Creighton, Maria Victoria – ProQuest LLC, 2022

Yuya Arai; Kotaro Takizawa – Reading in a Foreign Language, 2025
Despite the preponderance of research on extensive reading (ER), the research field still suffers from a lack of common understanding of what ER is and how it should be implemented. From the perspective of Day and Bamford's (2002) seminal ten principles for teaching ER, the present methodological synthesis aimed to systematically review and…

Long overlooked, reading volume is actually central to the development of reading proficiencies, especially in the development of fluent reading proficiency.

Ramrathan, Labby; Mzimela, Jabu – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2016
The skill of reading is regarded as the cornerstone of literacy learning in the foundation phase. Although it is the most complex skill to master, it forms part of literacy teaching.

Gallagher, Kelly – Stenhouse Publishers, 2012
"Read-i-cide" n: The systematic killing of the love of reading, often exacerbated by the inane, mind-numbing practices found in schools. Reading is dying in our schools.

Styles, Morag – Oxford Review of Education, 2010
In the last twenty years, the teaching of reading in Britain has moved away from an interest in how children take delight in, and make meaning of, their literature to a preoccupation with a mechanistic approach to literacy which breaks down texts into bite-sized chunks and fragments reading into a series of isolated skills. Although an expensive,…

Gallagher, Kelly – Educational Leadership, 2010
The "elephant in the room" when we talk about preparing critical thinkers for the 21st century, Gallagher believes, is U.S. students' lack of reading proficiency and their general disinclination to read. Gallagher's provocative argument is that a significant factor behind the decline of reading in young people is a set of practices…
