2003-03-21 A Response-Based Approach to Reading Literature
|
|
The thought-provoking literature class is an environment where students are encouraged to negotiate their own meanings by exploring possibilities, consider understandings from multiple perspectives, sharpen their own interpretations, and learn about features of literary style and analysis through the insights of their own responses. Responses are based as much on readers' own personal and cultural experiences as on the particular text and its author.

2001-10-23 Text Matters in Learning to Read
|
|
If you are a North American of a 'certain age' you will recall Dick and Jane books. These oft-mocked 'primers' were not particularly engaging, but they were meticulously composed to let a beginning reader get practice with the most common sound-letter combinations. Today, there exist many children's books that teach reading by repeating the most common letter-sound combinations; others that teach reading by employing 'high frequency" words and others that teach reading by emphasizing word and context. Many people believe that the delightful Suess books teach reading by repeating letter-sound combinations(phonics) but no so, says a researcher from the University of Michigan. Green Eggs and Ham, at least, teaches reading by using high frequency words. If you want to appreciate Dr.Suess's unique genius, consult the following list of the 99 most frequent words in print in the English language.
