  2. Reflection Reflection on homework tasks from last workshop Workshop 4 Session 1 Slide 2

  3. Some understandings about reading • In reading, the goal is always comprehension of meaning. • Reading is an active process using our: • knowledge of the world (non-visual information) • knowledge of language (visual information) to construct meaning. • The key to reading is prediction • We use our knowledge of the world and of language to predict what will come next. We test our predictions by reading some of the text and then checking if what we are reading makes sense. If it makes sense we continue reading, if not we go back and revise our predictions Workshop 4 Session 2 Slide 3

  4. Some understandings about reading cont. • We read different things in different ways. The reading strategies we use depend on what we are reading and our purpose for reading it. • The more knowledge and experience we have on which to base our predictions, the less we need to rely on print. • If this is our understanding of the reading process then developing reading skills is a continuing process that needs to be developed in context. Taken from: S Hood and N Solomon, Focus on Reading: A handbook for teachers National Curriculum Resource Centre, Adelaide, 1985 In ESL in The Mainstream Teacher Development Course, 1993 Workshop 4 Session 2 Slide 4

  5. Assisting ESL Students with theReading-Cueing Systems ‘Lambra Goots’ Fran Murray 1996 Workshop 4 Session 2 Slide 5

  6. Introduction This activity highlights the semantic and syntactic knowledge which we bring to reading that enables us to make sense of the printed word. For EAL/D learners critical factors in the reading process are: • the extent to which the experience of the reader and writer match i.e. knowledge of the world, topic, text and life experiences (Semantics) • the knowledge of the word order and language patterns that determine how words fit together to convey meaning (Syntax) Workshop 4 Session 2 Slide 6

  7. GRAPHO-PHONIC KNOWLEDGE Knowledge that sounds are represented by letters & clusters of letters SYNTACTIC KNOWLEDGE Knowledge about the system of language e.g. word order, nouns, pronouns, tense, SEMANTIC KNOWLEDGE Knowledge of topic (field), cultural understandings & links to life experiences The 3 cueing systems • .

Prior knowledge of a vet and what he/she does. • Syntax May predict that ‘sa’ and ‘fal’ may be ‘a’ and ‘the’ because of our understanding of word order and articles.Knowledge of reference - may predict that ‘leg’ refers back to the dog Workshop 4 Session 2 Slide 22

  23. Lambra took -4 Lambra took fal dog rew fal vet. Oto namdo hit quock sa car wuta had sa flubbed leg. Workshop 4 Session 2 Slide 23

  29. Lambra took - 5 Peter took the dog rewfal vet. He was hit quock a car wuta had a broken leg. Please give others thinking time. If you have guessed, write your prediction in your workbook. Workshop 4 Session 2 Slide 29

  30. Reflection 6: Peter took the dog rewfal vet. He was hit quock a car wuta had a broken leg. • What do you think the text is about now? • What helped you predict? • What strategies did you use? Why? • What cueing system/s did you use Workshop 4 Session 2 Slide 30

  31. Comment slide 6 Peter took the dog rewfal vet. He was hit quock a car wuta had a broken leg. • Possible response: Peter took the dog to the vet. He was hit by a car which resulted in a broken leg • Semantic and Syntactic knowledge: • Note: At this point first language learners of English will have the semantic understanding of the text, even if they haven’t guessed every word. However, for EAL/D learners this may well not be the case. • What helped L1 to predict? • Knowledge of a variety of prepositions and how they work in English Workshop 4 Session 2 Slide 31

  32. At Last Peter took the dog to the vet. He was hit by a car and had a broken leg. Workshop 4 Session 2 Slide 32

  33. The challenge for EAL/D learners : Peter took the dog to the vet. He was hit by a car and had a broken leg. • Even with the whole text, as an EAL/D learner the idea of reference may still cause confusion i.e.-‘he’ may refer to the dog, the vet or Peter. Workshop 4 Session 2 Slide 33

  34. Point to remember Independent reading and writing will only occur when all three cueing systems are being used together. Workshop 4 Session 2 Slide 34

  35. The Cueing Systems – definitions • Grapho-phonic cues Knowledge of the conventions of print, of the way words look, and the relationship between sounds and letters. • Syntactic cues Knowledge of the conventions that determine how words fit together to convey meaning. • Semantic cues The meaning itself. Using knowledge of the topic and shared cultural knowledge to work out what makes sense. The meaning embodied in the vocabulary of the text. Workshop 4 Session 2 Slide 35

