttressed by less than conclusive evidence.This paper pulls apart some of the general statements made in the report and focuses in depth on three issues: motivation and reading, comprehension instruction, and emergent literacy.
