promising results in older ages or
just lower primary students?

How can teaching children to read

be affected by defamiliarisation?
We teach children to make meaning
in context yet defamiliarisation asks
us to see words in unfamiliar and
different contexts than would be
known to children.

Synopsis:
Due to Marys absence in week 5, the lecture on poetry moved to later in the semester leaving
this week be a combination of different topics. The readings give insight to the connection
between oral language development and poetry whereby we use both areas of literacy to teach
each other. The tutorial on Caf and the Daily 5 showed how a balanced, multi-levelled approach
is effective in teaching children literacy skills.
