Preface
Reading matters! It is a pervasive feature of quality living, a learned feature of personal and social development that has extended the nature, scope, and effectiveness of day-to-day life from what readers have been able to do as agents in the earliest forms of the communicative arts to their interfaces with twenty-first-century digital literacy. Our purpose in this book is to open up to researchers, teachers, and others associated with effective instruction what has been happening in different parts of the world to help improve reading. In each of the chapters that follow is an account of research-based attempts to better understand and act on the compelling need to advance and improve reading. This work then is a basis for seeing what it is that improving readers do as they improve—what innovations have been involved, what critical issues for promoting students’ engagement
