Reading is a quest. Likened to an adventure -- both metaphoric and
real -- the quest is a journey of discovery. The reader's search
encompasses the sensations of the experience itself, accompanying
emotions, sense and meaning engendered by the experience, and
understandings of the self, others, and the world around. Out of
curiosity, readers also search for an extensive array of
information. The journey can be envisioned and contemplated again
and again after the reading act itself is completed. In a
meaningful way, the reader's quest and its discoveries are life
enduring and life fulfilling.
The purpose of this volume is two-fold:
* to establish and explore the essential features of reader
response theory and its rendering of the reading process, and
* to acknowledge a philosophy of teaching and to illustrate
teaching strategies to evoke and enhance readers' responses.
Understanding the ways in which the reader affects the reading and
how the reading happens will illuminate classroom pedagogy.
This text establishes and explores the essential features of
reader response theory and its rendering of the reading process.
The essays acknowledge a philosophy of teaching and illustrate a
spectrum of teaching strategies to evoke and enhance readers'
responses, including whole and small-group discussion; story drama;
readers' theatre; journal writing; scripts, letters, stories, and
other writings; and "body punctuation." A case study format is used
to illustrate these strategies in action in real classrooms.
