Addressing the lack of attention given to reading in the teaching of writing and noting the complex relationship readers have with texts, this volume contains 18 essays on the significance of the connection between reading and writing and how to nurture lifelong readers across all grade levels and institutions in US high schools and colleges. They describe the challenges of integrating reading into the writing classroom, reading as a complex social, cognitive, and affective activity, and the effects of new technology on reading and writing; the perspectives of college students about their development as writers; and approaches to teaching deep reading in writing courses. Contributors are high school teachers, college students, and composition scholars in the US. Annotation 2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
