Abstract

Before the 1980s, reading and writing was separated in most American schools. However, the 1980s were a watershed decade for research on reading-writing connections. Today, there has been a broad and diverse body of research focused on reading-writing integration. The fundamental idea of these studies is that if the connections exist, students may be spurred by being taught reading and writing together. Therefore, this article acts as an introduction of Sociocognitive Perspective of reading-writing connections, and aims to throw some light on the reading-writing connection teaching in China.
