Reading Comprehension Strategies By Simone Mary

Comprehension should always be the chief concern when teaching reading. What good is reading if the child has no understanding of what is read? In this article I will outline key reading comprehension strategies and show how they should be used.

Before reading you should allow children to make predictions about what they think the book will be about based on either the title or the picture on the front cover of the book. Children can also make predictions about what they think will happen based on what they read on the back cover of a book. Discuss with them their predictions and ask them to justify why their predictions are reasonable based on what they have read. Create a prediction chart that shows titles such as: WHAT WE PREDICT/WHAT HAPPENED IN THE STORY. List everything students predict will happen under the 'WHAT WE PREDICT' column. Once the story has been read you can write what actually happened in the story in the 'WHAT HAPPENED IN THE STORY' column. Students should be allowed to adjust predictions so the 'WHAT WE PREDICT' column can be changed as the story is read. Older readers must be taught that while they are reading they should be looking out for the setting of the story, that is, the time and place the story takes place. The characters and plot are also essential elements they should be focused on as understanding of these story elements is at the heart of comprehending any story that is read.

Allowing children to do research on a topic before it is presented in a story format is highly effective for improving reading comprehension. This strategy however, works better with older readers. Children will feel more in tune with the content of the text if they are allowed to develop previous knowledge.

Another reading comprehension strategy that I have found to be highly effective is to do vocabulary work before hand. You can introduce children to new words. Have them break them up into syllables. Put the new words on flashcards. You can also have children find out the meaning of these words in the dictionary, with all this groundwork, once you get to the text it will be smooth sailing.

After reading, children can do written and oral retelling of the story. Engage children in answering questions. These may be in the form of traditional written comprehension questions or oral comprehension questioning. I mentioned using research as a pre-reading strategy but this can also be done after reading.

Encourage children to act out stories in groups with each child taking turns playing characters from the book.

Completing a story map is a good activity for students to do after reading as they get a chance to summarize and to zero in on what happened at different points in the story. A good story map is one that asks students to tell what happened at the beginning, middle and the end of the story.

Make an art-literature connection by having students draw and paint or color their favorite scenes. They can also write something about what they have drawn so that a writing connection is also made.

How You Can Learn Spanish At Home By Steve Dolan

Spanish is a very useful language to know, and it is easy to learn at home and at your own pace. Spanish is very similar to English; it uses the same alphabet and has many similar words, which makes it easy to learn. The most common and most convenient way to learn Spanish in the comfort of your own home is by using language audio CDs or online Spanish courses.

Learn Spanish Using Audio CDs

Spanish CDs come in different types. There are series for beginners, advanced and expert. If you are aspiring to learn for the first time always start with the CDs for beginners. On the CDs you will have guidance on pronunciation, daily lessons, and homework, which can then be cross-checked for correct answers. Most Spanish language CDs, in addition, come with a manual, which will help with learning to write Spanish and with some of the homework. All bookstores will carry Spanish language CDs, and so will some department stores such as Wal-Mart in their books section.

With a Spanish audio CD, you can hear the correct pronunciation, which is a very important aspect of learning a language that books can't teach you. People who learn through conventional classroom methods tend to be a little shy of the way they speak. Because the audio lessons will make you very familiar with the pronunciation, it will give you confidence to talk with Spanish-speaking people sooner. Since you will be confident to begin a conversation, you can begin using your Spanish language skills immediately.

The biggest benefit to learning from CD's is that you can study your lessons at the same time as doing something else, like chores, exercise, or driving. This will save you any amount of time, which will shorten the time necessary for mastering the language.

Learn Spanish Online

Though many people do not consider the alternative, it is possible to master the Spanish language online. In fact it can be one of the most ideal and cheapest methods of learning the language. Some sites offer free lessons in certain areas such as grammar or verbs, while others concentrate on pronunciation and conversation. Other sites offer complete Spanish lessons covering all areas and designed to allow the student to become proficient in the language. Some sites require payment, and it is best to compare sites in order to assess your requirements and what you will be getting out of the experience. Motivation is probably the most important thing when you learn Spanish online because there is no actual teacher to frown at you for skipping class.

