do the teaching. You do. But, they sure help
create a wonderful and important dialogue between
you and your students. This dialogue, in turn, helps
make your classroom ripe for teachable moments, which
ultimately lead to understanding. Sight-Based Instruction
greatly enhances the likelihood that your students
will understand even the most difficult concepts;
it also greatly enhances the likelihood that they
will remember these concepts. The printed word is
no longer saddled with the main burden of conveying
the meaning behind the text message.
Its a good thing too. Nine out of 10 people
are primarily visual-spatial/auditory learners, which
means that in your class of 25 students, 22 (and a
half) of them learn best through the highly effective
combination of sight and sound. Wouldn't it be nice
to work with a delightfully personable publisher like
ScratchCat who understands how to make programs that
appeal to the majority of your students? We hope you
think so.
And, what
do we really think about reading?
