Reading is more than decoding, comprehending. Reading is reasoning, assessing, trying on interpretations, understanding contexts. A text is not a retainer waiting for someone to open it and peer inside; rather, a text is more like a partner; multiple texts meet, e.g., a writer's text, oral text that surfaces during discussion, reader's text, etc. So what is a text?
See Green and Harker, J. Golden's piece and the life history of a text. McHoul's readings.
How can we show students a range of contexts and how to select approaches for reading in these contexts? How are contexts constructed? How can students learn to read, view, listen to multimodal texts?
