Reference
	Calfee, Robert, and Priscilla Drum. 1986. "Research on teaching reading." 3rd edition. In Wittrock 1986.

Summary
	Focuses on reading instruction. Has the following threefold purpose:
	To explain the meaning of research on teaching reading, and to define reading and teaching To present a framework for organizing research literature To offer an account of that literature, highlighting samples from the past decade of research on various topics
	Has the following goals:
	To guide informed professionals and apprentices in the social and political context of contemporary reading research (page 804) To lay a solid foundation in the curriculum of literacy To examine trends in the content and methods of research on reading (page 843)
	Extension of reading research to hard problems (comprehension) in difficult settings (classroom) indicates a "maturing of theory and method" as well as "promising direction in educational research." Psychologists and other specialists (linguists and anthropologists) play a major role, leading to a more coherent foundation, in reading and reading instruction.
