Description

This Routledge book challenges conventional histories of reading comprehension by examining how ideological and cultural forces shape education and testing practices. Willis provides a critical analysis of the foundational concepts, theories, and research methods that underpin reading comprehension assessment, contextualising them within broader U.S. social and political history. The work explores how dominant ideologies are reproduced through educational systems, offering readers a comprehensive reconstruction of reading comprehension's historical evolution. By connecting theoretical frameworks to real-world educational outcomes, this book reveals the complex interplay between race, class, and power in literacy education and standardised testing. Essential for educators, researchers, and scholars interested in understanding the ideological dimensions of language study, literacy development, and educational inequality.
