Recenzje

"The contributors to this volume are a good mix of university and classroom researchers, and each has an interesting story to tell or observation to make. Karolides' commentary preceding each chapter makes thismore than a collection of good ideas, guiding the novice reader to understand how reader response theory can be realized in classroom practice."
—Lee Glada-Pelligrini
University of Georgia

"Teachers in our college learning communities will like this book....the case studies are so clear; there doesn't seem to be any magic needed to support this instructional strategy. I leave with the feeling that I can actually do this."
—R. Kay Moss
Illinois State University

"Reflects current thinking on reader response theory, especially that of Louise Rosenblatt. Other important theory related to reader response is also addressed, including constructivist viewpoints and social interactionist theory....An excellent addition to our professional knowledge base."
—Mary F. Heller
Kansas State University
