WE SHOULD CREATE GOOD CONDITIONS
FOR DEVELOPMENT

BOTTOM UP APPROACH
Bottom-up processing, so called because it focuses on developing the basic skill of matching sounds with the letters, syllables, and words written on a page.
Progressing from small or subordinate unit or units to a larger or more important unit, just as in the case of planting seeds.
It is an approach to a problem that begins with details and works up to the highest conceptual level.

TD AND BU APPROACH TO TEACHING READING
„The writers encodes thought as language and the reader decodes language as thought.“
(Kenneth Goodman, 1988)
The purpose for reading a text: Person´s interest Academic duty Motivational purpose
Teachers should help their students to adopt the new purpose as their own = to motivate students to read for pleasure
The context = create a scenario

THE PHASES OF READING COMPREHENSION
Pre-reading
While reading
Post reading

PRE-READING (TOP DOWN APPROACH)
Brainstorming
Activate previous knowledge of the topic Think, write, discuss Key vocabulary (associations) Structure, outline, draft Prediction
How new information fits with the previous knowledge
Providing information to the teacher about students knowledge
Bridging student´s knowledge with text content
