Transcript of Teaching Literacy in the 21 st. Century Ian Hauser.
What is ‘a Balanced Approach to Literacy Instruction’?
What is ‘Comprehension’?
How can the two mesh to improve comprehension
instruction for all children?
Drugs
Chlorecyclizine hydrochloride is an antihistamine which is related structurally to cyclizine and meclizine. A combination with hydrocortisone acetate provides anti-inflammatory, antipururitic, and anesthetic properties.
Dire Straits
Ronkonkoma was in dire straits against Quoge. While the snap was consistent, the nose was not. Following a safety to open the quarter, and after a false start, with the resultant 10 meters, Ronkonkoma were again backed up.The tight end slipped the free safety and moved the chains. Slowly, as the downs mounted, the running backs responded.A fifteen meter face mask, with a further 10 for a horse collar saw Ouoge in the red zone.With Ronkonkoma’s strong safety faltering, the Quoge corner goose-stepped through the gaping hole for six.
The Search for Meaning

Cueing Systems• There are three main cueing systems.
• Good readers use all three simultaneously.
• (a) SYNTACTIC CUES – cues from our experience and patterns of language.
For example – It ………………… under the water.The word must be a ………………..
• (b) SEMANTIC INFORMATION – cues about meaning which come from our knowledge of the subject.
For example – Tommy put his pet turtle in the tank.It …………………….. Under the water.
• (c) GRAPHOPHONIC CUES – cues from our knowledge of the conventions of print, the way words look, the relationship between sounds and letters within particular words.
For example – Tommy put his pet turtle in the tank.It d……………….. Under the water.

Responding to Research
• Neuroscience
• The brain seeks to form patterns
• New information either slots into an existing pattern, or is quickly discarded.
• The brain searches for meaning in new information by relating it to other meaningful information and/or experiences.
• Tapping prior knowledge is the key to learning.
Responding to Research
• Research Findings“We do know how to teach most children to read, and we have known it for some time”

1. Phonics – only for students below 3rd. Grade
2. Use of artful texts written in natural language
3. Less emphasis on worksheets – more time spent reading and writing
4. Teachers modeling the reading and writing process
5. Strategic Teaching – such as Reciprocal Teaching, etc.
Balanced LiteracyDifferent Levels of Support
Read Aloud Full Support Reading To
Students
Shared Reading High Level of Reading With
Support Students
Guided Reading Subtle Form of Reading By Students,
Support Needed With Teacher Support
Independent Reading Students assume Reading By Students
Full ResponsibilityRos Hughes - AUSSIE
•Read Aloud is not Round Robin Reading
• A Read Aloud is a demonstration of what a good reader does
• Only the teacher reads
• Guided Reading is practice with help of a specific strategy using a specific text for a specific purpose.
• A ‘group’ is not a life sentence
• Independent Reading is a chance for students to practice and transfer.
• The single most important strategy to improve reading is Independent Reading and lots of it.
