Students begin their journey as readers with simple phonic lessons, but even with the apparent ability to read, many grow and struggle to garner meaning from text – a skill that goes far beyond identifying words.

Description

Have you ever glanced at a piece of mail and known exactly what it was without reading the full text? That skill is part of your schema, the experiences you’ve had and inferences you can make to give meaning to text. Reading is a skill that encompasses far more than phonemic awareness. Learn how to guide your gifted students to create dynamic meaning from their readings.
In this 1-hour course, you will learn to:
  • Understand gifted students’ unique social and emotional needs
  • Teach students to draw from schema and text to create meaning
  • Use running records to hone in on reading problemss

    It is a great course.

    Good

  3. Katrina – Private Pay (verified owner) –

    I am shocked and concerned that this is part of the gifted training. There is so much research and scientific data about the science of reading and Marie Clay’s method’s aren’t it. They have actually been found to cause damage and hinder reading in students in later years. Whole language does not work for most students. Students need implicit phonological instruction and Guided reading throws that out the window. It is shocking to me that Texas has teachers take the “Science of Teaching Reading” exam and then still teaches Marie Clay’s methods, which are not research based, best practices, etc. I’m not saying that teaching comprehension is wrong, analyzing text are wrong, but for an instructor to say “Do we read by sounds? No, no” is appalling.

    This was a great course.

  5. Frances – DONNA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    I loved how she explained “guided reading!” Teaching students to read is one thing, but to get them to establish a purpose makes it so much more meaningful. Dissecting a read allows for a deeper understanding.
