Abstract:	In a digitized society, writing-based communication is becoming ever more important in learning, professional and every day-life contexts. At the same time, writing itself is increasingly based on quick and easy access to sources and information, which are to be understood, critically selected, combined, and transformed into a reader-oriented text. Thus, writing processes tend to more frequently include reading processes, requiring competent writers to be competent readers. The relevance of literacy skills and the integration of reading and writing is reflected in curriculum reforms that have put greater emphasis on synthesis writing and integrated reading and writing instruction across educational contexts. Concurrently, there is increased interest in writing research on the relationship between reading and writing processes and the effects of integrated reading and writing instruction on text quality. This symposium presents three studies conducted in different educational contexts: 10th-grade students, Vocational Education and Training students, and undergraduate students. The first study presents the effect of feedback on synthesis writing processes and added modeling instruction on text quality and writing and reading behaviors. The second study discusses the effects of contextualized reading-to-write-tasks on students’ text quality. The third study compares the efficacy of guides and rubrics as aids to the process of writing an argumentative text. The last presentation gives an overview of major distinctions in synthesis writing research and the diversity of theoretical orientations and theoretical approaches among the first three studies and beyond, and discusses how diversity and contradiction can contribute to a more complete theoretical understanding.
