Ages ago there was a lot of research backing up listening to reading while reading along. The thought being that if you saw (for example) the word "lasagna" while reading the word, then if you saw the word on your own you would/might recognize it. Many words are repeated in a book if it's important to the book/plot which would up the odds of this happening. I can't quote specific research though read a lot of it "back in the day". Our K-2 buildings have implemented Daily 5, but I don't actually know the research of just listening in school, though I would liken it to listening at home. It would potentially increase your receptive vocabulary and increase their schema of how stories work. I do believe that if "the sisters" read all the books they reference, then they have pooled a great deal of valuable info into their process. Not sure if this was helpful, but hopefully! norma An old man once said, "There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."

I know is one of the five components of the Daily 5. My students have been listening to books online and they are obsessed about it. I am glad that they are enjoying this activity, however, I don't have sufficient information on how it benefits their reading. I would love to hear your research, ideas or opinions. Thank you. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org Search the MOSAIC archives at http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive ____________________________________________________________ 53 Year Old Mom Looks 33 The Stunning Results of Her Wrinkle Trick Has Botox Doctors Worried http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/4f121dde4a42e18ea40st04duc _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org Search the MOSAIC archives at http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive
