  1. READING APPRENTICESHIP (RA) A METACOGNITIVE CONVERSATION

  2. CAPTURING YOUR READING PROCESS • What process did you go through in order to make sense of this text? • What strategies did you use? • What comprehension problems did you solve? • What problems, if any, remain unsolved?

  3. Paulo Freire, Education: The Practice of Freedom (1973) • “Acquiring literacy does not involve memorizing sentences, words or syllables-lifeless objects unconnected to an existential universe- but rather an attitude of creation, a self-transformation producing a stance of intervention in one’s context.” • RESPOND TO THIS QUOTE.

  4. DOES OUR CULTURE DISCOURAGE READING?

  5. NATIONAL STATISTICS • More than 20 percent of adults read at or below a fifth-grade level - far below the level needed to earn a living wage.  (National Institute for Literacy) • 21 million Americans can't read at all, 45 million are marginally illiterate and one-fifth of high school graduates can't read their diplomas. (Department of Justice) • It is estimated that the cost of illiteracy to business and the taxpayer is $20 billion per year.  (United Way, "Illiteracy: A National Crisis”) • Between 1996 and 2008, the average degree of literacy required for all American occupations has risen by nearly 20%. (Barton)

  6. METACOGNITIVE CONVERSATION • Thinking about thinking • Realize what’s going on in minds while reading and able to discuss it • Invisible cognitive activity becomes visible.

  7. TALKING TO THE TEXT(Close Read) • Initially private process • Write thoughts on text while read (Connections, Determining Importance, Repair Comprehension, Questions, Visualizing, Inferring, Synthesizing) • Share reading process with others

  8. DOUBLE ENTRY JOURNAL • One side: Evidence from the text • Second side: Respond to that evidence through predicting, questioning, clarifying, etc.

  9. QAR (QUESTION-ANSWER RELATIONSHIP)

  10. QAR: IN THE BOOK • Right There - The answer can be found in one place in the text. “Right there!" (Fact?) • Think and Search/Pulling It Together - The answer is in the text, but you need to piece together different parts of one or more texts. (Sequencing, Main Idea?)

  11. QAR:IN MY HEAD • Author and Me - The answer is not in the text; asks you to consider the author’s perspective and your own experiences to formulate a response. (Inferencing,Thought?) • On My Own - The answer is not in the text; invites you to make a personal connection to something you have experienced. (Personal Connection?)

  12. THE END
