Discussion Post Question: Approaches to reading represent general instructional plans for achieving goals and objectives in a literacy curriculum. Instructional approaches respond to curriculum-related questions concerning content, methods, and materials in the teaching of reading. Chapter 2 discusses 7 different approaches to reading instruction. Please respond to both prompts below in your response:
Provide a 1-3 sentence description of each approach. Suppose the school system in which you teach has mandated that all first-grade teachers should use a language-experience approach. Your principal is responsible for supervising these teachers, but doesn’t really understand the approach. Prepare a checklist of “recommended practices” to guide the principal in evaluating whether the teaching strategies that she or he observes are consistent with the approach.
