[Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: "PBS" dyslexia page gone

Sat May 4 18:58:11 BST 2019

As I read through the emails about reading, I am taken with the notion that
"teaching" is taken into consideration more than "learning".  I believe
Shirley is referring to this as well.  As I have been reading the
discussions and what teachers should know and do, I sense the belief that
teaching causes learning to happen in a direct way.  I know some believe
that systematic teaching of reading is still the way to proceed.  However,
without knowledge of how and what children/learners learn, how can we
assume how to teach.

I see little reference to the work of linguists and and others who
discovered that young chidlren's written inventions revealed a learner's
knowledge of the relationship between sounds and letters.  Miscues and the
way in which young children self correct or keep reading also reveal
children's awareness of the grammar of their language(s).  This knowledge
came with children's explorations of the writing in addition their their
reading.  There is much evidence of children's literacy learning at early
ages represented in their reading and writing.  Their
explorations/inventions are sometimes used to prove they are "special
needs" children.  Teachers can gather such information in their own
classrooms and when they do, they develop knowledge about learning.
Teachers come to understand how children develop knowledge about written
language as they transact with written language.  Written language is
language, it is not a secondary system.
