  • Responses to Reflections on Framing Literacy 4,

    Dear Smita, After reading the chapters I think I am going to change my techniques of teaching reading a lot. It is definitely going to be a reading/ writing workshop. I shall encourage my students to write stories from wordless picture books even though they may not be able to write a whole sentence correctly! Also we are going to have a word wall with the most interesting words that my students can find and I will encourage them to say and write those words in their stories. Reflection is very important and so is using literacy outside the
    classroom. So we need to help students read and write with the purpose that they may be able to communicate with the rest of the world! What
    do you think of this? I just wanted to share with you some of my thoughts. Bye! See you in class tomorrow. Sue

    Sue, It is wonderful that you have made the commitment to change the way you and your class will approach literacy. Teaching is really like having your own business. With the shareholders being students, parents, and the state. Giving learners the time to read and negotiate meaning means that they will begin to absorb the conventions of grammar, spelling, and storytelling on their own. Making the direct instruction mini-lessons that much more productive. Justin
