Reading Octagon
Recently I suggested a simple and tentative conceptual framework about the effectiveness of reading process. I called this framework the “Reading Octagon”, as it has eight components including:
Independent and Continuous Reading
Appropriate and Balanced Reading
Diverse and Recreational Reading
Authentic and Complementary Reading
Parallel and Symmetrical Reading
Coherent and Consistent Reading
Critical and Meticulous Reading
Efficient and Productive Reading
I think a successful reader who is a lifelong learner usually passes these stages in her/his reading process. I know some of these phrases might seem a bit ambiguous or even odd, but I have specific definition for each element. To make them clear, hopefully, I’ll explain each one in the near future. However, I had an interview with LISNA and illustrate each element in more details. To read the interview, please take a look at this link.
