'Perpetuating students' dependence on teachers denies them opportunities and successes - they can gain only through the extensive, independent reading of texts."

2024-08-21 22:47:28 UTC

Simply put, there is no quick fix for a student's lack of meaningful reading experiences. Page 8; 1st line of paragraph 2

2024-08-21 22:47:39 UTC

Teachers often try to find alternative ways to help students "get the content" often in the name of equity; this in turn, encourages students to avoid a reading task entirely

Pg 4

"If students are to keep their future options open, they must develop the confidence and the will to approach- and the ability to make sense of- a range of text, including the many gatekeeper text that will not be inherently fascinating or well composed," (p.10).

cmoffitlocke — 2024-08-21 22:48:35 UTC

"In fact, we strongly encourage teachers to supplement textbooks with varied-and engaging-text, to build text sets that expand students' opportunities to read about and understand important content, and to include culturally diverse, multimodal, and digital sources in their collections of such texts." (page 10)

2024-08-21 22:49:49 UTC

"The most affective approaches to building fluency, for example, rely on abundant and repeated reading of actual text." (pg. 8).

acarino5 — 2024-09-04 22:49:54 UTC

(Reading) is a complex process of problem solving in which the reader works to make sense of the text, not just from the words, sentences, graphics, or images presented but also from the ideas, memories, and knowledge they evoke.

2024-09-04 22:50:16 UTC

To begin developing the social dimension of the classroom, teachers work with students to create a sense that they are part of a safe community of readers.

2024-09-04 22:50:21 UTC

As we move from one social situation to another, we learn varied ways of reading and distinct literacy practices linked to specific valued activities and cultural traditions. (Chapter 2, page 22)

2024-09-04 22:50:42 UTC

Teachers can assist students with activities that focus on texts' underlying structures, such as, identifying the ways particular texts are structured.

maguayo13 — 2024-09-04 22:51:09 UTC

Developing Metacognition.

Students find becoming conscious of their mental processes to be unfamiliar, yet often intriguing (Followed by a list of activities that help students think about their thinking.) (Pg. 34)

MY GOLDEN LINE

page 24- Social Support for Learning

...that is to say, people learn by participating in activities with "more competent" others who provide support for the parts of the task that they cannot yet do by themselves.

2024-09-04 22:52:49 UTC

How one engages with text, the type of texts read and in what modality or format, the outcomes expected- are shaped by social and cultural purposes.

2024-09-04 22:53:05 UTC

Teachers can build reader confidence and range by exposing students to a variety of texts and draw attention to what they comprehend.

2024-09-04 22:53:15 UTC

On pg 26 it introduces you to the four dimension of developing a reader. My favorite is the social dimension, " Building community in the classroom, including recognizing the resouces brought by each member

2024-09-04 22:53:24 UTC

Page 34 looks at developing readers' stamina and fluency and focuses on the idea that children's interest in reading is overpowered by other daily things such as technology. As teachers we can chunk and cluster students work to help build stamina.

Page 61 paragraph 2 in Building Relationships and Norms for Classroom Collaboration.

"In middle school, many teachers try to make sure students know each other. In high school, it's far from universal for students to even know the names of everyone in their classes. By the time students are in college, building classroom relationships is often a very low priority."

maguayo13 — 2024-10-02 22:30:11 UTC

Students come to believe that knowledge is acquired whole: you either have it or you don't. Teachers have the important job of turning around this intellectually crippling misconception, so students understand that confusion is the perfect and natural starting place for learning. (PG. 71)

2024-10-02 22:30:25 UTC

"Students carry with them into the classroom a wealth of proficiencies and dispositions that can be drawn on to support their reading development. They live in complexly structured social worlds that they 'read' with considerable skill." (Pg. 87)

jdavis580 — 2024-10-02 22:30:55 UTC

Inviting students to participate in inquiry around literacy entails, in part, making time in the classroom to acknowledge and discus the complex ways that different kinds of literacy affect our lives. page 73

2024-10-02 22:31:34 UTC

If students are to collaborate in reading and understanding text, educators making time to build classroom relationships and develop norms for interaction is crucial. (page 61, paragraph 3)

2024-10-02 22:31:41 UTC

2024-10-02 22:32:03 UTC

Providing students opportunities learn from each other by sharing what they understand from a reading to their peer(s)

2024-10-02 22:32:20 UTC

"To gain students' trust and active participation it would be necessary to create the sense that students and teacher formed a community of readers, committed to a collaborative inquiry aimed at understanding and improving their reading. This meant making sure students felt that their classmates, as well as their teacher, valued their participation. To buy this community effort, students first had to feel safe." Page 61, paragraph 2

2024-10-02 22:32:24 UTC

Teachers should promote student-to-student academic conversation to improve comprehension and collaboration. Sentence frames should be provided to encourage meaningful dialogue.

2024-10-02 22:32:25 UTC

For teachers, knowing students' interests and goals helps in several ways, including in forging connections to the curriculum and to reading, in drawing students' interests and experiences into classroom conversations...

adetorres3 — 2024-10-02 22:33:04 UTC

To gain students' trust and active participation it would be necessary to create a sense that students and teacher form a community of readers. To buy into this community effort, students need to feel safe.

2024-11-06 22:28:27 UTC

"A surprisingly large number of students have never realized that reading is not the same as tracking and saying the words on a page. Comments such as the following reveal just how common it is for students to be unaware that text is supposed to have meaning. They relate 'reading' with their experience of learning to read in the primary grades--decoding."

2024-11-06 22:30:31 UTC

Pg 97 "Teacher often follow up students' in a Think Aloud experience that does not involve reading at all, one that allows students to focus almost entirely on metacognition" 2 paragraph

2024-11-06 22:31:23 UTC

In the "Thinking about Thinking" section of Ch. 4 on pages 97-98, it states, "Students should understand that they will be making their thinking visible to themselves and others by monitoring and repairing their reading comprehension and by means of internal and external conversation and writing."

"Fluency, stamina, and habit of reading are powerfully boosted through ongoing and extensive opportunities to read."

jdavis580 — 2025-01-22 22:55:34 UTC

Work to comprehend academic texts with the collaboration of peers, with opportunities to write and talk, and with teacher support for modeling and metacognitive conversation helps students build text-based problem-solving skills and dispositions for engaged subject area learning

2025-01-22 22:55:43 UTC

Engaging students in extensive reading as a community of readers fosters engagement and creates an atmosphere of mutual accountability.

kpreston20 — 2025-01-22 22:56:05 UTC

p 168--Routine use of small text sets helps build students' schema improving their access to the core texts. I appreciate the fact that we do not need to have large cultivated text sets to help develop student understanding.

2025-01-22 22:56:36 UTC

When classrooms are places where teachers do things for students, teachers are doing all the intellectual work. When classrooms become places where teachers do things with the students, the culture of the classroom shifts and students have a purpose for investing in their learning.

- page 207

jbaker92 — 2025-04-02 22:45:52 UTC

"Teaching students to ask questions as they read places the meaning-making process directly in their hands. When students ask their own content-based questions...they ask questions that deepen their engagement or they ask questions that deepen their understanding."

adetorres3 — 2025-04-02 22:45:54 UTC

"Understanding text is similar to eating pizza. Though you may want to read a large amount at once, you may not be able to understand it unless you take in bits and pieces."---Just like in reading, some students can't understand everything so it's better to chunk the texts.
