Abstract
Two theoretical perspectives are woven together to frame an approach to classroom reading instruction. Viewing reading instruction from a literary perspective and a psychological perspective has the potential to help students understand the distinctions between different text types and the various purposes for reading information, enjoyment, and emotional engagement. The report includes a description of classroom reading instruction and ways the theories relate to observed practices.
