Writers Read Better

Autor M Colleen Cruz
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 iul 2018

Descoperim în Writers Read Better un manual metodologic inovator, conceput pentru a recalibra modul în care cadrele didactice abordează alfabetizarea în ciclul primar și secundar. Apreciem în mod deosebit curajul autoarei de a inversa succesiunea pedagogică tradițională: în loc să urmeze modelul clasic în care lectura precede scrierea, M Colleen Cruz demonstrează cum abilitățile de scriere pot fi motorul care facilitează o înțelegere mai profundă a textelor citite. Cartea este structurată în jurul a 30 de perechi de lecții meticulos corelate, axate exclusiv pe texte non-ficționale, oferind un cadru aplicabil imediat la clasă.

Suntem de părere că forța acestui volum rezidă în abordarea sa pragmatică. Primele secțiuni se concentrează pe generarea ideilor și interpretarea intenției autorului, trecând apoi spre analiza structurii textelor informative. Fiecare lecție de scriere (de exemplu, „Expertiza autorului contează”) este urmată imediat de o lecție de lectură oglindă („Analiza sursei”), creând astfel un flux logic care consolidează competențele transferabile. Această ediție aduce în plus resurse video și secțiuni dedicate sălii de clasă digitale, adaptând teoria la realitățile tehnologice actuale.

Writers Read Better completează perspectiva oferită de The Reading/Writing Connection de Carol Olson, adăugând un accent specific pe textele de tip non-ficțiune și o structură de tip „pereche” care lipsește din abordările mai generaliste. În timp ce alte lucrări tratează lectura și scrierea ca procese paralele, M Colleen Cruz le integrează într-un sistem simbiotic. Această lucrare reprezintă o evoluție firească față de volumul său anterior, The Unstoppable Writing Teacher, unde se concentra pe depășirea blocajelor în predarea scrierii; aici, autoarea extinde viziunea, transformând scrierea într-un instrument critic de descifrare a sensului literar.

Descriere scurtă

We know that writing skills reinforce reading skills, but what's the best way to capitalize on this relationship? By flipping the traditional "reading lesson first, writing lesson second" sequence, Colleen Cruz helps teachers make the most of the writing-to-reading connection with 30 carefully matched lesson pairs centered around non-fiction texts. Lessons can be implemented either as a complete curriculum or as a supplement to an existing program. Complete with suggestions on adapting the lessons to suit the needs of the classroom and individual students, Writers Reader Better offers a solid foundation for giving students the advantage of transferable literacy skills.

Recenzii

Lots of books teach us the reasons why writing matters, yet Colleen adds a new reason to the list: Writing can be a lever that lifts our kids' reading work. And that can happen even when kids are not writing about reading, but are, instead, doing their own important writing work. Once again, Colleen nudges us forward.
Colleen offers literacy teachers a valuable comprehension instruction ‘hack’: help students get inside the brains of the writers they read by doing the same kind of writing themselves before they read. She argues convincingly that the more students understand how something was made, the better they’ll understand it when they encounter it as readers. She doesn’t just offer compelling research to prove it; she offers teachers dozens of paired lessons so that students will read and write information texts with more power. The lessons are streamlined to allow students maximum time for practice and application, and to help the busy teacher go from the page to the classroom quickly and almost effortlessly. I encourage all upper elementary and middle school teachers to give these lesson sets a try!

Most professional books on teaching nonfiction focus on teaching writing or reading, but not both. In this unique book, Colleen Cruz shows us how to teach complementary writing and reading lessons that will help students use what they’re learning about nonfiction writing to help them become more powerful nonfiction readers
.
This book refuels your energy to think about the way you plan and teach reading and writing. Colleen holds strong to the tenets of workshop—choice, voice, and agency—then beautifully blends the lessons and theory with her vast experience in classrooms, new research on writing and reading, and the dance we do with it all now in the digital world. The structure of the book and the lessons are completely accessible for all teachers, the way Colleen believes the learning and craft to be accessible for all students. It’s a gamechanger for those looking to augment and reflect on their current workshop model and for those who are going to give it a go. Colleen is with you every step of the way.
