Hi Nice work pulling in the readings to illustrate your responses. I especially like what you said about reading is comprehension and learning is comprehension. Excellent connection. What are the processes of reading that we can integrate into our teaching to help facilitate reading/comprehension/learning? Also, as we continue to study reading, let's keep thinking about what teachers do that might inhibit the comprehension process. Jill
When reading out loud, I frequently pause and ask for text to text, self or world connections. I model pretty much every time what a "strong" connection might look like, vs a "week" connection. I also create activities that integrate story boarding as part of the comprehension piece. We are working right now with identifying Beginning, Middle and end of the Stories (fiction or no fiction) read from a book or orally transmitted story. We are working to identify characters and settings. I ask of students to read the pictures in the books and make predictions, and then we check for the accuracy of their predictions. I am learning how to enjoy reading (books) and the process of writing with them, through their amazement and enthusiasm, have to confess.
Yay Natacha!!! You're ahead of me. Just for a few minutes though ;)
