4 | CalicoTeach | 4/26/2012 | 5:00 PM | Welcome to #LangChat. Tonight's topic: What reading strategies really help novice learners? #flteach #actfl #educhat | ||
5 | placido | 4/26/2012 | 5:01 PM | Welcome everyone! Tonight's chat is very near and dear to my heart! I love reading! :) #langchat | ||
6 | klafrench | 4/26/2012 | 5:02 PM | @placido Teaching them to look for cognates and root words helps a lot. #Langchat | ||
7 | Marishawkins | 4/26/2012 | 5:02 PM | Hi! I am about to start the Agentes Secretos novel with my students. #langchat | ||
8 | CoLeeSensei | 4/26/2012 | 5:02 PM | new to #langchat as a Japanese teacher! | ||
9 | esantacruz13 | 4/26/2012 | 5:02 PM | Should be an interesting topic! I love reading! #langchat | ||
10 | klafrench | 4/26/2012 | 5:02 PM | Hello all! French, grades 7-12. Really looking toward to our discussion tonight. #Langchat | ||
11 | placido | 4/26/2012 | 5:02 PM | What are some strategies that novice readers need to be taught in order to have success? #langchat | ||
12 | CalicoTeach | 4/26/2012 | 5:02 PM | Let us know you are hear and feel free to introduce yourself. #Langchat | ||
13 | alenord | 4/26/2012 | 5:03 PM | I teach mine not to read the sentences in order. Look for familiarity, then build around it. #langchat | ||
14 | placido | 4/26/2012 | 5:03 PM | One thing I do right away is show them the power of cognates in Spanish! #langchat | ||
15 | klafrench | 4/26/2012 | 5:03 PM | Also, lots of success in annotation for me. Making notes while they read. #Langchat | ||
16 | CalicoTeach | 4/26/2012 | 5:03 PM | @placido and I will be moderating. I think the entire #langchat team will be here. (@SECottrell @DiegoOjeda66 @dr_dmd ) | ||
17 | esantacruz13 | 4/26/2012 | 5:04 PM | A dictionary might help too. I dont know why students are scared of dictionaries. They're their friends. #langchat | ||
18 | placido | 4/26/2012 | 5:04 PM | Help students brainstorm a list of things good readers do while reading. Re-read, underline unknown, guess in context, cognates. #langchat | ||
19 | senoralopez | 4/26/2012 | 5:04 PM | Spanish hs nj #langchat | ||
20 | alenord | 4/26/2012 | 5:04 PM | RT @placido: @klafrench And I think you really have to SHOW them these strategies. It is not an innate skill. #langchat YES! | ||
21 | klafrench | 4/26/2012 | 5:04 PM | @placido Absolutely! Cognates hold the key to reading for novices. #Langchat | ||
22 | BridgetCroyle | 4/26/2012 | 5:04 PM | French teacher from Hamilton, ON here. Grs 1-8 #langchat | ||
23 | esantacruz13 | 4/26/2012 | 5:04 PM | I think annotating is the key to great reading #langchat | ||
24 | jas347 | 4/26/2012 | 5:04 PM | reading strategies must be retaught for L2..students forget they can scan and skip and look for context clues in other langs, too #langchat | ||
25 | placido | 4/26/2012 | 5:04 PM | @klafrench And I think you really have to SHOW them these strategies. It is not an innate skill. #langchat | ||
26 | CoLeeSensei | 4/26/2012 | 5:04 PM | I use "2 & talk" - working with a partner to read/decode two sentences at a time in Japanese - they love the support #langchat | ||
27 | senoralopez | 4/26/2012 | 5:05 PM | It's very important to make sts understand it is not necessary to know every single word #langchat | ||
28 | CoLeeSensei | 4/26/2012 | 5:05 PM | my students read knowing that we will be orally recapping the story etc - really gets them to 'understand' the text #langchat | ||
29 | dr_dmd | 4/26/2012 | 5:05 PM | RT @klafrench: @placido Teaching them to look for cognates and root words helps a lot. #Langchat | ||
30 | alenord | 4/26/2012 | 5:05 PM | @CalicoTeach It's really worked. Gets them past the need to understand every word. #langchat | ||
31 | placido | 4/26/2012 | 5:05 PM | I train them to initially just skip a word they don't know. Many times meaning doesn't require every word! #langchat | ||
32 | dr_dmd | 4/26/2012 | 5:05 PM | Welcome to #LangChat. Tonight's topic: What reading strategies really help novice learners? Greetings from Napa everyone - Don here, late! | ||
33 | klafrench | 4/26/2012 | 5:05 PM | @placido Definitely! I have mine underline/check words they know and look up words they don't. #Langchat | ||

35 | CalicoTeach | 4/26/2012 | 5:05 PM | @alenord I love that idea of scanning for familiarity first. #langchat | ||

38 | CalicoTeach | 4/26/2012 | 5:06 PM | @alenord Taking the text and creating a wordle is a great way to teach that strategy. Understand topic first then read content. #langchat | ||

