Reading As Situated Social Practice: What Counts As a Proper Reading in an Adult Numeracy Classroom?
Baynham, Mike
Prospect, v10 n2 p18-26 Jul 1994
Explores what an emphasis on reading as social practice can tell us about the nature of reading. The article maintains that what counts as a "proper" reading of the text is highly constrained by the classroom context and that classrooms should be discourse sites where specific ways of reading are required and particular regimes of reading are in play.
