TESTING TRAUMA STUDENTS BECOME AFRAID TO TRY AFRAID TO LOSE Many students avoid trying to test because of past failures with the task. Previous attempts to pronounce phonetically resulted in too many errors per sentence. It is bad enough to fail. It is worse when you instantly know you failed. It is worse when you are constantly corrected. It may be worse if you misunderstand the meaning. Mispronouncing the word changes the meaning of the word. This changes the phrase or sentence. The phrase no longer fits the subject and comprehension becomes impossible. The student learns to avoid the confusing task. PETERSON TEST TAKING SOLUTION It's much better to let a recording produce the correct pronunciation. Then you have the right model and with repetition can learn it's uses and meanings. READING IS EASY IF YOU HAVE PRACTICED THE SOUNDS. READING IS HARD IF YOU CAN'T MATCH THE FAMILIAR SOUNDS WITH THE CHARACTERS. ------------------------ PRONUNCIATION FAILURE Stop pronunciation failure. Limit the "testing trauma". IMPORTANT STEPS Redefine beginning "reading" to: 1. Chorusing with the parent or teacher. 2. Copying or tracing the phrases to match the sounds. 3. Advanced readers use 555 listening to recordings. ------------------------ Failure to test is a traumatic experience. Students that fail at reading and become very difficult if not impossible to teach. Peterson reading allows immediate participation and immediate success. Students immediately understand the history and science subjects being pronounced. Inclusion or joining a group is very important to children. ---------------------------- TESTING SUCCESSES TESTING FAILURES www.speedlearning.net Carefully designed to accomplish your goals. Each step has a reason and a purpose Simultaneous processing saves time. LEARNING WITH OUR RECORDINGS AND MEMORY PATTERNS IS FAST. Recordings set the listening pace. You can learn to make notes while listening. Recordings are usually 150 to 200 words per minute. Making memory patterns at the same time can increase your effective speed to 300 to 400 WPM. REHEARSAL FOR WRITING Tellbacks help your thinking. 99.9% of readers good and bad can learn to tellback from their notes. This reorganization process is a very effective rehearsal for writing. ------------------------------------- TELLBACKS FORCE MIND ACCOUNTABILITY MAKE YOUR MIND ACCOUNTABLE WITH TELLBACKS Teachers cannot stay on task because they are: Diverted off task by questions Because of answering questions 1. Recordings at 200 WPM are much faster than silent reading with many regressions and distractions. 2. Students can cover twice the number of texts in the same class time. One plus one of the same subject makes synergistic three. Students keep adding new information to their knowledge base. ---------------------------------- SUPPLEMENTAL READING Most teachers want their students to do supplemental reading to write homework and research papers. A very small percentage of students do the above. An unrealized dream. An unrealistic dream. We make sure the supplemental materials are covered in class. Including them in class doubles the quality of education. Leaving them out of the curriculum is half the education. Leaving out writing in quantity is an unforgivable crime. Students will do the writing when they can do most of it in class. 1. During the recorded input 2. During their partner's tellback 3. After they have an oral rehearsal 4. When they have an uninterrupted 5 minutes for the fast write TEACHERS Too many papers to grade? Don't want to grade papers 4 more hours each night? It is impossible to read much less correct all the papers. Our teachers must rely on listening to tellbacks to measure student progress. 333 teachers are multiprocessing. Several tasks at the same time. Recordings allow listening pronunciation practice with inner speech auditory memory. MIND REHEARSALS BEFORE WRITING Students continually organize and re-organize as they create the memory patterns or memory triggers. Students are ready for extemporaneous speech as soon as the input ends. |