40 | tracy_dinesen | 4/26/2012 | 5:06 PM | I remind my students of the strategies they use to read in english. We also analyze the torture before we read paired with a kwl #langchat | ||
41 | alenord | 4/26/2012 | 5:06 PM | I want to work more with pre-reading or anticipation guides, but don't have much experience with them. Anyone else? #langchat | ||
42 | placido | 4/26/2012 | 5:06 PM | My kids love to use highlighters while reading! #langchat | ||
43 | CoLeeSensei | 4/26/2012 | 5:07 PM | we sometimes 'draw' visuals to illustrate the reading piece as we go along - to check for understanding #langchat | ||
44 | placido | 4/26/2012 | 5:07 PM | Important stuff! RT @BridgetCroyle: I teach full-on reading strategies. Pre-reading, look at pics, guess whats going on. #langchat | ||

46 | alenord | 4/26/2012 | 5:07 PM | I also like having them read and then summarize just to show the gist of what they've read. #langchat | ||
47 | dr_dmd | 4/26/2012 | 5:07 PM | #langchat Good literacy strategies, for L1 or L2 include scimming/scaning for key ideas/words as a basis for comprehension, & read/re-read | ||
48 | senoralopez | 4/26/2012 | 5:07 PM | @alenord that's great. I like to make graphic organizers #langchat | ||
49 | klafrench | 4/26/2012 | 5:07 PM | @senoralopez Reading for information or having guided notes helps too. #Langchat | ||
50 | BridgetCroyle | 4/26/2012 | 5:07 PM | I teach full-on reading strategies. Pre-reading, look at pics, guess what's going on. #langchat | ||
51 | placido | 4/26/2012 | 5:07 PM | Controversy alert: I have novices translate for meaning. Allows me to HEAR what they get out of it. #langchat | ||
52 | CoLeeSensei | 4/26/2012 | 5:07 PM | we will often brainstorm words we already know about the topic prior to reading to draw on past experience, known vocab etc #langchat | ||

58 | dr_dmd | 4/26/2012 | 5:08 PM | #langchat Avoid translation! The text means something in L2, not contingent on L1 for meaning - hard to convince kids of this truth! | ||
59 | placido | 4/26/2012 | 5:08 PM | It helps to discuss and personalize when possible when reading. Emotional connection! #langchat | ||
60 | Marishawkins | 4/26/2012 | 5:08 PM | I also have students predict what is going to happen in the story. #langchat | ||
61 | klafrench | 4/26/2012 | 5:08 PM | @placido we did this out loud today. Read a sentence then translated it together. #Langchat | ||
62 | alenord | 4/26/2012 | 5:08 PM | @CalicoTeach Good idea! #langchat | ||
63 | CalicoTeach | 4/26/2012 | 5:08 PM | @alenord Images and pre-teaching key vocab can help. #langchat | ||
64 | alenord | 4/26/2012 | 5:09 PM | Oh! I am Amy from Texas and I tweet with a twang, lol. I teach Spanish. #langchat | ||

66 | spanishplans | 4/26/2012 | 5:09 PM | 1) Use cognates 2)Use previous vocabulary 3) Use context #langchat | ||
67 | klafrench | 4/26/2012 | 5:09 PM | @CoLeeSensei I am going to have mine do this on their iPads next year. Drawing connects the meaning to reality. #Langchat | ||
68 | CalicoTeach | 4/26/2012 | 5:09 PM | @senoralopez Love graphic organizers used with reading strategies. Predict, retell, find key ideas, etc. #langchat | ||
69 | placido | 4/26/2012 | 5:09 PM | BTW Translation for MEANING is not the same as grammar translation . http://t.co/rD4rUSLT #langchat | ||

76 | senoralopez | 4/26/2012 | 5:10 PM | @CalicoTeach yes compare and contrast, description of setting, characters etc #langchat | ||
77 | trescolumnae | 4/26/2012 | 5:10 PM | @senoralopez Yes, that is absolutely essential! When we do whole-class reading activities, I ask for show of hands if 50-80% comp #langchat | ||

80 | dr_dmd | 4/26/2012 | 5:10 PM | @placido #langchat Yes, true. | ||
81 | tmsaue1 | 4/26/2012 | 5:10 PM | I see many teachers asking for way too many details in reading activities. Must keep #ACTFL proficiency guidelines in mind. #langchat | ||
82 | CalicoTeach | 4/26/2012 | 5:10 PM | @Marishawkins Doing read alouds first and asking for predictions is a great strategy to get students talking and check understnd. #langchat | ||

89 | tracy_dinesen | 4/26/2012 | 5:11 PM | I will take difficult sentences & have my students try 2 decipher difficult words from the context but only if they r essential #langchat | ||
90 | placido | 4/26/2012 | 5:11 PM | The kids will translate in their heads anyway. Might as well acknowledge L1 is one more resource they have available. #langchat | ||

97 | alenord | 4/26/2012 | 5:12 PM | Maybe webbing would be good reading task? #langchat Main idea in middle, branching out into details to show depth of understanding? | ||
98 | CalicoTeach | 4/26/2012 | 5:12 PM | @tmsaue1 Elaborate please. Examples of asking for too much? #ACTFL #langchat | ||
99 | Marishawkins | 4/26/2012 | 5:12 PM | @tmsaue1 how do you keep the guidelines in reading? #langchat | ||
100 | trescolumnae | 4/26/2012 | 5:12 PM | @jas347 Yes - so important to reteach (or at least refocus on) reading strategies. They don't automatically transfer #langchat |
