This semester in my “Instructional Strategies for Emergent Literacies” the first assignment is a read and response log. The purpose of this assignment is to show how individuals interpret text. The literary source for the first log is from chapter two of a booked called Essential Linguistics.
From the reading I now know that the two views of reading are the word recognition view and the sociopsycholinguistic view. Word recognition is recoding, or changing written language to oral language. An issue with this view is a student may be able to use phonics to pronounce a word he/she does not know, but they will not know the meaning of the word. This practice is very common in my Mathematics course. My professor introduces new math vocabulary to the class before each lesson. In the classroom this is when a teacher has students read out loud or read along to stumble upon the words they do not know. The teacher can also use words in the classroom that the students may not know to introduce them to new vocabulary words. The second view is the sociopsycholinguistic view where the purpose of reading is to understand the meaning of words. After understanding the meaning of words there is understanding the meaning of sentences and text. Unlike word recognition, the sociopsycholinguistic view looks like students reading silently in the classroom. I always come across words/terms in my homework reading assignments that I do not know but can pronounce correctly. I have to either google, ask a classmate, or ask the teacher what the word means so that I fully understand what the text means. Aside from oral language there of course is written language. There is the learning view (traditional writing) and the acquisition perspective (process writing). I personally prefer the acquisition perspective over the learning perspective because it allows for me to write stress free and receive feedback from my peers. I do not have to worry about the format or paper length of a five paragraph essay. With the acquisition perspective I can write and then later asses my work. I also get to write different types of papers and learn how different formats are useful for conveying different messages. All in all, after reading this chapter I have learned four new concepts. As a future educator this information is useful for me so I can determine which teaching style suites me best. I now know that I am in between when it comes to reading views but I learn more towards the acquisition perspective when it comes to writing. I like the idea of letting students collaborate with one another, use different formats, and learn from themselves.
