ACTIVE VIEW OF READING
The Active View of Reading is a model recently developed by Nell Duke and others that builds on two pivotal theoretical models: The Simple View and The Reading Rope. Advances in reading research, as shown here in the Active View of Reading, show that there are important bridging processes between the development of language comprehension and word recognition. For example, a strong vocabulary improves the ability to pronounce unfamiliar words as they are being decoded. Similarly, knowledge of another language may influence the way word recognition develops in English.
The Active View also acknowledges the crucial role of culturally responsive instruction in learning to read and the role of active self-regulation in the reading process. Crucial to the reading process is whether children develop as “active readers;” readers who feel empowered, motivated, engaged, and able to self-regulate as they move through what Zaretta Hammond and others refer to as the “Learning Pit.” Skilled readers not only have strong word recognition and language comprehension skills, they actively self-monitor in order to apply skills and strategies while they read and while they actively process information.
