Synopsis
Excerpt from Action Reading: A Supplementary Method of Teaching, Beginners to Read
Action reading, so called, is a system for the earliest stage of learning to read. Its chief virtue lies in the fact that it easily secures intense attention, and intensity of attention is a necessary condition and measure of the degree of any kind of learning. As a method, it is not intended as a substitute for the usual primer-methods - phonics, word or sen tence learning, etc. - but it is a system to accompany them, offering the relief of change. It is especially adapted for pupils who are just entering school and are finding their energies for action curbed by the requirements of the school to sit still. By easily securing their attention and by offering opportunity for movements, it is a suitable exercise for beginners. Secondly, it will be found especially adapted for foreign children who do not understand English, and for backward pupils whose attention it is usually difficult to secure. The commands are written upon the board for class action, and these foreign or backward children will first imitate their fellows, but gradually will learn to associate a given act with its written command. For successful use of this system, it is essential that the teacher should have a clear comprehension of the dis tinction in principle between it and the other methods of teaching read ing. When a child comes to school, he already has an oral language. The usual methods proceed to translate the new written language into the forms of spoken language by which the pupil understands. Action reading passes directly from the written language to the understanding. It is not translation into oral language.

Action Reading: A Supplementary Method of Teaching, Beginners to Read
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an instructional method for beginning readers by employing a system of physical actions to introduce written or printed commands. This "action reading" method is distinct from conventional primers and is designed as a supplementary tool, especially suitable for students who are new to the classroom environment or non-native English speakers. The method progresses through three stages: associating the written command with a specific action, recognizing the individual words of the command, and comprehending the meaning of the sentences. The author emphasizes that this method is not intended to replace existing primer methods but rather to provide an alternative approach that can enhance student engagement and comprehension. The book's exercises are carefully structured to ensure constant repetition and introduce new commands one at a time, allowing students to build a strong foundation in both the physical and linguistic aspects of reading. By engaging students' senses and promoting active participation, this method aims to foster a deeper understanding of written language and facilitate the transition to more traditional reading instruction. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780259585466_0
