Lectura și formarea competenței lectorale

This book asks how students gain and use reading skills. It asks how teachers can test these skills. It looks at school texts, both literary and nonliterary. Ioan Neacsu and Antonia Damian link reading to learning and culture. They also look at reading as a use of free time. They draw on theory, research, and how teachers teach. They write for teachers and others who care about teaching reading.

How does reading grow once children know the alphabet? The authors ask what role it plays at each school level. They look at the role of each type of text. They ask how ways of reading have changed, and why. They explore why people lose interest in books from childhood onward. Why might children and adults read less literature, including poetry?

They also study feelings, reasons for reading, and imagination. How do a reader’s mood and setting shape reading? How can parents, teachers, and peers help children explore texts? The book also makes room for what children find on their own.

Phones, television, the internet, and digital games all vie for attention. The authors ask how these take time from reading. They ask about school libraries and online access. They also ask about gaps in access to devices. They call for research on readers’ views, habits, and actions. They seek useful ways to teach that need little money or time. These should not place great demands on mental effort.
