Splendids,
I know I still have another lesson on the Tom transcript to do with one class, but it is a good idea to move on to reading all together while I can't be with you (I'm hoping to be back Friday).
To get started, get an overview of the topic from a non-linguistic perspective, then read more challenging texts. Answer these research questions on your blog and add a bibliography of reliable sources:
Who are the most popular children's authors for early years, infants and
juniors? What are the elements of these books that are successful?
Which books for young children do you remember/love? Why do you remember
them?
How are children taught to read in schools (there are different approaches so read more than one source)? What are the arguments for and against current approaches? Make sure you cover synthetic phonics and reading schemes.
What sorts of 'miscues' (virtuous errors based on misapplication of reading skills) do young readers make and how are caregivers encouraged to deal with them (again, numerous ways)?
Research needs to be completed and posted to your blog by end of Tues 29th. Remember, you are multitasking an awful lot so use the lesson time for this as well as some independent study time and don't put it off because you have other things to do. We will be able to move much faster if you've done this well.
