  • Reflections on Framing Literacy 18,

    It appears to me that the Language Experience Approach, as described in chapter 9 in the Framing Literacy Text, is most useful to learners still developing their print concepts.

    As I said earlier it is often difficult to read with an open mind once the notion creeps into one’s mind that the theory or concept doesn’t directly pertain to one’s situation. I read about LEA and think, “wait a minute, my kids mostly know how to read, they understand the concepts and conventions of print. This pertains to first and second grade teachers, not me and my third grade class.”

    I need to guard against being so pejorative, when I rethink my students and classroom situation I realize the various opportunities and levels at which LEA might function.

    Justin
