Developing a Living Definition of Reading in the Elementary Classroom.
Mozombite, Amy
Using the guiding question, "What is reading?," this lesson invites students to interact with a variety of different texts as they attempt to uncover the skills necessary to successfully interact with the text. Based upon the discussion that follows, students will create a living definition of reading. During three 40-minute lessons, students will: identify different characteristics of texts from basic picture books to textbooks; compile a list of processes needed to read the different types of books; and develop a living definition of reading. The instructional plan, lists of resources, student assessment/reflection activities, and a list of National Council of Teachers of English/International Reading Association (NCTE/IRA) Standards addressed in the lesson are included. A reading survey is attached. (PM)
