The Engaged Reader

The Engaged Reader
The foundational learning blocks in this rapidly evolving and advancing technological era are STILL READING, WRITING AND ARITHMETIC. As children’s screen time increase globally, they are becoming more dependent on a computerized device to THINK for them.

The educational system requires a child to read, write, and do mathematical concepts using his/her BRAIN, and not rely solely on a computer-generated gadget or software. Similarly, Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems have to be programmed by humans who THINK, INVENT and then IMPLEMENT. Hence, this book reflects/supports improving Reading through the use of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) Education.
Literacy skills WILL improve as this holistic approach will provide practice in key areas such as:

• Consonant blends
• Consonant digraphs
• Listening Comprehension
• Fostering of Reading Comprehension Skills – Critical/Logical thinking skills through the answering of literal, inferential and evaluative questions
• Development in Social Skills
• The Reader’s Theatre
• Visual and Media Literacy
• Formative Assessments

• Writing paragraphs/essays
• Spelling
• Syllabication
• Sight Word Activities/Literacy Games
• Promoting Research Skills- Technology integration
• Drawing
• Oral Presentations
