Question: How much time
is spent in reading classes on writing?
Answer: “Little or no
reading class time was spent on writing or writing instruction.” KC Howard.
1987. P. 224.
Comment: I don’t know if this is still true (2011),
but if so, it’s a huge mistake. Reading
to learn activities help with comprehension among other reading skills.
I wonder if this finding involved literature classes? RayS.
Title: “Annotated
Bibliography of Research in the Teaching of English.” JD Marshall and RK Durst.
Research in the Teaching of English (May 1988), 213-227.
