Middle School Teacher Discovers the Secret to Making Reading Fun
Summary:
Engaging students in reading is often challenging, but a teacher in Queens Village, N.Y., has introduced a creative approach that captures her sixth-grade students' interest while enhancing their reading skills.Article:
Many educators struggle to spark a love for reading among students, but Bertha Cuascut, a literacy coach at The Jean Nuzzi School, a public middle school in Queens Village, N.Y., has found a breakthrough method. Participating in a pilot program called Read-A-Movie, Cuascut is transforming her classroom experience.
The Read-A-Movie program, designed by SFK Media Specially for Kids Corp., combines reading with engaging movies to boost reading skills and comprehension. Central to this approach are SFK Media's Reading Movies, which use Action Captions?"a patented technology displaying dialogue as text on the screen in real-time, without interrupting the movie. Experts suggest that this method activates cognitive functions, naturally advancing both reading and spoken language development.
Cuascut observed remarkable improvements: "My students had no trouble recalling facts and explaining concepts," she noted. "They showed greater comprehension, improved vocabulary, and an increased eagerness to learn."
The program offers interactive DVDs featuring classics like "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," "Gulliver's Travels," and "The Trojan Horse." These resources include vocabulary exercises, quizzes, and additional activities, making learning both fun and effective.
Moreover, Cuascut found that her students related to the child actors in the films, which further engaged their attention. "Even students who were usually restless were captivated by the movies," she remarked.
This innovative approach not only enhances reading skills but also transforms the learning environment, making reading an enjoyable and dynamic activity for middle school students.
