Teaching Writers to Anticipate Readers' Needs: A Classroom-Evaluated Pedagogy.

Schriver, Karen A.

Written Communication, v9 n2 p179-208 Apr 1992

Evaluates the reader-protocol method of teaching writers to anticipate readers' comprehension needs. Involves asking writers to predict readers' problems with a text and providing them with reader responses. Finds that writers taught with the reader-protocol method improved more than writers in control classes, and increased in their ability to diagnose and characterize problems. (PRA)
