Robust Comprehension Instruction with Questioning the Author: 15 Years Smarter

Autor Isabel L. Beck, Margaret G. McKeown, Cheryl A. Sandora

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 dec 2020

Relevanța lucrării Robust Comprehension Instruction with Questioning the Author pentru cadrele didactice din învățământul primar și gimnazial (K-12) rezidă în abordarea pragmatică a dezvoltării competențelor de lectură, fiind un instrument esențial pentru acreditările profesionale în pedagogie. Subliniem faptul că acest volum, subtitrat „15 Years Smarter”, nu este doar o revizuire, ci o rafinare a metodei QtA, adaptată la realitățile curente ale sălii de clasă. Remarcăm modul în care autorii propun trecerea de la simpla interogare la o angajare profundă a elevului în procesul de construcție a sensului.

Această ediție extinde cadrul propus de Reading with Meaning de Debbie Miller prin integrarea explicită a vocabularului și a scrisului ca piloni ai comprehensiunii, nu doar ca elemente adiacente. Dacă lucrarea lui Miller se concentrează pe modelul eliberării graduale a responsabilității, Isabel L. Beck și echipa sa oferă protocoale specifice pentru formularea întrebărilor deschise (Queries) și gestionarea discuțiilor productive. Cartea completează organic opera anterioară a autorilor, în special Bringing Words to Life, făcând legătura între achiziția lexicală și înțelegerea textelor narative și expozitive.

Structura volumului este riguros organizată în patru secțiuni: fundamentele teoretice, elementele esențiale ale planificării lecțiilor QtA, teme speciale (vocabular și scriere) și implementarea practică. Notăm cu interes capitolul 12, care detaliază momentul în care elevii preiau controlul procesului de interogare, transformându-se din receptori pasivi în cititori independenți. Includerea celor patru texte complete în anexă oferă un suport didactic imediat, facilitând aplicarea teoriei fără necesitatea unor resurse externe suplimentare.

Descriere scurtă

This practical K-12 teacher resource explains the "whats," "whys," and "how-tos" of using Questioning the Author (QtA), a powerful approach for enhancing reading comprehension and engagement. Thorough yet concise, the book shows how to plan lessons using both narrative and expository texts, formulate open-ended Queries, and guide class discussions around them. The authors discuss how QtA has evolved over many years of classroom application and include innovative ideas for integrating vocabulary instruction and writing prompts into QtA lessons. Also provided are steps for gradually transitioning from teacher-led instruction to independent reading. The book features extended examples of teachers implementing QtA, as well as four complete texts that can be downloaded and printed for classroom use.

Recenzii

"The pioneering developers of QtA have examined the research, observed classroom discussions, and talked with teachers using QtA to further develop their effective approach. They have expanded QtA to include vocabulary and writing components along with text discussion. In particular, I am impressed with the numerous examples of QtA in action. Bravo!"--Timothy Rasinski, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Literacy Education, Kent State University

“A gem. Beck, McKeown, and Sandora synthesize decades of research and insight to show how teachers can effectively and authentically teach comprehension alongside vocabulary in any genre, subject, or grade level."--Jon Gustafson, MA, sixth-grade teacher, Columbia Heights Public Schools, Minnesota

"Wow! This book will appeal to teachers of all levels and all subjects. It is the kind of treasure you get from the focused attention of inspired researchers who are also great-hearted teachers. This transformative book is a trove of insight and research-backed strategies for improving students' engagement, reading, writing, thinking, and problem solving. I am particularly excited about how QtA focuses on the intelligence behind the text, and how that intelligence structures texts for meaning and effect. This translates nicely to helping readers make meaning, increase their capacity to identify and evaluate 'fake news,' incorporate audience considerations into their own writing, and much else."--Jeffrey Wilhelm, PhD, Distinguished Professor of English Education, Boise State University

"In this timely, highly instructive book, Beck, McKeown, and Sandora remind us that comprehension depends on the reader’s active engagement in making meaning from text, and provide classroom teachers with instructional tools and scaffolded supports. The book is informed by years of impactful research, thousands of classroom QtA lesson observations, and teacher feedback. It digs deep into QtA essentials, such as planning for lessons, formulating initial and follow-up Queries, and teaching vocabulary and writing in the context of QtA. The book provides authentic, relevant moves for productive discussions and showcases a teacher’s journey with using QtA to facilitate student transfer and independence. The teacher-friendly format and relevant classroom examples make this book a valuable professional development resource or text for graduate-level reading/literacy education and English language arts courses."--Vassiliki (Vicky) Zygouris-Coe, PhD, School of Teacher Education, University of Central Florida-
