To bridge this gap, and advocating for a more intentional and goal-directed approach to second…

This article contends that if English language arts (ELA) teachers support students' ability to notice and name what influences their reading response, students can then return to texts in ways that allow them to understand the content differently as they are more mindful of how experiences shape meaning making. Slowing down, then, may lead to new…
