Discussing Citations of Johnson
In Debra Johnson's article, Balanced Reading Instruction: A Review of the Literature, Johnson includes quite a bit of citation to support her case of reading instruction and its importance. Johnson cites eight sources to cover her subject thoroughly, and when she cites, includes various aspects of the cited source to show it is credible. This includes showing the title of the article or book entry, where it originated from (book, journal, or magazine), its date, and its author. To integrate the citations properly into her text and provide an accurate flow of her words and the provided information, Johnson uses various techniques such as quoting directly from the citation to support a point she is making and referring back to a citation's ideas by putting it in parenthesis beside her own summary of the idea (i.e., Johnson 1998).
Johnson's article is supported well by outside information because of her amount of sources, their credibility, and the accuracy and ease with which she interweaves them with her own material.
