Title: “Literacy” vs. “Reading”: 3 Questions to Consider This Fall
Body:
From: http://blog.tesol.org/literacy-vs-reading-3-questions-to-consider-this-fall/
This blog post discusses education's shift in focus from "reading" to "literacy". The author defines “literacy” as making sense of words on paper or on a screen and as knowing how to do things that are highly valued in a community of practice. Teachers are encouraged to recognize these communities of practice and the pre-existing ways of knowing that their learners bring with them to class. This blog post would be helpful for any teachers who plan to teach reading skills or community-specific practices related to language.
