Challenging educators and students to look at both the importance of secondary reading and the vital differences between secondary level and elementary level reading demands, strategies, competencies, and attitudes, the papers in this monograph indicate the broad range of theoretical issues in secondary reading that must be examined as a prelude to organizing methods courses for secondary teachers. Papers include "What Is Secondary Reading" (Carl B. Smith and Larry Mikulecky); "A Critical Summary of Rumelhart's Interactive Model of Reading" (William Diehl); "Instructional Implications of Rumelhart's Model" (Jerome Harste); "Cognition and Comprehension" (Carl B. Smith); "Questions and Advance Organizers as Adjunct Aids: Implications for Reading Instruction in Secondary Schools" (Richard T. Vacca); "The Relationships of Attitudes, Interests, Motivations, and Habits to the Teaching of Reading" (Larry Mikulecky); "Secondary Reading Programs: Factors that Bring Teachers and Students Together" (James Mills); "A Competency Based Program for Subject Area Teachers" (Charles T. Mangrum); and "In Perspective" (Leo Fay). After most papers in this monograph, summaries of reactions and discussions are provided. (RS)
