Teaching

"Teachers who make text reading assignments and then go over in class exactly what is in the text not only make class boring but also encourage students to neglect to read their assignments. This type of teacher is not encouraging the development of independent readers who can take their place as useful citizens and lifelong learners in our society. A teacher who focuses only on content ignores the process needed by students to comprehend the content in immediate and future reading situations."
