The Process of Understanding: Reading for Literary and Informative Purposes.
Langer, Judith A.
Research in the Teaching of English, v24 n3 p229-60 Oct 1990
Examines the approaches students use when reading for literary and informational purposes. Finds four recursive stances readers take in relation to the text: (1) being out and stepping into an envisionment; (2) being in and moving through an envisionment; (3) stepping back and rethinking what one knows; and (4) stepping out and objectifying the experience.
