以读促写提升小学生语文核心素养的策略阐述

随着新课改的不断推进,小学语文教学中应用以读促写策略成为小学语文教师培养学生学习能力和学科核心素养的根本方式。在小学语文教学中,无论是阅读还是写作教学课程都属于实践性很强的教学课程,而应用以读促写策略将会有效锻炼学生的读写结合能力。因此本文就“以读促写策略”进行研究。     

通过群文阅读激发小学生的课外阅读兴趣

在相关教育工作者的深入研究下,群文阅读成为各年龄段开展阅读教学的新型模式之一,相比传统模式下的阅读教学,群文阅读具有很多突出优势.因此,本文从当前小学阅读教学的发展现状及群文阅读的优势出发,具体探究了通过群文阅读激发学生课外阅读兴趣的实践途径,希望能对新时期学生的阅读能力培养产生积极作用。     

基于核心素养理念的初中英语阅读教学实践研究

素质教育的不断发展,引起了教师的思考,教师的教学理念发生了转变,培养学生的核心素养开始进入教师视野。而英语教学中最能有效培养学生核心素养的方法就是英语阅读,而如何利用英语阅读培养学生的核心素养,就是我们需要共同探讨的问题。本文首先分析初中英语阅读教学现状,然后探讨基于核心素养理念的初中英语阅读教学实践方法。     

幼儿教育中幼儿阅读能力的培养

在幼儿教育中培养幼儿的阅读能力是遵循幼儿自身发展的需要,也是社会发展的需要。社会的发展需要高素质的人才,人才的培养首先要从幼儿的阅读能力下手,让幼儿形成良好的阅读习惯,为将来更好地学习科学文化知识奠定基础。幼儿由于年龄小,各种知识学习刚刚起步,因而在培养幼儿阅读能力前,首先要帮助他们树立良好的自信心。其次,在日常生活中要坚持引导幼儿阅读,让他们养成良好的阅读习惯。只要这样坚持,就一定能够取得预想的效果。     

The use of instructional time in early grade reading classrooms: A study in Herat Province of Afghanistan

The purpose of this study was to investigate how much time teachers in sampled schools in Herat Province of Afghanistan spend teaching literacy in early grade classrooms, how they use the time, and what factors lead to instructional time loss. We found that the actual time spent teaching literacy was often shorter than the allocated time. We also identified a few shared teaching practices that indicate a poor use of instructional time. Time loss factors identified included teacher and student absenteeism and tardiness, unofficial school closures and summer break extensions, and teachers’ maternity leaves.     

Making “secondary intervention” work in a three-tier responsiveness-to-intervention model: findings from the first-grade longitudinal reading study of the National Research Center on Learning Disabilities

Responsiveness-to-intervention (RTI) is a method for both preventing and helping to identify learning disabilities. An important feature is its multi-tier structure: primary intervention (tier 1) refers to classroom instruction; secondary intervention (tier 2) usually involves more intensive pullout, small-group instruction; and tertiary intervention (tier 3) typically denotes most intensive special education. Despite RTI’s popularity and promise, there are many questions about how to implement it effectively and efficiently. So, in 2001, the Office of Special Education Programs in the U.S. Department of Education funded the National Research Center on Learning Disabilities to conduct two large-scale, field-based, longitudinal, and experimental RTI studies. Both studies, one in reading and one in math, were conducted at first grade, with annual follow up for 3 years in the reading study and 2 years in the math study. This article summarizes findings from the reading study, which was designed to answer three basic questions about RTI’s pivotal secondary intervention: Who should participate in it? What instruction should be conducted to decrease the prevalence of reading disabilities? How should responsiveness and non-responsiveness be defined?     

Morphological awareness, phonological awareness, and reading in English–Arabic bilingual children

The paper reported an exploratory study that tested (a) the relationship between phonological and morphological awareness in English (L1)–Arabic (L2) bilingual children in Canada (N = 43), and (b) the relevance of these skills to word and pseudoword reading accuracy, and to complex word reading fluency. The results showed a significant correlation between phonological awareness in English and in Arabic. However, morphological awareness in the two languages was not correlated. Phonological awareness predicted reading cross-linguistically, but only Arabic morphological awareness predicted word reading in English. Moreover, while both phonological and morphological awareness in English predicted independent unique variance in English word reading, only phonological awareness in Arabic predicted Arabic word reading. Complex-word reading fluency was predicted by morphological awareness within both languages. Similarly, in both languages, phonological awareness was the single factor predicting pseudoword decoding accuracy. The results are discussed in terms of cross-linguistic differences between English and Arabic in orthographic depth and in morphological structure and transparency.     

Word reading and reading comprehension: stability, overlap and independence

Longitudinal twin data were analyzed to investigate the etiology of the stability of genetic and environmental influences on word reading and reading comprehension, as well as the stability of those influences on their relationship. Participating twin pairs were initially tested at a mean age of 10.3 years, and retested approximately five years later. Both word reading and comprehension were found to be highly stable, and genetic influences were primarily responsible for that stability. In contrast to studies with younger participants, no unique genetic influences were observed at follow-up testing in this older sample. High genetic correlations were obtained between word reading and reading comprehension at both ages, indicating common genetic influences. However, significant genetic influence on comprehension was also observed, independent of that on word reading. Although the phenotypic relation between the two measures appeared to decline across time, the genetic etiology of this relation was highly stable.     

Primary teachers as readers

In the context of the continued pressure and politicisation of the teaching of reading in England, the United Kingdom Literacy Association (UKLA) sought to ascertain patterns in primary teachers' reading, both personally and professionally. The project, undertaken in 11 Local Authorities in England, explored 1200 primary teachers' personal reading habits and preferences, investigated their knowledge of children's literature, and documented their reported use of texts in the classroom through a questionnaire. In addition, it sought to establish the extent of the teachers' involvement with and use of local area/school library services. This paper reports on the findings with reference to the teachers' personal reading, the frequency of this reading and the sources they use to select their reading material. It also considers the teachers' favourite childhood texts and the books they identified as highly significant to them, as well as their perceptions of the importance of literature. Connections are made to the data gathered about their knowledge of children's literature, and how primary teachers decide which literature to work with in the classroom.
