Oral and Silent Reading in Middle- and High School Classes: Multiple Perspectives

Thu, December 1, 3:00 to 4:30pm, Omni Nashville, Floor: Level 3, Mockingbird 3

Session Submission Type: Alternative Format Session

Abstract

Silent reading is the mode in which most reading occurs. And yet most opportunities to read in middle- and high-school classrooms appear to be either listening to or following along as either the teacher or a classmate reads orally. A panel of long-time literacy researchers and educators will reflect on the reasons for and implications of this pattern of oral and silent reading in middle- and high-school classes.
