Editorial Reviews

"Reading to Write addresses one of the most pressing issues in current writing research—the relationship between cognitive processes and their contexts. This volume offers a rich examination of these two perspectives, framed by an excellent argument for the interplay between them. Writing researchers and instructors at all levels will welcome this volume."—Janice Lauer, Purdue University
