A Dialogic Approach to Understanding Reading celebrates the
sophisticated and dynamic discussions that primary-aged children
have as they talk together to make meaning from a variety of texts,
and it highlights the potential for talk between readers as a tool
for critical and creative thinking. It proposes a new dialogic
theory of reading comprehension which incorporates multi-modal
media, and adds further weight to the argument that talk as a tool
for learning should form a central part of primary classroom
learning and teaching.
The book explores:
- The language of co-construction how children build meanings
together
- Thinking together children s creative response to text
- The dialogic transaction between text and readers
- The use of language as a tool for creating a social harmony
between readers
This significant work is aimed at educational lecturers,
researchers and students who want to explore an expanded notion of
reading comprehension in the 21st century realising how
opportunities for children thinking creatively together might
transform the potential for learning in the classroom. It provides
a framework for analysing co-constructive talk with suggestions for
promoting children s critical and creative thinking."
