    For my first journal, I read this article about multi-sensory language arts instruction.  It claims that if you can provide students with visual, auditory, and tactile-kinesthetic methods for learning, they are more likely to be successful.  One of the things that I agreed with most strongly that it seems many educators today shy away from is the idea that students should "practice to the point of automatization."  Automatic reading is not the key to comprehension but it is surely a necessary foundation for meaningful reading.  When I was a student, we practiced grammar and spelling until it was second-nature and generally my current abilities testify to that.  However, we have steered away from correctness in favor of sparing student egos.  I do not think that it has done them any good.  I wholeheartedly agree with this article that we MUST train our students to be good readers and writers.

    More emphasis is being placed on fluency. You can't understand what a text means if you can't figure out what it says. We don't want students to simple "bark at print" but there has to be a balance between fluency and comprehension.Was there anything in the article you would apply to your own teaching?

    "Teachers of English need to reach the tough guys out there, and they are probably not going to do it by prescribing another go at The Sound and the Fury. The problem is not so much that tough guys lack the brainpower to read: they simply do not want to." I like the suggestions given for books to motivate adolescent male readers given in this article. I appreciate how Lawrence Baines has collected information over the years to share with us as teachers.

    I smiled when I saw this... I have had some "tough guys" in middle school Language Arts, especially when we read only 1 text that has a male protagonist in the 8th grade. Luckily, we just started teaching Glory Road, a screen play about a college basketball team during the 1960s and my boys connected very well to that text. I actually found "Crime Lab 101: Experimenting with Crime Detection" at the Salvation Army over the summer and bought it. (It was one of my "grab everything on the shelf and buy it" days). A student that "hates reading" found that book and I actually have heard from other teachers that he "doesn't pay attention in class because of that book." I think there could be worse reasons for not paying attention. :)

    What ideas do you have for getting "tough guys" to read.?
  • Dianna Morrison on 12 Feb 12
     
    I always try to do an interest inventory with students and find books that fall into these interests to offer for independent reading time. I also love informational books that center around sports and life oddities, such as Ripley's or Guiness Book of World Records. Boys seem to like these types of books. I have used Sports Illustrated for Kids also as an offer for reading. For class books, I have used "The Air Down Here" by Gil Alicea, a teenage boy from the Bronx. It is written in journal format and tells about his life in his own words. I used this with 8th graders and the boys especially seemed to "grudgingly" get interested and want to read more! I also found that books about aliens, Big Foot, Sasquatch and those types of informational books were interesting to them as well!

    When I was a media center teacher, I could not keep the Guinness or Ripley books on the shelf! I think besides the "ew" factor, another draw is (of course) the pictures, and small chunks of text.

    This article, I found on www.lauracandler.com explains how one teacher with limited resources for chapter books, downloaded a Kindle app to all the computers she has available to her classroom and pays the Kindle price for a book and it can be pulled up on all those computers... at the same time. She even uses it as whole group hooked up to her projector.

    This was my starting point for my second Journal article. I am a visual learner, and I like things organized, so I love graphic organizers. This article was a great starting point on different things that you can use to help students with their reading. I use them regularly for my social studies class as a way to encourage students to read the chapters and learn material. It is great at assisting them make connections. In history there are a lot of cause-effect relationships and graphic organizers help students "see" that very clearly.
