Reading Communities in the Dickens Classroom

Susan Cook ; Elizabeth Henley

Abstract

This study exposed a major author studies class to both a reading community modeled after those popular in Charles Dickens’s own time and a digital reading community. Students gravitated toward the more traditional oral reading community over the digital project, indicating an unexpected interest in older forms of communication.
