ABSTRACT:
A method for teaching reading is provided, reflecting the understanding that reading is a process, operating primarily implicitly and guided by a neural network built specifically for that purpose. During the Excellent Reading component, the student must produce excellent reading—made possible by enhancing the predictability of the text through listening repeatedly to it interspersed with reading it silently. The student's brain is seduced into utilizing prediction of meaning as the major reading strategy, which allows it to develop implicitly-operating prediction and confirmation strategies that consistently yield excellent reading. During the Coached Reading component, as the student reads the text aloud from unfamiliar text, a tutor gives feedback designed to assist the brain realize its current reading strategies are not producing the desired results and the erroneously-built neural network needs remodeling. During the Independent Reading component, the brain experiments with the strategy ideas formulated as a result of experiencing the other components.
