Formative Years of Literacy Learning
My resource is an online article
titled, “Marie
Clay’s Research Focused On The Formative Years of Literacy Learning. She
studied changes in literacy behaviors of young children as they learned to read
and write continuous text over a period of time.”
This resource is about Marie Clay’s research
that led into her literacy processing theory. I found this resource interesting
because it discusses the behaviors of students as they learn to read and write
over time. The article breaks the behaviors down in a way that is easy to read
and with a good summary of the behavior in language that is easy for everyone
to understand. I like the points being made in this article because I believe
they resemble ideals and concepts that teacher should keep in mind while
teaching students to read.
I really like the point made about children
taking different paths to literacy learning because all students come from
different backgrounds and experiences. It is very important for educators to
remember that every student is unique and you cannot teach a class of 20
students all the exact same way. I also like the point made about literacy
learning changing over time as the student progresses and makes connections on
their own. I like that the article suggests teachers keep close observations
because they can make “helpful teaching moves”. In addition to the observations
being helpful to the student’s current teacher the notes and observations could
be passed on to the student’s next teacher so that they understand where the
student has progressed.
This article is relatable to Chapter One in
that I believe it really represents the building blocks and tips for teachers
to remember when teaching students to read and write.