  36. Analysing texts Framework for analysing texts What assumptions has the author made about the reader’s prior knowledge? Title: What is the book about? What ideas in the book might be unfamiliar to the students? What is the purpose of the book? Tick one. To entertain?  To tell how to make or do something?  To provide information?  What vocabulary in the book might be unfamiliar to the students? Workshop 4 Session 2 Slide 36

  37. Rate the text How would you rate this text? • Easy. Children will need little or no help to understand it. • Children will need some help to understand it. • Difficult. Children will need a lot of help to understand it. This very much depends on the students you are thinking of. Workshop 4 Session 2 Slide 37

  38. Reflection • What did you learn from this session? • What skills/help/understandings did you need to be able to participate in the activities? • How did you feel while doing and / after completing the session? • Have you ever used or seen similar frameworks being used in the classroom? If so what do you think made the use of such a framework effective or not effective? • Could you use/adapt the analysis framework activity for choosing texts for the students you work with? Workshop 4 Session 2 Slide 38

  39. Reading activities Two major functions: • They should help readers understand the text they are reading • They should help readers develop good reading strategies for reading other texts Workshop 4 Session 3 Slide 39

  40. Divide your planning • What you will do with the students beforethe reading • What you and the students will dowhile(during)the reading is going on • What you will do after the book has been read (Wallace in Gibbons, Scaffolding Language, Scaffolding Learning, 2002, p84) Workshop 4 Session 3 Slide 40

  41. Developing Reading Activities • What is the reading task you have been asked to do with the children? • What is the purpose of the task? • Read the book or text yourself. Think about it. What are some things that the children may have difficulty with? (topic, content, language, the way the text/book is set out etc) • What skills could this text/book help the children to develop? Workshop 4 Session 3 Slide 41

  42. Before reading activities The purpose of before reading activities is to activate prior knowledge and to prepare the students for any unfamiliar/difficult content, language use or concepts that are in the text. Before reading activities should always aim to develop knowledge related to the overall meaning of the text. They are not meant to deal with every potential difficulty. Workshop 4 Session 3 Slide 42

  43. Before reading activities In your groups: • select activitiesyou think are appropriate to the text • add two or three of them to the ‘before reading’ section of Question 5 in the framework. Workshop 4 Session 3 Slide 43

  44. During reading activites The purpose of during reading activities is to model good reading strategies and to examine how the text achieves its purpose. Workshop 4 Session 3 Slide 44

  45. During reading activities In your groups: • select activitiesyou think are appropriate to the text • add two or three of them to the ‘during reading’ section of Question 5 in the framework. Workshop 4 Session 3 Slide 45

  46. After reading activites Before attempting after reading activities students need to be familiar with the text. In these activities students will be required to apply new knowledge. The three main purposes of these activities are: • To use the now-familiar text as a basis for language study • To allow students to respond creatively to the text (through art, drama and/or writing activities) • To focus more deeply on information in the text by representing the information in a different form (e.g. time line, diagram etc) Workshop 4 Session 3 Slide 46

  47. After reading activities In your groups: • select activitiesyou think are appropriate to the text • add two or three of them to the ‘after reading’ section of Question 5 in the framework. Workshop 4 Session 3 Slide 47

  48. Reflection • Have you ever used or seen similar frameworks being used for planning activities? If so what do you think made the use of such a framework effective or not effective? • What did you learn from this session? • What skills/help/understandings did you need to be able to participate in the activities? • How did you feel while doing and after completing the session? • Will using such a framework be helpful to you in your work? Why/why not? Workshop 4 Session 3 Slide 48

  49. Homework task 1 • Take a small group of students for a reading activity. Plan the before, during and after activities you will do with the group using the framework. Make a resource to go with one or more of your activities. Evaluate what you did. • Use the framework we have just used, • or a lesson plan we have used in previous workshops, • or one of your own choosing • or, if you are working towards a certificate, one provided by your registered training organisation. Workshop 4 Session 3 Slide 49

  50. Reading assessment Think about and brainstorm: • The types of reading assessment activities that are used in your schools • The assessment activities that you are involved in or responsible for • What do you think is the purpose of assessment? Workshop 4 Session 4 Slide 50