Learning Spanish on the Web is great because sites incorporate pictures, sound, games, and spelling and writing into the learning experience. Not only can you hear the words pronounced, some sites even record your own voice's sound waves and compare it to a native speaker's pronunciation on a chart, so you can actually see how good your pronunciation is.

Some Spanish learning sites have online tutors convenient for contact. Sites with online tutors provide a much better technique to comprehend the Spanish language online because they give help and support whenever needed. For example, if you are struggling with a particular area, then having an online tutor available for consultation can be extremely beneficial. Other online courses provide you with live forums where you can chat with others that are learning Spanish online like you.

There are a number of kinds of sites for learning Spanish on the Internet. Some sites are like textbooks, with exercises in Spanish and explanations in English. Others are more multi-media. Depending on your learning style, some sites are better than others. Spend your first session scouting the Internet for good sites. The most convenient part about learning the Spanish language online is that the websites can be accessed at any time of the day or night!

Learn by Practice

Don't forget to practice! That is the key to learning any language. There are several ways to practice your Spanish lessons at home. Get some light reading material, such as fashion magazines, comics, joke books, whatever that holds your interest, and read. Have a dictionary handy for the words you do not know. Another enjoyable way to become competent with the language is to watch Spanish language TV or Spanish movies without subtitles. In this method, you will be bound to pay attention to the spoken language, which will further strengthen your grasp on it. However, the very easiest, and fastest, technique to learn Spanish is to converse with someone on a regular basis. If you are lucky enough to have the acquaintance of a native Spanish speaker, he or she can correct your accent and grammar as well as teaching you generally used colloquial phrases. Remember that you must apply what you learn. Practice Spanish on a daily basis to master Spanish in no time.

Should TV Bring Back Room 222? By Stuart Nachbar

Every profession could use a good TV show to help it flourish in tough times. With No Child Left Behind, maybe teachers need one more than ever.

I've heard most of the arguments on why this happens: pay, working conditions, job satisfaction, bureaucracy, lost tenure, ad infinitum. If you're reading this story, I'm sure you have too.

I know that students decided to become teachers for reasons other than money, and they didn't begin their working life expecting the other negatives. They must have inspired by something, maybe a teacher who took a personal interest, or turned them on to learning. Or, maybe it was attraction of having summers off.

I can say one thing, for sure. Teachers were rarely 'made' because of Hollywood; film and television producers have done little in recent years to portray teaching in an honest and positive light. They've certainly done a lot for the images of law enforcement, crime scene investigation and medicine, but not K-12 education.

If you are in your thirties or forties, what movies and TV shows about teachers come to mind?

Welcome Back Kotter (1975-79) was hilarious. Having grown up in New Jersey, I admit that I'm a huge fan, because the show made fun of Brooklyn. But my Hebrew school friends imitated the 'Sweathogs,' the remedial rowdies in Kotter's class. Even the nerdy girls dreamed of being with Vinnie Barbarino, Freddie 'Boom-Boom' Washington and Juan Epstein, the Puerto Rican Jew, while the guys shot their hands up, shouting 'Ooh! Ooh!' like Arnold Horshack. Like the Sweathogs, my classmates wanted to annoy and bury the teachers, not praise them.

Boston Public (2000-2004) was created by David E. Kelley, who also brought us LA Law, Boston Legal, The Practice, Doogie Howser M.D. and Picket Fences. The latter featured Fyvush Finkle as a doddering attorney. Thanks to Kelley, he later plays Harvey Lipshultz, a doddering widowed social studies teacher. Harvey was not exactly a role model for someone starting a teaching career. Chi McBride played Steven Harper, the fair-minded principal to near perfection, though I could not same the same for his vice principals: Scott Guber (played by Anthony Heald), the authoritarian dork and Ronni Cooke (played by Jeri Ryan, of Borg collective fame in Star Trek Voyager), a lawyer-turned-teacher who directs the school to teach to standardized tests. They were not exactly role models for teachers who aspired to become principals.

