2 thoughts on “Reading Detail”
As a Chinese teacher, reading is an area that gets a lot of discussion in professional meetings. How to help students comprehend characters painlessly is a newly deepened goal for me for next year because I discovered in about April that 3 or 4 of my 6th graders had really avoided any time reading based on characters only and started failing quizzes on characters. (Most of the class did practice connecting characters to meaning and they’ve done fine. A few love characters.) I’d be interested in hearing about reading techniques for languages that don’t use the same alphabet as English. I need more ideas to revolutionize that class next year.
If you’re going to NTPRS, talk to Betsy Paskvan. She has a great method for characters in her Japanese classroom. She gets those kids reading and writing faster in Japanese than I do in Russian.
