Do you need to read to make?

drlucyrogers
drlucyrogers over 10 years ago

Ben Rogers (@benrogersedu) is interested in how children are taught to read technical and science stuff.


He has tweeted:


Does reading make a better maker? Please help me help young makers by completing a 5min survey.


Thanks! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18l8QnHVQut9WT6Qox46MJCwn9OrVQ3pzkjvne-HHXsI/viewform


If you could do the survey and pass it on to other makers, we'd appreciate it.


Thanks


Lucy

    Sorry to hear you feel that way about this project.

     

    Ben is a Primary School teacher, looking for ways to help prepare students to become science and technology literate.

     

    He was a Secondary school science teacher and couldn't understand why some kids who did well in English wouldn't read the science homework questions.

     

    Here's his blog about it - on the Royal Society of Chemistry's website :http://www.rsc.org/blogs/eic/2015/09/reading-lessons-science-texts

    Hi Petri,

    I would need more information and explanation from you to understand your position. This seems to me to be a question of participate or don't participate but no need to be negative.

    John

    That was my assessment.

    That's exactly the problem. Us adults sometimes cannot comprehend how teen brains work.
