Suppose the school system in which you teach has mandated that all first-grade teachers should use a language-experience approach. Your principal is responsible for supervising these teachers, but doesn't really understand the approach. Prepare a checklist of "recommended practices" and one of "practices to avoid" to guide the principal in evaluating whether the teaching strategies that she or he
observes are consistent with the approach.
What will be an ideal response?
Recommended practices could include language that is recorded for children to read, use of word banks, creative writing exercises, oral reading exercises, etc. Practices to avoid would include strategies that do not value or come from the child's language, such as the repetitive reading of a vocabulary-controlled book.
