Dimensions of reading
The current project is framed within broad theories of reading. Central to these are differing views about the nature of textual meanings and the relationships that exist between these meanings and the reader of a text. The more traditional view – the „transmission model‟ – sees texts embodying relatively stable, objective meanings, ones that a proficient reader is able to locate and reproduce. Carroll (1964), for example, characterises reading as “the activity of reconstructing the messages that reside in printed text”. This conception of reading as the finding of pre-existent meanings is arguably the predominant construct in many reading comprehension tests, especially those that rely heavily on multiple choice formats (Hill & Parry, 1992; Alderson, 2000).
