This article discusses a strategy that encourages honest discussion, critical thinking, concept formation, and the use of problem-solving strategy. It also allows the children to make predictions, revising their predictions through reading, and using evidence from the readings to defend their conclusions.
I liked the different strategies that the authors wrote about on page 103. Those strategies seem to be more student-led, which could mean that students are exploring and solving problems with spelling. However, I wonder how the strategies will work if student's aren't used to self-monitoring spelling individually (asking themselves, does it look right, sound right, and make sense)?
