Moniksca Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 as in he does not usually ready silently when he's doing his independent reading. Is this an issue? Should he be learning or able to do so? I just thought that if he was in school and taking a math test, he's have to be quiet, and tried to get him to read silently, but he was still muttering to himself. I figure you can read more quickly when you don't have to say out loud. Is this something we should work on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefragile7393 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Reading out loud can help impress in the mind what is on the written page a lot better then just reading silently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 If he's an auditory learner, then reading out loud helps him to learn or remember it. Another reason why PS is not the best for everyone. Auditory learners everywhere are being told to "shut up" and "learn it", which, if you think about it is an oxymoron. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moniksca Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Oh, he's not a auditory learner at all, he's a visual spatial learner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellyndria Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Oh, he's not a auditory learner at all, he's a visual spatial learner. I would call myself (mostly) a visual spatial learner, but even I would occasionally whisper/mutter out loud to myself if I was reading something difficult and having trouble remembering it for some reason.

Moniksca Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Okay, so it's not something I should fret over? I'm an auditory learner so it's been challenging teaching a VSL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
