Minecraft-Post-世界末日 - 研究所5 Anchors For Using Technology To Teach Reading

经过Paul France,nbct,启发

教学reading is an art filled with limiting factors: motivation, vocabulary, decoding, and comprehension are only a few of the comprehensive skills or traits that students need to be able to comprehend text, making the subject of literacy, in particular, difficult to teach.

电子游戏人,有很多方法可以吸引学生的兴趣,尤其是在与文本互动时,但是在一个越来越视觉且依赖于即时满足的社会中,与文本互动的延迟满足感可能不太诱使我们的小小那些。因此,重要的是要帮助他们看到与文本互动可能就像看电影或玩游戏一样令人满意。

But this is not a simple task. Not simple at all.

Luckily, the teaching profession is one of innovation, and teachers are ceaselessly experimenting with ways to use innovative practice to help kids learn how to read. Recently, I’ve learned that some teachers are even using games to teach reading, arguing that these interactive video games provide the same skills that students need to be able to read. And they’re right, video games do help to teach critical thinking, creativity, making connections, and many other skills that can contribute to and support effective reading skills. Likewise, there are now texts on these games like how-to guides, and interesting projects where students create stories about the content within these games.

However, much to the our chagrin, this high-interest method still isn’t fully teaching the art of reading in and of itself because what you’ll see is that these games rarely mention the “text” at all, despite the fact that these games possess a great ability to foster creativity, imagination, and lateral thinking. At the end of the day, kids still need the basics — they still need the text — and many of these strategies, while supportive of the reading process, are only band aids unless we get to the root of a child’s issues with reading.

So where do we find the root? How do we help kids access these skills and traits?

尽管没有一个“正确”的答案 - 因为每个孩子都有不同的答案,但从我们的学生那里删除了文字并将创可贴解决问题并不是要走的路。理查德·艾灵顿(Richard Allington)是苦苦挣扎的读者所说的真正重要的作者,即为了使读者赶上成绩水平的同龄人,他们需要的时间比平均表现同行需要一倍多的时间来取得必要的收益读。作为老师,我们的工作是给他们那个时间并帮助他们蓬勃发展。玩游戏,无论他们多么丰富,他们都不会给大多数孩子带来这么多的孩子,因此文字的时间如此。

5 Anchors For Using Technology To Teach Reading

如果游戏不是解决方案,那么其中有哪些方法可以解决问题的根源?这是五个“锚”或开始的想法。

1.评估

关于标准化评估的最大误解之一是,它们只是通过僵化的目标和目标制度标记儿童的一种方式。但是,这不是真的。严格的标准化评估允许收集丰富的数据,以便教师可以为学生提供所需的东西,并确切地达到其水平。给他们各自近端发展区域内的材料积极影响他们对自己的看法,帮助他们在阅读时具有“可以做”的态度。

2.词汇流媒体

3.针对词汇

One of the biggest limiting factors for reading comprehension and literate success is vocabulary. Vocabulary is like a series of interwoven puzzles, and when the puzzles are solved, students flourish in their own success. Kids, as a whole, are enticed by puzzles, and giving them targeted strategies that help them to unlock the code that vocabulary holds is one of the best ways to help them feel the success necessary to become resilient readers.

4.流利

由于处理速度,阅读可能会变得艰苦。这就是为什么孩子们如此热爱视频的原因之一。孩子们在图像中思考,视频以一种速度帮助孩子们进行处理,从而使他们能够如此想要的即时满足。如果学生的阅读流利程度低,他们可能会遭受阅读可能带来的挫败感。他们阅读的越多 - 他们阅读的文本越多,他们就会变得越流利。

5.结构

文本的结构组成部分通常被忽略,但是这些结构成分(就像构成词汇的难题一样)可以在充分理解时极大地支持阅读。对文本的结构理解可以帮助为预测和元认知提供基础。它给孩子们期望的东西;它给了他们一个参考点。

就在前几天,我的一位读者对整个班级说:“我知道有时候在故事结尾处作者这样做,这让我认为我需要回到文本中,”当提到奇怪的结论时克里斯·范·阿尔斯堡(Chris Van Allsburg)的书“阿卜杜勒·加西兹(Abdul Gasazi)的花园。” While rudimentary, her intuitive understanding of the structure of stories supported her comprehension and, ultimately, her success.

Conclusion

Innovation and creativity in what we do with our students is the driving force of education. Kids now are different than kids were even ten years ago. However, there are certain things that don’t change, and there are certain foundational skills that support reading in the same way it supported reading ten, twenty, or even one-hundred years ago. We can’t lose sight of that, and we can’t forget about the basics — no matter how fun and engaging they may seem.

While these tricks of the trade may give us some hope when working with students, tricks fade. True success resides in a student’s ability to feel good about themselves and conquer difficult skills in the right way. I fear, at times, that some of these modern methods only help children to avoid the beautiful struggle that comes with comprehending text. But the way to provide them the support them with this important struggle is by sticking to the basics, but building up the basics in a successful way.

Because the basics give our students a firm ground upon which they can plant their feet and succeed. And isn’t that what we want for our kiddos?
