Question:
What is one problem with early reading instruction?
Answer/Quote: “Indeed, some argue that limited exposure to
informational texts serves as a ‘barrier to full access to literacy’ (Pappas,
1991a, p. 461) and that exposure to informational texts in the early years is
crucial if students are to succeed in a world that demands the ability to
navigate the genres that dominate the later years of schooling and adulthood
(Ogle and Blachowicz, 2002; Venezky, 2000). What is this text type that is so
crucial to future success? Informational text….” P. 481.
Comment:
In the early years, kindergarten and
first grad, we have tended to emphasize narrative text. The authors suggest
that read-alouds also include extended experience with information texts on a
variety of topics. RayS.
