Re: [Assessment 1935] Re: reading aloudI just pointed that out because often the vocabulary is pre-selected by the publishers. I like to hide it from students at first to foster meaning negotiation. In the end, it is often the same words but they have been encountered in context and negotiated in context as well.

Well, yes, the vocabulary discussed is the vocabulary the students ask about. That's what I meant!

Hearing the whole text first is indeed an important bridge for all our ESL students. After that, I would prefer to say that the teacher asks the students about the vocabulary they want to clarify and lead a meaning negotiation discussion and asks questions to scaffold comprehension. Then, I would suggest reading by chunks and having students repeat chorally. I also do a round-robin reading providing assisted reading as needed. I like the idea of small group reading as well. Finally, pair practice could be added as a review or recapitulation at the end or at another time.

I'd like to add a comment along these lines as well. Many ESL students who have low L1 literacy have become, by necessity, strong auditory learners. Hearing the reading aloud can be a bridge for them between the written text and the oral language. However, in teaching reading to all levels of ESL students, I never have one student read out loud to the class. (It seems to me to leave the rest of class potentially unengaged for those moments.)
The model I use is: instructor reads material to students and leads discussion of vocabulary and comprehension; instructor reads one sentence at a time with students repeating each sentence and then again discuss vocabulary and comprehension. Then instructor and students read chorally together. After that, as a review later, students read out loud, one at a time, in small groups of three to four while the instructor moves from group to group and monitors their reading.

I want to add one more comment about reading out loud that has not been addressed. If someone is an auditory learner, reading comprehension and recall of text is greatly aided by listening to himself read. Many students have IEP's written so they are tested in isolation and can read the test materials out loud.

Hi all,
If you are just now joining us, please visit: http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/discussions/assessment/09readingskills.html for full information on our present discussion " Basic Reading Skills and the Literacy of the America's Least Literate Adults: Results from the 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL) Supplemental Studies."
Please send your questions and comments to the List now.
You can read the discussion in a couple of ways:
1. join us here in real time to read and/or add your voice to the conversation;
2. receive the daily posts in digest format so you can read them at the end of the day (see below for instructions);
3. read the discussion in the Assessment List archives at http://www.nifl.gov/pipermail/assessment/2008/date.html
(you do not need to be subscribed to read the daily archives)
4. read the discussion transcript once the discussion has closed - I prepare the transcript in user-friendly format so that it can subsequently be used in a variety of ways; I will post the transcript on the NIFL website; it usually takes me a week or two to prepare it.
Any questions!? Please don't hesitate to contact me.
Thanks,

Digest Format
This format allows subscribers to receive Discussion List messages "bundled" into one or two emails per day. The subject line will not be topic-specific, so any replies to digest format often mean the subject line will need adjusting before replying. Also, subscribers using digest format do not receive the information that was posted right away. Because of that, this option may or may not suit everyone's needs.
