The inadequacy of individual educational program (IEP) goals for high school students with word-level reading difficulties     

Catone WV  Brady SA 《Annals of dyslexia》2005,55(1):53-78

This investigation analyzed goals from the Individual Educational Programs (IEPs) of 54 high school students with diagnosed reading disabilities in basic skills (decoding and/or word identification). Results showed that for 73% of the students, the IEPs written when they were in high school failed to specify any objectives regarding their acute difficulties with basic skills. IEPs from earlier points in the students’ educations were also reviewed, as available. For 23 of the students, IEPs were present in the students’ files for three time points: elementary school (ES), middle school (MS), and high school (HS). Another 20 students from the sample of 54 had IEPs available for two time points (HS and either MS or ES). Comparisons with the IEPs from younger years showed a pattern of decline from ES to MS to HS in the percentage of IEPs that commented on or set goals pertaining to weaknesses in decoding. These findings suggest that basic skills deficits that persist into the upper grade levels are not being sufficiently targeted for remediation, and help explain why older students frequently fail to resolve their reading problems.  相似文献   

The Talking Drawings Strategy: Using Primary Children’s Illustrations and Oral Language to Improve Comprehension of Expository Text     

Kelli R. Paquette  Susan E. Fello  Mary Renck Jalongo 《Early Childhood Education Journal》2007,35(1):65-73

Listening and reading comprehension can be assessed by analyzing children’s visual, verbal, and written representations of their understandings. “Talking Drawings” (McConnell, S. (1993). Talking drawings: A strategy for assisting learners. Journal of Reading, 36(4), 260–269 is one strategy that enables children to combine their prior knowledge with the new information derived from an expository text and “translate” those newly-acquired understandings into other symbol systems, including an oral discussion with a partner, a more detailed drawing, and written labels for the drawing. The Talking Drawings strategy begins by inviting children to create pre-learning drawings. These initial drawings are a way of taking inventory of a child’s current content knowledge about a particular topic. After pre-learning drawings are created and shared, children listen to or read an expository text (e.g., information book, passage from a textbook) on the same topic as their drawing. Pairs of students discuss the information and either modify their pre-learning drawings to be more detailed or create completely new drawings that reflect the recently-acquired information. Students are encouraged to label their drawings with words in a diagram or schematic fashion. By evaluating the “before” and “after” artwork, educators can identify advances in students’ reading and listening comprehension of the terminology, facts, and principles on a particular topic.  相似文献   

谈谈文学作品的正读与误读     

陈忠琴 《陕西教育学院学报》2006,22(1):42-45

读者对文学作品的阅读都会有正读和误读。正读是对文本的正确阐释,读者通过作品和作者相互沟通;误读是对文本阅读后的一种错误阐释行为,但误读并非是一种不可取的阅读。正读和误读是相辅相成、共存互补的,对文学作品的正确阅读应是将正读和误读有机结合,才能使阅读成为有意义的阅读,文本才能增值。  相似文献

Dreaming the Unstable Wings of Desire: Unseen,Educational Bruisings and The Elusive Self of Literature     

David Lewkowich  Jillian Pasieka 《Changing English: An International Journal of English Teaching》2017,24(1):24-33

When it comes to education, the dream cannot be controlled by the strictures of language or the conscious mind, and in its insistently disobedient character, is unwilling to submit to the demands of a deliberate and conscious curriculum. Indeed, we might say that what dreams represent is the absence of education itself, and a mobile energy antithetical to a fantasy of smoothly functioning teaching. In this article, we approach the question of dreaming’s place in education through two intertwined lenses: the conceptual and the literary. First, we intersperse throughout our paper excerpts from an untitled fictional narrative about a group of students who become progressively more beaten up, and whose teacher is unable to see their bruises, as they embark on the precarious task of expressing their dreaming, creative selves. We also turn to psychoanalytic theory (and, in particular, Thomas Ogden’s theory of dream thinking) to discuss the significance of the impenetrable nature of the dream, and ask how such qualities of unrepresentability might challenge our desires for answerable questions and legible answers. We end this piece with a recognition of the ways in which shared experiences of reading and writing may also support a place for dreams.  相似文献   

An Examination of Text Complexity as Characterized by Readability and Cohesion     

Deborah K. Reed  Sarah Kershaw-Herrera 《Journal of Experimental Education》2016,84(1):75-97

To better understand dimensions of text complexity and their effect on the comprehension of adolescents, 103 high school seniors were randomly assigned to 4 groups. Each group read versions of the same 2 informational passages and answered comprehension test items targeting factual recall and inferences of causal content. Group A passages had a challenging readability level and high cohesion; Group B passages had an easier readability and low cohesion; Group C passages had a challenging readability level and low cohesion; and Group D passages had an easier readability and high cohesion. Students in Group D significantly outperformed students in Group C (g = 0.78). Although the effect sizes of comparisons among all groups ranged from g = 0.13 to 0.73, no other comparisons were statistically significant. Results indicate that adolescents’ reading comprehension is dually influenced by a text's readability and cohesion. Implications for matching readers to instructional text are discussed.  相似文献

例谈基于语篇分析的中学英语阅读教学设计     

刘东明  苏君 《教育教学论坛》2019,(16):250-254

语篇分析是指对文章的文化背景、内在逻辑结构和连贯的语义等要素进行语言分析,从而理解篇章的内涵,是有效进行阅读教学的前提。教师只有深入研读语篇材料,对内容进行合理的开发与利用,才能通过教材更好地激发学生的学习兴趣,开阔学生视野,拓展学生思维,以满足学生的不同学习需求。本文以一节省级评优课为例,从语篇分析出发,旨在突破初中英语阅读教学过于模式化、机械化的局限,指导学生成为能阅读、会思考、有文化、有修养的人。  相似文献
