This collection offers support for instructors who are concerned about
students’ critical literacy abilities. Attending to critical reading
to help students navigate fake news, as well as other forms of
disinformation and misinformation, is the job of instructors across
all disciplines, but is especially important for college English
instructors because students’ reading problems play out in many and
varied ways in students’ writing. The volume includes chapters that
analyze the current information landscape by examining assorted
approaches to the wide-ranging types of materials available on and
offline and offers strategies for teaching critical reading and
writing in first-year composition and beyond. The chapters herein
bring fresh perspectives on a range of issues, including ways to teach
critical digital reading, ecological models that help students
understand fake news, and the ethical questions that inform teaching
in such a climate. With each chapter offering practical,
research-based advice this collection underscores not just the
importance of attending to reading, particularly in the era of fake
news, but precisely how to do so.
