I am currently reading Comprehension by Collaboration by Harvey and
Daniels. In chapter 2 they discuss "reading is thinking" .
"Comprehension is about understanding. When we teach comprehension,
we are teaching for understanding." They go on to say that readers
need explicit instruction to decode and comprehend text and that when
teachers explicitly teach they show kids how the reading process
happens. The point is we need to teach the comprehension strategies
explicitly but need to also let students respond to their reading in
authentic ways. I think we get caught up in the responses, thinking
we need evidence for reporting tools. Thus the over emphasis in
strategy instruction.
I am really excited about this book and can't wait to put the ideas
to work. I also like the fact that they talk about how in the
business world if you get 85% participation you are a success if we
get 85% we fret and stew. They also give ideas for making small
groups inquiry circles successful and lesson ideas. The book also
sites many sources and makes me want to look them up which is exactly
what I want my students to feel and do.
