Although many people consider reading to be a passive activity, research supports that it’s an active activity that involves complex cognitive processes.
In over two decades of teaching, I’ve heard many students say, “I’m not a good reader.” While secondary educators often don’t see themselves as reading teachers, I see our role in the classroom as one whereby we can teach students strategies that strengthen their reading skills and improve their learning outcomes. By teaching active reading and having students map out their reading, educators can engage students with reading so that they are not only learning to read but reading to learn.
