Question: How engage
students in discussions of the reading process?
Answer/Quote:
“In my reading classes I use the book The
Delights of Reading by Otto L. Bettmann (Grodin 1987). It contains quotes
from famous individuals about how they feel about reading and writing. I have
my students comment about what they believe the quote is saying, if they agree
with it or not and why.” P. 662.
Comment: Another source of Quotes on reading is A
History of Reading by Alberto Manguel, Penguin, 1996. Many books contain
quotes on writing, including Writers at Work: The Paris Review Interviews.
Ed. Malcolm Cowley, 1965 and Good Advice on Writing, Safire and Safir,
1992. RayS.
Title: “Thinking Over
Famous Quotations on Reading.” M Lewis. Journal
of Reading (May 1991), 662.
