Hello! I want to share with you this blog entry about the top-down processing of language. "Whole language" is a method of teaching children to read by recognizing words as whole pieces of language. Whole language is an approach to teaching reading and writing which differs in many ways from the traditional system in which most of us learned to read and write. Proponents of the whole language philosophy believe that language should not be broken down into letters and combinations of letters and "decoded." Instead, they believe that language is a complete system of making meaning, with words functioning in relation to each other in context.

Hi classmates! I want to share with you a quite helpuf resource I've found on the net. As we all know and as we have been told since the beginning of our lessons, storytelling can be perfect tool for English lessons. On this web, we as teachers and our pupils can create our own stories in a dynamyc and funny way. First of all, you have to choose the theme the story is going to be about and the grade of your pupils. Afterwards, it appears a kind of spin with different levers, and so comes to the screen aleatory facts to make an story. Afterwards, we can choose the format for our story and we can select the option of making a draw. Once we have completed this step, it's time to write the story and make a picture if we want. Finally, you can download the story in your computer. I would like you to have a look at this fantastic resource which appart from working storytellings, promotes the use of the ICT's. I hope you enjoy it.

It's a very interesting website. I liked that there are 4 different themes to create stories. I think I will use it Thank you!

I like so much this page, is a good tools to use in primary because each pupils can choose about what want they write, so each pupils write about their interesting. I hope that in the future we can use all of tools that we are sharing! :)
