Close Reading: From Slot Machine to Poker.
- Authors
Papadomichelaki, Ninetta; Vance, Lash Keith
- Abstract
The article discusses the authors' views on a strategy to take away anxiety in reading instruction by using Close Reading that focus on slot machines and other games of chance. They believe that Close Reading is a transformative force and a new educational theory that can change the way students engage with and think about the world. They explain that reading creates a transaction between the reader and texts, which is a good investment that offers a return, a deal, and a chance to win.
