27. READING
A complex cognitive process
of decoding symbols in order to
construct or derive meaning
(reading comprehension).
On the READING SIDE
28. READING
A means of language
acquisition, of communication,
and of sharing information and
ideas.
On the READING SIDE
29. READING
A complex interaction between the
text and the reader which is shaped
by the reader’s prior knowledge,
experiences, attitude, and language
community which is culturally and
socially situated.
On the READING SIDE
31. WRITING
The representation of language
in a textual medium through the
use of a set of signs or symbols
(known as a writing system).
On the WRITING SIDE
33. Easier - Writing is the act of
putting letters, symbols,
numbers, or words on paper
or a computer screen. Writing
is used to express and
explain ideas.
On the WRITING SIDE
34. Harder - Writing is the expression of
language in the form of letters,
symbols, or words. The primary
purpose of writing is communication.
People have used many tools for
writing including paint, pencils, pens,
typewriters, and computers. The
writing can be formed on the wall of a
cave, a piece of paper, or a computer
On the WRITING SIDE
35. The writing process includes
prewriting, composing, revising,
editing, and publishing. There
are many kinds of writing such
as expository, narrative,
descriptive, imaginative, and
persuasive. Literature is a type
of writing that includes poetry,
On the WRITING SIDE
36. Writing comprises three basic
tasks:
Handwriting
Spelling
Translation

37. Hayes (2012) noted:
“What we most commonly think of as
writing is the activity of producing text to
be read by other people, for example,
writing articles or school essays. I will
call this formal writing” (p. 18).
On the WRITING SIDE
38. Reading and writing development arguably depend
on the similar knowledge domains (Shanahan,
2006).
Content or domain knowledge
Metaknowledge about reading and writing
Knowledge of written language
Procedural knowledge
THE CONNECTION
39. Shanahan and Lomax (1986, 1989) compared three
theoretical models of the reading– writing
relationship
The interactive model
The reading- to- writing model

THE CONNECTION
43. By way of a SUMMARY
Accumulating research reveals the reciprocal
nature of the reading– writing connection.
Skills gained in one area have the potential to
support the development of the skills in the
other and vice versa (Abbot & Berninger,
1993; Fitzgerald & Shanahan, 2000; Shanahan,
2006).

Writing comprises three basic tasks: handwriting, spelling, and translation. Although each of these components of writing is critical to successful written expression, for this chapter we will focus on the component of translation. Translation— or written expression— can be defined as the production of connected text (e.g., sentences, paragraphs) in order to communicate an idea or thought, descriptive or procedural information, or more general knowledge. This process requires a marriage of many skills including the ability to comprehend structure (i.e., paragraph, sentence), content (i.e., the author’s thoughts), and purpose (i.e., the audience, the author’s intentions). Other cognitive functions (i.e., processes that rely on underlying brain function) are considered important to translation as well (e.g., language, executive functions; Hooper et al., 2013) and can serve to facilitate or hinder the translational process.
We agree with Hayes and will highlight this component of writing in the examination of written expression and the writing– reading connection.
Reading and writing development arguably depend on the similar knowledge domains (Shanahan, 2006). Content or domain knowledge about the topic being read or written about can greatly aid a reader’s and writer’s ability to successfully complete tasks because prior knowledge provides a starting point from which to make connections to new information. Metaknowledge about reading and writing— that is, knowledge about the purpose of reading and writing, which includes such features as the author’s purpose— may aid readers and writers in understanding the role of written language. Knowledge of written language— specifically areas such as phonological knowledge, syntactic knowledge, morphological knowledge, and semantic knowledge— can aid the reader in decoding and comprehending text and the writer in spelling words and conveying meaning by creating a comprehensible text. Finally, procedural knowledge, which includes “knowing how to use, access, and generate information during reading and writing” (Shanahan, 2006, p. 176), is critical to both reading and writing success.
There are a number of theoretical models proposed for understanding reading and writing connections. For example, Shanahan and Lomax (1986, 1989) compared three theoretical models of the reading– writing relationship: the interactive model, the reading- to- writing model, and the writing- to- reading model. The interactive model allows for a reciprocal connection between reading and writing skills, whereas the reading- to- writing and writing- to- reading models propose one- way directional connections. Testing these models revealed that the interactive model fit the reading and writing data better than did the reading- to- writing model for second grade and better than the writing-to-reading model for both second and fifth grades.
The Reading Side 9
Notably, the writing-to-reading model was a better fit for the data than the reading- to- writing model (Shanahan & Lomax, 1988). The authors note that “significant knowledge transfer takes place in both directions, even at relatively low levels of literacy attainment” (p. 208).

What possible problems are we going to encounter in the classroom? Then, share possible ways to address those problems
Now that we are already familiar with the CONTENT, what do you think are the possible problems that you can encounter in teaching the SUBJECT? After the presentation of the problems, ask the trainees how to solve the problems? Basically sharing time. That is why it is a garage sale. Share your ideas and let the others decide whether they will buy it.

Give them a copy of the gender differences thing. Ask them to share their experiences regarding it. You have to make sure that REACT on whatever they are reading. MAKE THE MATERIAL RELEVANT to their LIVES. MAKE THE MATERIAL controversial EVEN. When the material is related to their sphere of experience, our students tend to care more.

The question really is how do we teach them to read and write. This is the end of our session on defining reading and writing. In order to answer the question of how to teach our students to read and write, we move on to the next session which is discourse.
