TEACHERS NOTES The activities in this teachers guide focus on giving lower-level readers the tools to construct, extend and examine the meaning of text. The activities focus on the essential elements in reading literacy. Initial understanding Vocabulary Initial understanding of text is the initial impression or unreflected understanding of what was read. Skills include identifying details and facts from text read, and recognising aspects of literal text, such as sequence of events or main ideas. Without initial understanding, no reader would be able to comprehend the text on a higher level. Vocabulary skills include decoding words, using words correctly, understanding meanings and extending the actual amount of words the student knows. Increased competency with vocabulary increases fluency when reading both silently and aloud. As a student decodes or recognises words more easily, he/she will also be able to determine and extend the meaning of entire passages more easily. Viewing Sample Interpretation Developing interpretation goes beyond the initial impression to a more complete understanding of what was read. The reader must distinguish between and compare separate concepts in a text to extend its meaning. Examples of interpreting skills include differentiating facts from opinions, making comparisons, summarising and identifying cause and effect relationships. 4 Astonishing headlines Prim-Ed Publishing ~ www.prim-ed.com
TEACHERS NOTES Critical response Reflection Personal reflection and response requires the reader to relate topics to his/her own experience. As each student connects his/ her own experiences with the text, information becomes clearer. Having internalised ideas, the reader can much more easily express his/her response. Demonstrating a critical response requires the reader to detach himself/herself from the text in order to consider and evaluate it. A critical stance may include identifying the intended audience and critiquing the text. Research project Students need to develop research skills for academic competency, as well as personal advantage. Research requires problem-solving skills and writing proficiency, along with reading ability. For many people—including students and teachers—learning about the events in the Astonishing headlines series can be both interesting and frightening. You may wish to discuss with the class unsuitable remarks and behaviour. Point out that people often react oddly to scary or sad situations. Mention that some people laugh when they are uncomfortable. Remind students not to encourage inappropriate behaviour. Disasters are typically tragic and shape the lives of many people.
