Book excerpt: "Focussing on both traditional and modern media (theatre, fiction, poetry, graphic art, cinema), the essays of Reading Images and Seeing Words show how it is according to signifying codes (rhetoric, poetics, metaphor), that meaning and knowledge are produced. Not the least value of this collection is the insight it gives into the multiple models of word / image interaction and the rich ambiguity of the tautological and oxymoronic relations they embody."--BOOK JACKET.

This book was released on 1999-03-15 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this practical guide to teaching beginning language learners of all ages, Calhoun encourages us to begin where the learners begin--with their developed listening and speaking vocabularies and other accumulated knowledge about the world. Engage students in shaking words out of a picture--words from their speaking vocabularies--to begin the process of building their reading and writing skills. Use the picture word inductive model (PWIM) to teach several skills simultaneously, beginning with the mechanics of forming letters to hearing and identifying the phonetic components of language, to classifying words and sentences, through forming paragraphs and stories based on observation. Built into the PWIM is the structure required to assess the needs and understandings of your students immediately, adjust the lesson in response, and to use explicit instruction and inductive activities. Individual, small-group, and large-group activities are inherent to the model and flow naturally as the teacher arranges instruction according to the 10 steps of the PWIM. Students and teachers move through the model and work on developing skills and abilities in reading, writing, listening, and comprehension as tools for thinking, learning, and sharing ideas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to Read with Images: An Introduction Learn to Read with Images is a creative educational resource designed to make reading easier and more visually engaging. The philosophy is simple, effective, and suitable for learners of any age. This self-paced learning and teaching tool is highly convenient for use at home or in the classroom. It is targeted at beginner readers and is also beneficial to ESL and visual learners who struggle with literacy and breaking down phonics patterns. Progressive Reading Levels Learn to Read with Images is the key to unlocking each child's reading potential. There are six levels, each containing four stories that progressively increase in difficulty. Each level uses rhyme, sentence patterns, and elements of compound learning. The colorful, age-appropriate 'learning images' help early readers 'see' the words so they can connect the image to a word, and then easily decode (sound them out). By engaging more deeply with the content, readers can make quick connections, which aid significantly with vocabulary retention and memorization. How Does Learn to Read with Images Work? Learn to Read with Images is a simple, two-part learning process, as shown below. - The upper half of each page tells a story and provides a visual environment for children to use their imagination. - The bottom half of each page uses 'learning images' to represent the words in the story and helps with the pronunciation of more complex words. Sight words that appear frequently are represented as 'text on a cloud' to help the students memorize words when it's time to read without the aid of the 'learning images.' This creative approach helps keep children interested so they can concentrate on learning vocabulary and fluency. How Can You Use Learn to Read with Images? It's as easy as 1-2-3! 1) As with any story, begin by reading to children, using the illustrations to help tell the story and spark their imagination. 2) Point to the 'learning images' as you pronounce each word. It is important that children learn to point to the words too, so urge them to point along with you as soon as possible. Help cement their recognition of the 'learning images' by repeatedly asking what it says. 3) Take time between pages to develop recognition of the 'learning images' by asking children to point at particular words and pronounce them. While they are not yet reading the written word, this is the first step in learning to read, which is exciting for everyone! How Can Readers Build Confidence? Begin with an easy 'learning image', like an eye. Keep in mind that 'learning images' are a visual tool to help make a connection between the image, its pronunciation, and the written form of the word. For example, the image of an eye is used to phonetically represent the word 'I', as well as 'eye', the actual word itself. These regular prompts are important to ensure that children are learning to recognize the 'learning images' and not just memorizing words or sentences. How Do You Know Readers Are Ready for the Next Level of Learn to Read with Images? Once readers can correctly identify a word and its connection to the 'learning image', they are ready for the next level of Learn to Read with Images. There are several sight words in the text. For younger children, it is recommended to count the number of words in the text (upper half of the page) and do the same for the 'learning images' (bottom half of the page). This is a useful prompt to remind children that not all words in the text are connected to a 'learning image', and therefore, they must read from memory. As children move up the levels, they will recognize and strengthen their recognition of words, making them more

Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered how you can find out more about a word: Where did it come from? How has its meaning altered? How can it be pronounced? What is its relationship to other words? Language is not fixed, but is an evolutionary process: words develop and change, in meaning, association, and pronunciation, as well as in many other ways. Exploring the routes taken by the words we choose to investigate leads us on fascinating journeys. How to Read a Word, written by the noted lexicographer Elizabeth Knowles, shows us how we might delve into the origins, associations, and evolution of words, and is primarily concerned with the following two points: what questions can be asked about a word? And how can they be answered? Utilising the unrivalled resources and the language-monitoring programs of the Oxford English Dictionary, the book leads you through the various stages of investigation into the myriad aspects of individual words, from etymology to date of first use and regional distribution, and from spelling and pronunciation to shifts in meaning. Supported by many examples of investigation into specific words, and featuring a full index, a wide selection of useful online resources, and reams of useful tips for avoiding common pitfalls, it is both a thought-provoking and practical handbook, providing readers with the essential tools to confidently interrogate the words by which they are surrounded. How to Read a Word is the perfect gift for anyone who is fascinated by the development and intricacies of the English language.
