The Educational “Stew” perspective:
• Allows us to focus both on the differences in the ingredients while at the same time the beauty as a whole.
• A good stew does not have a bunch of components that look, taste or have the same texture.
• The success of the stew depends not only on its looks but also on a lot of other factors including the taste, the freshness of the ingredients, the texture and the mixture itself.
Reading Methods• No single reading method will be
effective for all students• The application of a variety of
methods is extremely important• Teachers should appropriately
modify or combine methods in order to meet individual needs
• Students with learning disabilities should be provided with sound strategic approaches that empower them as readers, rather than be allowed to learn and internalize incorrect practices
Selecting the Appropriate MethodStudents who need to work on reading mechanics frequently respond to explicitly taught code-emphasis developmental reading methods such as phonic, linguistic or multisensory approaches.
Some effective reading approaches are:
• Phonics approach• Linguistic method• Multisensory approach• Neorological Impress Technique• Language Experience approach• Reading comprehension support
Writing• Teachers must model writing strategies.
• Teachers should exposed students to a wide variety of children’s literature with the goal of developing a feel for the rhythm and pattern of language that (they) will transfer to their writing.
• Students must have opportunities to write
• They must understand their own personal word banks in order to use them and write them
Some effective methods to assist second language learners are:
• Total Physical Response• Preview-Review• Audio Lingual Method• Direct Method• Content-based, Task-based, and
Participatory Approaches
