    LANGUAGE EXPERIENCE APPROACH (LEA)

    The Language Experience Approach (LEA) is an effective method to help


    promote literacy development. The basic premise of the method is that an effective
    way to help students learn to read is through their own words. Students relate an
    experience and a scribe (teacher, tutor, parent or more knowledgeable student) writes
    down what they say. The transcription is then used as a literacy source. For example,
    students retell group experiences such as a field trip, a science experiment, a story, or
    a project in which they all participated. Since LEA is based on personal experiences
    and are told by students, they provide highly meaningful and comprehensible reading
    materials. Applications of LEA can be used with many different kinds of activities
    and are applicable for all proficiency levels.

    Basal reader approach


    A basal reader is a collection of stories, poems and other text written at a specific reading
    level. Basal readers are used to teach children reading in a systematic way.

    Advantages of the Basal Reader Approach


    A sequenced curriculum of instruction is provided by grade level
    A continuous arrangement of instructional skills and concepts from
    grade to grade is supplied
    To save teachers time, a completely prepared set of stories,
    instructional directions and activities, practice materials, and
    assessment tools is available
    Student texts are arranged in ascending difficulty
    Reading skills are gradually introduced and systematically reviewed
    Teachers are provided lesson plans
    Students are exposed to a variety of literary genres
    Organization and structure of basal readers are helpful to beginning
    teachers just learning about the reading curriculum
    A variety of beginning reading texts are typically available, including
    trade books libraries, big books, leveled books, and decodable books
    Organization and structure of basal reading programs are reassuring to
    administrators that important reading skills are being taught

    Limitations of the Basal Reader Approach


    Some new decodable and leveled selections are dull and repetitious
    Cropping illustrations from original childrens trade books are less
    engaging
    Skill instruction is rarely applied or related to decoding the text or
    comprehending the selections content
    The lesson design often fails to relate one part of the lesson, such as
    vocabulary introduction, to subsequent parts of the lesson, such as
    comprehension discussion
    Stories often do not relate to students interests
    Format of hard bound thick book is not as appealing as trade books
    that are soft and thin
    Teachers editions seldom contain useful directions on how to
    teach/model reading comprehension strategies
    A rigid adherence to the basal reader leaves little room for teacher
    creativity and decision making
    Use of this approach has traditionally been associated with the use of
    round robin reading and ability grouping.
    Censorship by special interest groups leads to the selection of content
    that contain little real subject matter content, that deals with few reallife applications, or that presents little content that advocates ethical
    living in society
    Steps of the Basal Reading Lesson
    1. Activate prior knowledge and building background
    2. Skill lessons on phonics, spelling, vocabulary, and comprehension
    3. Previewing and predicting
    4. Setting the purpose
    5. Guiding the reading
    6. Confirm predictions
    7. Comprehension discussion questions
    8. Skill instruction and practice in oral language, writing, grammar,
    phonics, handwriting, comprehension, and fluency
    9. Enrichment ideas and projects
