Chapter 7 Summary
Summary
Chapter 7 delves deeper into the content area reading requirements of middle and high schools. In particular, the complexity of reading as well as the length of reading assignments is highlighted as a challenge that students must be properly equipped to address as they progress through content area learning at the secondary level. Additionally, content area teachers, whose expertise is a driving factor in their decision to teach the content and whom already have a structured schema of content, also must contend with the schemata construct that students are undertaking in addition to student engagement and interest in the content. Ruddell (2008) notes that this challenge presents three central demands of academic learning that students will need to ultimately master: (1) the ability to learn from text; (2) the ability to satisfy a criterion of knowledge acquisition; and (3) the ability to increasingly become more competent strategic readers of content text

To meet this challenge, content area teachers can focus on strategies that will holistically guide students’ before, during, and after reading (also known as into, through, and beyond). (243). Ruddell (2008) surveys strategies and instructional models that will guide student reading, including: Think Predict, Read, Connect (TPRC); Webquests; KWL Plus; Predict-Locate-Add-Note (PLAN); Three-Level Reading Guides; Anticipation Guides; The Prereading Plan (PReP); Questioning the Author (QTA); Reading Response Groups; Read, Encode, Annotate, Ponder (REAP) and iREAP. Lastly, Ruddell (2008) acknowledges that, while a study skills perspective to teaching reading is overall ineffective, study skills instruction can still be integrated into content learning. Recommendations include connecting study skills to real-life as opposed to worksheet type study skills training, with emphasis on particular strategies such as Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review (SQ3R) and strategic usage of underlining and

154 Words | 1 PagesIn Mark Bauerlei’s Too Dumb for Complex Text, he points out that a lot of U.S students have difficulty to understand complex texts such as “U.S court decision, an epic poem, [and] an ethical treatise” in today.

Bauerlei believes

501 Words | 3 PagesChapter 11 was a good chapter. The doctors are working on math with Mila they are also working on how to search things on the computer. I do not think it is important for Mila to learn these skills because she should be learning how to be more like a human than a dolphin. If I were the doctors I would be teaching her of more human things than of math and searching on the computer. I chose these things because since she is more used to dolphins than us humans so she should learn more human things.
