- Reflections on Framing Literacy 20,
I do have a problem with the Cloze exercise in the Framing Literacy text,
I see how it could be used to increase comprehension, however personally
I would
use it more as an opportunity to assess my students than strictly for instructional
purposes. Maybe that doesn’t make sense. Maybe what I mean is that there
are few things that I value more than free voluntary reading. I need to find
a balance between the instructional options and my class time. I also need
to find ways to increase my consistency when it comes to instructional tools.
The authors of Mosaic of Thought stress the importance of hitting the same
objectives or better termed STRATEGIES over a period of four weeks to a month.
I need to be able to rotate my instructional tools to keep things fresh while
at the same time maintain my focus on modeling successful strategies.
So I would in the end, use a Cloze exercise in my classroom for the purpose
of reinforcing predicting. I might also see its use in a small group format.
