Alvermann and Sonenberg

“[C]oncepts such as multiliteracies, multimodal texts, and disciplinary-based reading instruction are changing our notion of what counts as reading and the teaching of reading. Though not paradigm shifts in the fullest sense, these changes are indicative of a time when anomalies, or misfits, within the existing paradigm create conditions for a potential, full-blown paradigm shift (Kuhn, 1970, 1996).”
