The readings we did for this week were a bit surprising! The first article I read was one about reading levels. It was titled "Let's Start Leveling about Leveling". This article was very interesting and seemed to be right up my alley. I am a big believer in giving student's a choice in what they want to read. However, I am also a big advocate of teaching children on how to choose a book for themselves. It is important implant this scaffold into their brains, because if they know how to find out which books suit and know how to pick out the books for themselves, they can apply this knowledge for later use, rather then just asking the teacher which book should I read?
The second article was titled Oral Reading and Miscues which contained a lot of information having to do with handling miscues and how to inform children about them. It gave questions to ask the child, like does that word makes sense in the rest of the story?, or does that word change the meaning or plot of the story? Things like this can guide a child through reading and help them pick up on miscues.
