Method Mania: Activities to Teach Written Expression Skills & Strategies

Method Mania: Activities to Teach Written Expression Skills & Strategies

Success in school, in work, and in life can be greatly enhanced by the ability to write effectively. And due to the writing process revolution we are gradually improving the quality of writing. The writing process focuses on exploring metacognitively what writers actually do throughout a writing task; how real writers go about constructing texts. Teachers work closely with students, helping them to understand writing as a communication and learning process. The importance of the creation, expression, and comprehension of meaning is emphasized throughout the process.

Method Mania: Activities to Teach Comprehension Skills and Strategies

Method Mania: Activities to Teach Comprehension Skills and Strategies

Although educators often disagree about many aspects of literacy, there appears to be universal agreement that the primary purpose for reading is to comprehend text. Yet defining comprehension has not been easy. Synonyms for comprehension instruction include critical thinking, understanding, making meaning, reasoning, and higher level thinking skills. To complicate matters, we're asked to assess an entity in which there is no agreed-upon definition. Forced to focus on comprehension separately in order to explain and discuss it, teachers have long used superficial methods to monitor students' learning. My purpose for writing this book is not to engage in the battle over defining comprehension, nor to detail best practices for assessing learning. It is my goal to help students develop a sense of conscious control over the reading process using a set of strategies that they can adapt when reading any text.

Spelling P.A.C.T.: Parents and Children Together

Spelling P.A.C.T.: Parents and Children Together

We know more about the teaching of spelling than we ever have, and we know it is not helpful for students to write a list of words several times over. It actually becomes a rote activity, perceived as busy work, and will not help any child remember to spell those particular words in the long term. That is why educators across the country, myself included, have embraced spelling instruction that reflects the interplay of sound, pattern, sight, and meaning relationships.
