Reading Assignment #3

For this assignment I was required to read the Elementary LEA article titled " Something old is new again: Revisiting language experience".

I really enjoyed reading this article.  Instead of being filled with boring scientific statistics, it was very intriguing.  I loved Roberta Dorr's lesson example for teaching reading.  She taught that every Language Experience Approach (LEA) has to bring in the student's cultural schemas.  I believe that cultural schemas should help fuel any lesson plan because it will help to engage the students.

  1. I would LOVE to teach a whole class just on cultural schemas! I'm glad you picked up on that!
