Chapter II: Nature of Reading
This chapter discusses several models of Reading. The models discuss that one cannot acquire reading without the skills. One must be able to do one thing before going on the next level. If the reader is struggling with early reading skills he cannot move on and start to read fluently. In the transactional view of reading Rosenblatt addresses the importance of the reader's selective attention during the reading process. I am a firm believer that if a child is struggling with reading he must try to to read something he is familiar with and not be forced to read something he has no clue so that he can be successful.

Okay, I understand what you believe about reading-background knowledge's importance in comprehension. However, what do you think about the different models? Pros and cons? How does it fit with what your beliefs are?
ReplyDeleteThe multitiered model of instruction is a model that I especially like. It takes the students from the different tiers and I am able to see the progress in each of the students. Yes it is something that is repeated and becomes tedious sometimes but it benefits my students.
