Creative Reading: A Transformative Education ApproachAlma Flor Ada & F. Isabel Campoywww.isabelcampoy.com www.almaflorada.com www.delsolbook.comCopyright © 2012 by American Reading Company®

Effective ReadingA Transformative Education Approach

When I read, I ask:

DescriptionWhat is the author telling me?What? When? Where? Who? Why?

Personal Interpretation

How do I feel about this? Have I had experiences similar or different to these ones?

Critical/ Multicultural/

Anti-Bias Analysis

Is what happened right (fair, kind, moral, appropriate)?Who benefits (suffers) in a situation like this?Has anyone been excluded from this text? Who is left out? Why?Does this text allow for human diversity?

Creative/ Transformation

What will I take away from this experience?What might I do in a situation like the one in the text?How can I improve my life/conditions/relations?

Reading is more than a source of information and entertainment. It is an empowering act.

Rigor and AccountabilityThrough regular conferences, teachers outline and track a course of remediation, acceleration, or maintenance for each bilingual student. Teachers score students on any standards they have mastered, allowing schools to track rate of reading growth for every student in every classroom.

Real-Time Skill AssessmentThe eENIL is a comprehensive online tool that allows teachers to measure student achievement using the CCSS while reflecting the different developmental stages specific to learning to read in Spanish.

Teachers identify the skills that each student has mastered and which ones he/she needs to do next.

Change Daily Instruction with the Power of Real-Time Skill Assessment

American Reading Company has the most comprehensive collection of books available for schools to ensure a successful reading lifestyle for every student, regardless of native language or current achievement level.
