They are taught how to sound out the sounds but not the meanings. So it *looks* like they can read. Your vocational approach reminds me of Freire's pedagogy--acquiring literacy in the context of one's life, from the things that matter. Oh, but that would be too dangerous to connect what matters to our students to what we teach. Don't you think?Shoptalkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15496412142744740278noreply@blogger.com
