Of course, reading that does not lead to comprehension may not be regarded as reading at all; and the starting quotation implies that not all comprehension leads to recall. Before helping readers to read to remember, we need to help them to read to comprehend since otherwise forgetting will be the immediate outcome. Much has been said and written on how to help readers, particularly in an EFL context, to become more effective readers,...
