Research Views: Reconceptualizing Reading in the Information Age.

Mosenthal, Peter B.

Reading Teacher, v41 n6 p582-85 Feb 1988

Notes the limitations of the traditional conceptualization of reading in terms of a conduit metaphor, consisting of three parts: (l) an input, (2) an output, and (3) a model that describes the relationship. Argues the merits of looking at reading in light of the tool metaphor, viewing readers and writers as users of information. (NH)
