Children's Literacy: Contexts for Meaningful Learning

By Shane Templeton

Templeton' s authentic reading/integrated literacy approach is based on five premises: 1) the construction of meaning underlies all reading activity, 2) all literacy instruction takes place in context, 3) literacy instruction occurs with diverse students in a diverse society, 4) a child' s natural development provides teachers with essential background for instructional decisions, and 5) literacy instruction should be based on authentic reading.
