Recommendations for reading instruction from Edutopia
I've been hearing about Edutopia on the radio for years, and right now I'm finding a bunch of cool resources on their site. This list of alternative strategies for reading instruction is awesome. The Crazy Professor Reading Game looks particularly fun! (start watching at 1:49 minutes) I'm teaching adults these days, and I'm curious which of these techniques will appeal more to adults than the others... I've seen Reader's Theater and Jig Saw activities be very successful. I'm looking forward to trying Radio Reading , FORI (Fluency Oriented Reading Instruction), Reciprocal Reading and others that are recommended in the above Edutopia article by Todd Finley .
