For the same reasons, however, newspapers can be difficult for teachers to use effectively. This presentation introduces a curriculum for using the Asahi Weekly in the university classroom. The audience will have the opportunity to experience several activities that promote reading and critical thinking skills. A discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of using newspapers in the classroom will follow.

ESL Companion Secondary: Stage SL: Reading View Learning Outcomes Learning Outcomes and Indicators Curriculum Focus Communication Aspects of language Contextual understanding By working with simple texts, such as jointly constructed class texts about a shared experience or books with repetitive structures, teachers help students associate common text types with their associated purpose and audience. Through reading, browsing through or listening to accessible texts read aloud, students are guided to talk simply about who the texts are written for and what they are written about, for example the difference between a simple fictional story and a jointly constructed recount of a recent experience. By working with, and talking about the written messages they see around them, students are made aware of environmental texts and the messages they convey, and teachers use these texts for beginning reading activities. They also guide students through activities which help them extract information presented in a variety of formats, such as timetables, charts or diagrams. Linguistic structures and features Through structured reading activities and by focusing on familiar meaningful words that are part of students’ repertoires, teachers help students to develop skills to read new words. They provide practice identifying initial or final sounds of familiar words, identifying words through their shape and comparing simple unpunctuated texts with the corresponding punctuated texts. Activities such as alphabet games, phonemic awareness activities, or word and sentence matching, focus students onto the word and letter level of texts, and help them to begin to understand the sound–letter relationships of English. As students begin to recognise phrases/formulas, single words or letters in texts, teachers help them to focus on these by recording them on word lists, sound charts and personal dictionaries. These are used for reference when reading and writing.

Text only Print Add to favourites Suggest similar pages creative reading Introduction by Debbie Hicks, The Reading Agency The emphasis on reading as a creative activity has been relatively recent in the UK. Its profile has risen largely as the result of pioneering work in public libraries and a shift in public funding to include readers and reading as well as writers and writing. In a short space of time, creative reading, or reader development as it is commonly known, has become firmly established on the cultural agenda. Libraries have helped to redefine reading as a highly creative act, a journey of personal discovery that involves the reader in an intimate relationship with the text that brings to it meaning and life. This relationship is private but it can also be shared through book groups or more informal 'book talk.' Read the rest of the introduction to Creative Reading Literature What we do Activities ...

Integrating Use of Cueing Systems into Daily Reading Activities Objectives Students will develop emerging abilities to: use combined knowledge of context, syntax clues, sight words, word structures, and graphophonics to draw meaning from print employ a variety of problem-solving strategies when confronted with an unfamiliar word. Cueing systems are sets of cues or clues built into the structures and patterns of the English language. They are called systems because the English language is systematic in the ways that words are ordered to create meaning, letters and sounds are related, punctuation is used, and in the ways that the English language is used to communicate. When children are taught to recognize and use these relatively predictable language patterns within texts, they have the means to become independent readers and writers. In addition to the main cueing systems, children can be taught other problem-solving strategies such as the use of picture clues. Together these cueing systems and problem-solving strategies offer learners the means to "figure things out for themselves". The foundations for use of all cueing systems and other problem-solving strategies are laid in the Emerging Phase. The cueing systems and other problem-solving strategies are described in the two charts that follow. Examples are included with each description to illustrate how a child might make use of each cueing system or other problem-solving strategy. Knowledge of Cueing Systems Syntactic Knowledge

West Chicago Community High School An Approach to Reading Instruction Goals for Reading Motivating Students to Read Promoting Active Reading Fostering Critical Reading ... Creating an Environment for Literacy Goals for Reading The teaching of reading is an enormously complicated endeavor. The following summary cannot begin to account for the complexity of effective reading instruction. However, the descriptions below report practices and beliefs that the English teachers at Community High School have identified during a series of discussions. The descriptions follow under four categories: Motivating Students to Read; Promoting Active Reading; Fostering Critical Reading; and Creating an Environment for Literacy. Motivating Students to Read: Many students do not like reading and have little motivation to read for pleasure or for class assignments. There are students who have great difficulty processing printed material and recalling anything of what they read. These students resist reading and find instruction in reading a painful experience. Regarding the motivation of students to read, teachers commonly take these approaches: honoring students for completing independent reading, finding literature that appeals to adolescents, entertaining students' genuine responses to literature, providing class time to begin or complete reading assignments. Promoting Active Reading: There are several procedures that teachers encourage students to follow as they read: surveying, questioning, note taking, writing. Reading means something more than the passive recognition of words on a page. Skillful readers work at understanding and evaluating the substance of a reading selection. There are many things teachers do to help students to become active readers.

Home Reading Instruction and Literacy in English Language Learners and Other At-Risk Children An Interview with Assistant Professor Nonie Lesaux Harvard Graduate School of Education December 1, 2003 Send this page to a friend Subscribe to e-Updates Q : Can you advise teachers who want to build a strong reading program for English Language Learners? What are the steps they should take? A : Designing a strong reading program for this diverse group of learners requires an understanding of the characteristics of ELL children. While there is no preeminent reading program for English Language Learners, the best programs are usually designed to serve the needs of a particular group of ELLs and recognize the strong relationship between language development and literacy skills. It becomes of paramount importance, especially with older learners, to consider cultural orientation in literacy education when there is a dominant group of English Language Learners in the classroom. The students' cultural knowledge and their interpretation of 'literacy' that comes from parents and family become important factors to consider. Embedding cultural knowledge into instruction can help to make it more relevant and meaningful for students. Furthermore, establishing home-school communication and involving parents has proved effective in promoting literacy for this group of learners, although this happens less frequently than one might expect.
