The Critical Place of Reading in Writing Transfer (and Beyond)

Abstract

This article details findings from a research study on learning transfer, in which most students reported transferring reading processes and explicitly linked their successes in writing to their successes in reading. Reading offered a pathway through their university learning experiences, improving self-efficacy and engagement.
