The Four
Blocks—Guided Reading, Self-Selected Reading,
Writing, and Working with Words—represent four
different approaches to teaching children to read.
Daily instruction in all Four Blocks provides numerous
and varied opportunities for all children to learn
to read and write. Doing all Four Blocks acknowledges
that children do not all learn in the same way and
provides substantial instruction to support whatever
learning personality a child has.
这是一个帮助孩子流利阅读,写作和拼写的教学模型。 模型由四个部分组成。 绿色的为指导阅读, 由教师带领一个小组进行阅读知道;红色的为自选阅读, 由孩子自由选择阅读的材料, 练习学到的阅读技巧; 蓝色的是拼读和词汇学习, 以保证孩子能确切掌握高频词,拼读技巧和拼写技巧; 黄色的写作部分, 通过一些列的写作活动,包括草稿,编辑,配图,到最后的发表, 另一个组成部分是让孩子自己扮演作家的角色,以及和其他孩子的写作作品之间的互动,培养起孩子的写作能力。
Guided ReadingIn Guided Reading,
teachers choose material for children to read
and a purpose for reading, and then guide
them to use reading strategies needed for
that material and that purpose. Teachers provide
guidance in a variety of whole class, small
group, and partner formats.
Self-Selected ReadingChildren who have been read to regularly and who
have time each day to read books will become readers.
Readers are not just people who CAN read—readers
are people who DO read! In years gone by, the Self-Selected
Reading Block was usually done at home! For most
children, this is no longer true. Our Self-Selected
Reading Block ensures that all children experience
daily read-alouds and time for reading books of
their choice and on their own level.
WritingThe Writing Block includes a mini-lesson
that provides children with a model of what writers
do. During the block, children engage in various
writing activities from starting a new piece, finishing
a piece, revising, editing, or illustrating. Another
component includes conferences that lead to a final
published piece. In the Author's Chair, children
share their writing and respond to each other's
writing at various stages in its development.
Working with WordsThe
purpose of this block is to ensure that children
read, spell, and use high-frequency words correctly,
and that they learn the patterns necessary for decoding
and spelling. 摘自 http://www.four-blocks.com/index.htm
