Abstract

Recent research on reading in cognitive science disproves the Common Core’s central claim that reading skills are learned most effectively when students exclude their knowledge and experience from the reading process. The discussion here is focused on how this scientific research overlaps with the transaction theory of reading and writing, and the present opportunities for renewing it.
