Reading Process

Annotated Research

Question: How do successful graduate students read?

Answer: “Successful graduate student readers spend about 69% of reading time off the page, making connections, recasting what they had read in light of prior knowledge, critiquing themselves or extrapolating.” JC Harste. 19896. P. 222.

Comment: Someone once said that a good reader moves from  80% of the time reading the page to 20% of the time reading the page. I think that is true. RayS.
