Songs can be a useful tool in teaching young language learners. They provide variety, help improve listening skills and pronunciation, and aid in vocabulary acquisition. Songs also make learning enjoyable and help create a relaxed classroom environment. However, teachers must select songs carefully to match the target language structures and avoid songs with complex or unfamiliar language. While fun, songs alone are not enough for communication and must be supplemented with other activities.

How the brain learns to readOzella Brundidge

1) Learning to read activates areas in the occipital and fusiform gyri that are normally used for visual processing. This leads to the development of the visual word form area which processes letters and words. 2) Reading engagement recruits a large left hemisphere network including frontal, temporoparietal, and occipitotemporal regions that is similar between children and adults. 3) Specific brain regions including Broca's area, the fusiform gyrus, and visual cortex undergo changes when learning to read to support reading, writing, spelling and language comprehension.

Three Reading ModelsAntonette A.

Theories in reading instruction TOP-DOWN READING MODEL Emphasizes what the reader brings to the text Says reading is driven by meaning Proceeds from whole to part Views from some researchers 1. Frank Smith – Reading is not decoding written language to spoken language 2. reading is a matter of bringing meaning to print FEATURES OF TOP-DOWN APPROACH Readers can comprehend a selection even though they do not recognize each word. Readers should use meaning and grammatical cues to identify unrecognized words. Reading for meaning is the primary objective of reading, rather than mastery of letters, letters/sound relationships and words. FEATURES OF TOP-DOWN APPROACH Reading requires the use of meaning activities than the mastery of series of word- recognition skills. The primary focus of instruction should be the reading of sentences, paragraphs, and whole selections The most important aspect about reading is the amount and kind of information gained through reading. BOTTOM UP Emphasizes a single direction Emphasizes the written or printed texts Part to whole model Reading is driven by a process that results in meaning PROPONENTS OF THE BOTTOM UP Flesch 1955 Gough 1985 FEATURES OF BOTTOM-UP Believes the reader needs to: Identify letter features Link these features to recognize letters Combine letter to recognize spelling patterns Link spelling patterns to recognize words Proceed to sentence, paragraph, and text- level processing INTERACTIVE READING MODEL It recognizes the interaction of bottom-up and top-down processes simultaneously throughout the reading process. Reading as an active process that depends on reader characteristics, the text, and the reading situation (Rumelhart, 1985) Attempts to combine the valid insights of bottom-up and top-down models.

ScanningEnglish TVTC

Scanning is a fast reading technique where the reader moves their eyes quickly over a text to find specific information rather than reading every word. When scanning, the reader focuses only on words that will help answer their question or find the needed information in sources like lists, ads, articles, and web pages. Exercises can help readers learn to scan more efficiently by moving their eyes across the page more quickly to recognize words faster and improve comprehension. Scanning is a useful skill that can help people find information faster in their everyday lives, at school, and at work.
