CLASSROOM APPLICATION - Automatic Information Processing Model

awheel11 — 2024-06-19 16:07:25 UTC

By understanding that fluent readers can decode without attention to decoding and the three components (sensory memory, short-term memory, and long term memory), teachers should understand the importance of systematic phonics instruction. For example, a program like Orton-Gillingham would utilize LaBerge and Samuel's Automatic Information Processing Model.

CLASSROOM APPLICATION - SCARBOROUGH'S READING ROPE

awheel11 — 2024-06-19 22:20:17 UTC

Scarborough's Reading Rope is made up of lower and upper strands. The thought process of this model is if students learn the lower strand (word recognition) and the upper strand (language comprehension), students will be fluent in word recognition and comprehension. By understanding this model, teachers should be utilizing programs such as Heggerty, Orton-Gillingham (OG), and HMH Into Reading. Heggerty would cover phonological awareness, OG would cover decoding and sight recognition, and HMH Into Reading would cover language comprehension.

CLASSROOM APPLICATION: THE SIMPLE VIEW OF READING (SVR)

awheel11 — 2024-06-19 22:59:09 UTC

The Simple View of Reading (SVR) is a model that believes reading needs to be broken down into two processes: word recognition and language comprehension. Scarborough's Reading Rope complements SVR by breaking down the formula (word recognition and language comprehension) into specific items needed. Like Scarborough's Reading Rope, teachers should be utilizing programs such as Heggerty, Orton-Gillingham (OG), and HMH Into Reading. Heggerty would cover phonological awareness, OG would cover decoding and sight recognition, and HMH Into Reading would cover language comprehension.

CLASSROOM APPLICATION- Whole Language Theory

sellis11_3 — 2024-06-27 14:08:50 UTC

Whole language theory is built on the idea that language is an intertwined system of making meaning and that children will learn to read if they are immersed in literature and involved in meaningful literacy experiences. By understanding WLT, teachers would have classroom libraries that are engaging and have books covering multiple genres and topics for students to choose from. Shared reading is an essential part of a WLT classroom as well as authentic opportunities for independent reading and writing.

CLASSROOM APPLICATION- Schema Theory

sellis11_3 — 2024-06-27 15:04:02 UTC

This theory is based on the understanding that everything a student knows is organized into schemas and that all new knowledge is integrated into preexisting schemas. A characteristic of Schema Theory is that all schemata are individualized for each person. Teachers need to be cognizant of their students’ individual schemata when introducing new content and intentionally tap into and build their knowledge.

CLASSROOM APPLICATION- Metacognitive Theory

sellis11_3 — 2024-06-27 15:54:35 UTC

Metacognitive Theory focuses on the reader’s thinking during reading and the processes occurring with the reader as they read. The goal of the Metacognitive Theory is comprehension, which is achieved through the reader's awareness of their thinking during reading. Teachers utilizing the Metacognitive Theory in class teach students strategies to monitor their comprehension during reading.
