  10. Bottom-Up Theories &Phonics-First Reading Instruction Words Sound / Symbol Relationships Meaning

  11. Top-Down ... * The words themselves do not have meaning. * Reading begins with the reader’s knowledge, not print. * The reader brings personal meaning to the text from background experiences.

  12. Top-Down or Concept-Driven Reading Process • Top-Down theorists: • Kenneth S. Goodman, (1967). Analysis of Oral Reading Miscues: Applied Psycholinguistics • Heckelman, (1969). A Neurological-Impress method of Remedial-Reading Instruction • Samuels, (1979). The Method of Repeated Reading. • Krashen, (1993). The Power of Reading: Insights from the Research.

  13. A psycholinguistic guessing game … • Read the following text [Page 6 of the Hand-Out Sheets]. A newspaper is better than a magazine. A sea-shore is a better place than a street. At first it is better to run than to walk. You may have to try several times. It takes some skill, but it’s easy to learn. Even young children can enjoy it. Once successful, complications are minimal. Birds seldom get too close. Rain, however, soaks in very fast. Too many people doing the same thing can also cause problems. One needs lots of room. If there are no complications, it can be very peaceful. A rock will serve as an anchor. If things break loose, however, you will not get a second chance. (Bransford and Johnson, 1972) What is the passage about? How do you know?

  14. As a fluent reader of English, you probably engaged in the following activities while you were reading: * Sampling … the text for clues to meaning. * Predicting …on the basis of the relationship between those clues and what you already know, what the meaning might be and what will come next. * Testing … this guess by further sampling of the text. * Confirming …your guess, or rejecting it and seeking another hypothesis about what the text means. • So, which is it …? • Riding a bicycle, flying a remote-controlled airplane, or flying a kite?

  15. Top-Down Theories Knowledge Experiences Emotions Reader’s Intentions Meaning

  16. Top-Down Tenets • Emphasis is on what prior knowledge and experiences the reader brings to the text. • Comprehension begins in the mind of the reader who possesses some ideas about the meaning of the text. • Progression is from the whole to part. Reader’s prior knowledge to semantic clues to syntactic clues to other more specific information.

  17. Top-Down Reading Process

  18. Sour, Sweet, Bitter, or Spicy or …? • Steak • Kiwi fruit • Chocolate • Oyster omelet • Honey • Bitter gourd • Lemon • Ice cream • Chili • Pepper • MSG (MSG = Monosodium Glutamate, 衛生) H/Os p.9

  21.

Answers are in the H/Os p.19

  22. Interactive Bottom-Up with Top-Down Reading Process • Interactive Bottom-Up with Top-Down Reading Theorists: • Goodman, (1967). Reading: A Psycholinguistic Guessing Game. • Rumelhart & Ortony, (1977). The Representation of Knowledge in Memory. • Stanovich, (1992). Speculations on the Causes and Consequences of Individual Dfferences in Early Reading Acquisition. CASE STUDY 2, H/Os p.13

  23. Interactive Thought Processes • Ah, … What do I already know about this topic or subject? • Let’s see, … If I skim and scan the article, will I find anything that I am familiar with? • Hm, … What are some nouns, verbs, and adjectives that I am familiar with? • Are these nouns, verbs and adjectives in phrases?

  24. A Cloze Reading Passage • What is a Cloze Procedure? • A cloze procedure is a technique in which words are deleted from a passage according to a word-count formula or various other criteria. • The passage is presented to students, who insert words as they read or hear to complete and construct meaning from the text. • This procedure can be used as a diagnostic reading assessment technique.

  25. A Cloze Reading Passage cont. • What is its purpose? It is used: • - to identify students' knowledge and understanding of the • reading process, • - to determine which cueing systems readers effectively employ to • construct meaning from print, - to assess the extent of students' vocabulary and knowledge of a subject, - to encourage students to monitor for meaning while reading, - to encourage students to think critically and analytically about text and content.

  26. Skimming & Scanning Speed Reading for Text / Content Comprehension Skimming: * Move your eyes along every line of print without stopping. * Register / remember what nouns, verbs, adjectives are seen. * Go back and read the first sentence and the last sentence. * Do both sentences have or mention the same focus or idea? Scanning: * Look for the nouns, verbs, or adjectives or time expressions that confirm a link between the first and last sentence.

  27. Interactive Bottom-Up with Top-Down Reading Processes • Model of the reading comprehension Process The reader processes the text in light of established schemata: Cognitive abilities, Background knowledge, Language knowledge, Cultural values GOT IT!Comprehension !!! Schema that matches the data The text provides new information to be processed: Grapho-phonic information, Syntactic info., Semantic info., Illustrations, Genre information

  28. Reading for Fluidity When to … pause, breathe, relax, look at [smile at] and speak to the audience.

  29. Pausing to breath, relax, read ahead and look-up Ikeda’s MSG was a huge commercial success, but some scientists did not believe umami[uː’mɑːmi] was really a fifth taste. They continued to believe that there were only four tastes. Then, in 2000, almost 100 years after Ikeda’s discovery, scientists found physical proof. The human tongue contains tiny receptors, or taste buds, which allow us to tell the difference between tastes. Scientists found that these receptors responded to glutamate in a special way. In fact, they found that the receptors responded in that way only to glutamate and not to any of the other four tastes. It turns out that the great French chef Escoffier was right. There are five tastes, not just four. Today, chefs in many parts of the world are using their knowledge of this fifth taste to create a new type of cuisine. The chefs are trying to use less salt and less butter. They are using foods with a lot of natural glutamate. The result is healthy food that is also very tasty. It’s delicious. It’s umami! Passage taken from: Read This! Fascinating Stories from the Content Areas. Unit 3, Chapter 8, p.60. By Daphne Mackey & Alice Savage Extra H/O

  30. A sample of a reading passage with pause indicators: Ikeda’s MSG / was a huge / commercial success, /// but /some scientists / did not believe /umami [uː'mɑːmi]/// was really / a fifth taste. /// They / continued to believe /// that there were / only four tastes. /// Then, /// in 2000, /// almost 100 years / after Ikeda’s discovery, /// scientists / found physical proof. /// The human tongue / contains / tiny receptors, /// or taste buds, /// which allow us / to tell the difference / between tastes. /// Scientists found / that these receptors /// responded to glutamate / in a special way. /// In fact, /// they found / that the receptors /// responded in that way / only to glutamate, /// and not to any / of the other / four tastes. /// It turns out /// that the great / French chef Escoffier / was right. /// There are / five tastes, /// not just four. /// Today, /// chefs / in many parts / of the world /// are using / their knowledge / of this fifth taste /// to create / a new type / of cuisine. /// The chefs / are trying / to use less salt /and less butter. /// They are / using foods / with a lot of / natural glutamate. /// The result is / healthy food / that is / also very tasty. /// It’s delicious. /// It’s umami! /// Sample copy in the H/Os p.17

  31. Pre-reading Preparatory, PreP, Procedure Langer (1981), who introduced this procedure, found that “the three levels of response elicited by the PreP not only help the students to comprehend a text, but greatly facilitate the students’ ability to recall the text after reading”. • Select a key word, phrase, or picture from the text which will stimulate group, • whole class discussion. (This is not the same as pre-teaching important words • from a text. The key word does no even have to appear in the text.) Ask the • students to make associations with this word, phrase or picture. List all their • associations on the white board. 2. Elicit from the students the reasons for the associations they have made. This reflecting step activates a network of additional associations; as they discuss their initial associations, students will be reminded of other related ideas. • Ask the students for additional associations which have come to mind during • the discussion and write these on the whiteboard as well.
