Sounding out the words is not enough.
It is not enough to simply teach our children/adults HOW to read.
Far more reaching, we must also teach them to comprehend -and to understand, what they are reading.

I think most people comprehend, maybe the interpretation is just different.
ReplyDeleteUh oh... Methinks someone has made Anne mad...
ReplyDeleteBut Miss Annie, I always try to make sure that all my t's are crossed and my i's are dotted.

ReplyDeleteThat's a copout.
ReplyDeleteInterpretation and definition are two separate and UNrelated concepts.
ReplyDeleteNot really.
Just that all the people who are so ignorantly repetitious and obnoxious with MISSING THE POINT, then hiding behind it by twisting their OWN words...
Gawd. A wonder...
You forgot to dot your j's as well...
ReplyDeletehehehe
words have feelings too.
ReplyDelete" Far more reaching, we must also teach them to comprehend -and to understand, what they are reading "
ReplyDeleteAnd if there are any double meaning behind them
ReplyDeleteYou are right of course.
Watching a child learn a new word- Watching them comprehend it, is ALL about feelings.
The feeling within the sentences will always follow.

ReplyDeleteThe double entendre is actually learned before age ten; and just by listening to the conversations of others- whether that is of our parents, our teachers, or [gasp] our older siblings/cousins.
(It has to be learned young enough or none of us would ever survive puberty). hehehe
