Suppose the students dictate what they think the pictures say, therefore creating a book they "wrote." Something like "language experience" of old. Students are anxious to read what they've written!

These children usually look at the pictures and then make up text. They obviously do not really understand what reading is. I have had some success with home made personal books, games for learning high frequency words and cut-up sentences from real books, but would be very interested to hear if anyone else is working in this field, so we can share experiences. _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ 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
