Chapter 3 Understanding what we read

Chapter 3 Understanding what we read: Comprehension, vocabulary, & Discussion: In building the student’s knowledge by using their existing schema but if there is no current schema there is very little comprehension. In helping students build their schema is having them read aesthetically. Students presently read to learn and have lost interest in reading for enjoyment. It call it the “hidden curriculum” when students enjoy reading a particular literature but know that their actually learning. In class we talked about giving the students interest readings for example an interest magazine or newspaper. This helps them in retelling in what was just read because of the content and comfortable with a topic. I feel as long you have a child reading they are comprehending. In building comprehension a teacher can guide a student by using the KWL process and taking a picture walk in hooking the student. Assessment is key to meeting the needs of students and remediating them. I have learned about DAP and Gardner’s multiple intelligence meeting the needs.
