When you read graphic symbols and words and make the meaningful statements, this can be considered as literacy in reading. If a person is not fluent in reading have a slow pace in reading, we cannot say that that person is illiterate. Also, this can be related to comprehension that I reliazed that comprehension would be enough for literacy in reading and fluency can occur im upper ages. Phonological awareness should be automatized in upper ages and one child can comprehend words and sentences but still is literate.]]> 2018-01-23 18:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/223951735 https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/223983796 In the disciplinary literacy article, much of what content area literacy was and entailed seemed to be assumed...I had to look up what exactly was meant by it in order to grasp fully the differences between disciplinary and content area literacy.]]> 2018-01-23 19:47:12 UTC https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/223983796 https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/223984971 I knew that language learning happens as a social process, but guess I didn't really connect that reading would function in the same way, that it's a larger scale social dialogue as opposed to a small conversation; one needs to be taught strategies for joining these varied dialogues.]]> 2018-01-23 19:49:16 UTC https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/223984971 https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/224022321 I was really surprised by the discussion of school textbooks.

It is very unfortunate that this situation is not going to change any time soon even though the problem is obvious.]]> 2018-01-23 21:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/224022802 https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/224023157 I was very impressed by the discussion of prosody. I knew intuitively that prosody showed good reading skills, but the discussion about prosody and comprehension strengthening each other really made that concept clear.]]> 2018-01-23 21:22:16 UTC https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/224023157 https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/224023852 Each content area requires very different approaches. I knew this, wasn't aware that there were such vast differences, or that educators were resistant to teaching literacy lessons within their content areas.]]> 2018-01-23 21:25:06 UTC https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/224023852 https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/224031392 I was surprised at the amount of research that shows that textbooks in school are ineffective and poorly written. What makes schools choose certain textbooks? How do schools remain accountable to stakeholders (ie., taxpayers) when they are using materials that are mediocre?]]> 2018-01-23 21:54:52 UTC https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/224031392 https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/224032635 The differences between content area literacy and disciplinary literacy were discussed in the article, but the similarities between content area literacy and disciplinary literacy were not discussed. There was not much information presented in the article about content area literacy.]]> 2018-01-23 22:00:07 UTC https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/224032635 https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/224033269 The Moje & Ellison (2016) article mentioned that learning occurs in settings other than school. This reaffirms the importance of parental involvement when it comes to student learning.]]> 2018-01-23 22:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/224033269 https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/224050008 I struggle with knowing that outside supports help student learning because the reality is that there are far too many students without supports.

On the other hand, I like the discussion about bridging culture (from home) into learning literacy. This is so important in schools today, and I feel like too often this is not taken into consideration when teaching children.

The disconnect between what is needed based on research and what is produced and sold to schools is troubling.]]> 2018-01-24 00:04:15 UTC https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/224050658 https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/224055534 2018-01-24 00:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/etesta/d884g1hjrbbi/wish/224055534
