Redefining Reading Comprehension.
Tierney, Robert J.
Educational Leadership, v47 n6 p37-42 Mar 1990
Overly text-based accounts of reading comprehension have been displaced by multifaceted considerations of meaning-making subjectivity and shared understandings held by communities of readers. Reading may be viewed as a meaning construction process, as writing, as engagement, and as a situation-based activity. Includes 26 references. (MLH)