Then there are movies such as: The Blackboard Jungle (1955), To Sir, with Love (1967), Class of 1984 (1982), The Principal (1987), Stand and Deliver (1988), Lean on Me and Dead Poets Society (both 1989), Class of 1999 (1990), Dangerous Minds (1995), The Substitute (1996), One Eight Seven (1997), and Freedom Writers (2007). They all revolve around the same theme: an idealistic young teacher struggles to reach their students and unsuccessfully navigates the educational bureaucracy in an urban public school, before stumbling on their own success formula. The ending to any of the movies is the same: the teachers are popular, even loved, and with their students behind them, they teach on.

But that's not real life, that's the entertainment 'biz.

Would a serious television drama that better depicts teachers in real life actually succeed? Could it inspire young people to become teachers?

In other words, what if we brought back Room 222, in re-runs, or updated for today?

Room 222 aired on ABC from September 17, 1969 to January 11, 1974 for 112 episodes. It was centered around an American History class at Walt Whitman High School in Los Angeles, taught by Pete Dixon (Lloyd Haynes), an African-American teacher. Other characters featured in the show were guidance counselor Liz McIntyre (Denise Nicholas) as Pete's girlfriend; the principal, Seymour Kaufman (Michael Constantine) and Alice Johnson (Karen Valentine) as a student teacher. In addition, recurring students were featured from episode to episode.

Pete Dixon, the main character, was not much different from the idealistic teachers in the movies, though Haynes' acting made him far more believable. While I remember Karen Valentine's character as being somewhat ditzy, the others appeared genuine and not ridiculously overconfident. They talked amongst each other about how to improve their teaching and best act in loco parentis, without trying too hard to be mom or dad to their students.

Like the movies, Room 222 tried to address contemporary political issues of the 1960’s and 70’s such as homosexuality, war, race relations and woman's rights. The show boiled a lot of content into half an hour. Boston Public needed an hour to deal with three similar themes in a single episode.

But unlike the movies, the teachers didn't always conjure heroics and the students were not always cheering at the end. There were tragedies: the ex-Marine who couldn't play high school baseball after coming home from Vietnam, for example, or more sadly, a bright and promising senior who dies of leukemia. Teachers and the principal showed their warts. Seymour Kaufman was the type of principal that any teacher would like to have for a boss. He was the Sherman Potter (of M*A*S*H fame) of high school principals, minus the Midwestern witticisms.

Did Room 222 succeed?

It almost didn't: weak early ratings almost led ABC to pull the show after the first season, but Room 222 ended up winning the Emmy for Best New Series at season's end. Room 222 was nominated for seven Emmy awards and seven Golden Globes between 1970 and 1971.

More amusing, Lloyd Haynes and Karen Valentine won TV Land Awards as Teacher of the Year and Classic TV Teacher of the Year -- thirty years after Room 222 went off the air!

ABC launched Room 222 in the same year as The Brady Bunch. Their final episodes concluded only two months apart. Yet, while we fondly remember the Brady's through numerous spin-offs and regular re-runs, we do not find Room 222 episodes in syndication today. I guess that comedies are more marketable on the re-run stations during prime time.

Would Room 222 succeed today, in a similar format? I'm not sure. Room 222's story lines showed open discussion and problem solving; the teachers rarely complained about the task of teaching. None of them kvetched about the low pay, or the students they taught. Teachers, like the crusty Mr. Dragan (Ivor Francis) who had traditional teaching styles were frequently portrayed as jaded. Today, the most fervent advocates of No Child Left Behind would laud them as teachers and scholars.

A Room 222 for the 2000's would have its share of hits and misses in political correctness. There may be too much competition for a major network to take the risk. These days, you're more likely to see a well-developed show covering the themes in Room 222 on HBO and their cable kin. They're more comfortable with serious, controversial programming, such as Mad Men, Big Love and The Sopranos.

Maybe the reason we don't have a teacher's docudrama is that parents don't want to hear teachers complain about a tough day at work, after they've had their own bad days at work. Parents do not usually have sympathy for teachers; otherwise, they'd always support school budget proposals.

It's also possible that parents do not want their children to know that their teachers work for a living -— and that teachers consider teaching a job, as opposed to a calling.

That's a natural, but over-protective, impulse.

Parents don't want their kids to grow up to be Sweathogs.
