Answer/Quote: “The language
experience approach (LEA) to reading instruction receives plaudits both in
practice and research literature. It motivates students to want to read and
effectively demonstrates the connection between spoken and written language.
The use of a student’s own language and background of experiences encourages
acquisition of a reading vocabulary as well as comprehension of the printed
word. P. 867.
Begin
with a stimulus—“anything that will prompt a discussion, such as an object,
animal, toy, field trip, holiday, person, special event or picture.”
After
discussion, students dictate their story and it is recorded on chart paper by
the teacher. The teacher then reads the dictated story, reads it again with the
children, then highlights words and phrases and asks children to try to read
what is on the chart paper.
Comment: Useful also with students, younger or older,
whose native language is not English. RayS.
