In interviews I've conducted with students, they have confided that don't have to read the textbook to answer the questions in the chapters or do the tests. For, as they explain, the limited aims of their teachers are easily met by a more or less mechanical procedure. questions are in the same order as the text is written and if you just find the same words and write the whole paragraph around them, you don't have to know what they're talking about and the teacher gives you credit anyway! The result is deceptive. Although students in class may appear to be reading the text and may be writing assignments, frequently they have not actually read anything because they have failed to comprehend what the author has written
