This document discusses various theories of reading instruction. It describes early theories from Thorndike, Gray, and Goodman that viewed reading as a developmental process involving word perception, comprehension, reaction, and synthesis. Later psycholinguistic theories proposed reading involves using graphophonic, syntactic, and semantic cueing systems simultaneously. The interactive and transactional theories of the late 20th century proposed reading as an interactive process where the reader interacts with text and prior knowledge. The document also discusses principles of balanced reading instruction incorporating skills, strategies, literature, and writing.
Developmental Reading Program
Is a systematic instruction in reading skills and strategies.
Aims:
Generate a positive attitude towards reading process through changing reading habits,
Change reading weakness into strengths,
Let students become aware of their learning techniques which can enable any person, student, or other wise,
Become more successful in real life-learning situations.
“A reading program in which students who are able readers continue to be taught reading skills in a sequential program of instruction, designed to reinforce and extend the skills and appreciations acquired in the previous years, and develop new skills as they are needed.”

Developmental Reading Behaviors
Components of a Balanced Literacy Program
Read Aloud
The teacher or another person reads aloud to the student. The teacher has the primary responsibility; the students are the attentive observers. The teacher models fluency and expression in reading. The activity promotes literature enjoyment.
Shared Reading
The teacher will share the responsibility of reading with the students. The teachers still has the primary responsibility for reading, but the students may have their own copy. Students take a more active role
Guided Reading
The heart of instructional reading program.
The bridge between shared reading and independent reading
Guide, observer monitor, responder, and questioner
Determining a student’s developmental stage in reading is important for success.
Different cueing systems
Independent Reading
Students choose what they want to read according to what their interests.
The teacher support, observe, and respond t their efforts.
Writing Aloud
Models his thinking, planning, questioning, drafting and revising.
The teacher literally writes aloud and the students observe.
But should not model the entire writing.
Shared Writing
Demonstrated in collaboration with the students.
Guided Writing
Guides the students towards the creation of their own writing through questioning and clarifying.
Independent Writing
The students writes independently and implement that which they have observed and experienced.
Theories in reading instruction
TOP-DOWN READING MODEL
Emphasizes what the reader brings to the text
Says reading is driven by meaning
Proceeds from whole to part
Views from some researchers
1. Frank Smith – Reading is not decoding written language to spoken language
2. reading is a matter of bringing meaning to print
FEATURES OF TOP-DOWN APPROACH
Readers can comprehend a selection even though they do not recognize each word.
Readers should use meaning and grammatical cues to identify unrecognized words.
Reading for meaning is the primary objective of reading, rather than mastery of letters, letters/sound relationships and words.
FEATURES OF TOP-DOWN APPROACH
Reading requires the use of meaning activities than the mastery of series of word- recognition skills.
The primary focus of instruction should be the reading of sentences, paragraphs, and whole selections
The most important aspect about reading is the amount and kind of information gained through reading.
BOTTOM UP
Emphasizes a single direction
Emphasizes the written or printed texts
Part to whole model
Reading is driven by a process that results in meaning
PROPONENTS OF THE BOTTOM UP
Flesch 1955
Gough 1985
FEATURES OF BOTTOM-UP
Believes the reader needs to:
Identify letter features
Link these features to recognize letters
Combine letter to recognize spelling patterns
Link spelling patterns to recognize words
Proceed to sentence, paragraph, and text- level processing
INTERACTIVE READING MODEL
It recognizes the interaction of bottom-up and top-down processes simultaneously throughout the reading process.
Reading as an active process that depends on reader characteristics, the text, and the reading situation (Rumelhart, 1985)
Attempts to combine the valid insights of bottom-up and top-down models.

Water pollution is the introduction of chemical, physical or biological material into fresh or oceans waters that degrade the quality of water and affects the organism living in it. This process ranges from simple addition of dissolved or suspended solids that discharge the most insidious and persistent toxic pollutants (such as non-biodegradable, bio-accumulated, chemical compounds, pesticides and heavy metals).
INTRODUCTION:
Whenever two or more people come together with a shared purpose, they form a culture with its own written and unwritten rules for behavior. Our families, workplaces, and communities all have cultures. These cultures have a tremendous, though rarely recognized, impact upon our behavior as individuals.
Each cultural environment provides a set of standards to which we must adapt. Our behavioral patterns change dramatically from one cultural context to another. We are expected to behave in accordance with our cultures, but if we choose not to go along, we must be prepared for the consequences. When we select goals for ourselves that violate the culture, we must either change the culture or endure a never- ending struggle.
Changes in culture that are initiated by a group need cultural support of the members of the group, or else they will not last long. A supportive cultural environment is needed for a lasting change.

It will help to fulfill the emerging institutional vision of MGC HIGH as “the cutting edge science technology university that engages students in the world now.”
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. WHY TEACH THEORY
GUTKNECHT and KEENAN (1978)
stated that “competent reading instructors were
able to do more than just follow explicit directions in
reading materials.”
THORNDIKE (1920)
postulated that reading is reasoning
WILLIAM S. GRAY (1939)
believed that reading consisted of four
hierarchical steps or skills.
3. VIEWING READING AS
DEVELOPMENTAL:
Word perception
Comprehension
Reaction
Synthesis
4. GOODMAN and SMITH (1978)
reported on research being conducted that had as
its foundation on the observation of children as they
learned language and reading.
THE THREE CUING SYSTEMS WERE
IDENTIFIED AS:
The Grapho-phonemic or sound symbol system
The Syntactic or word order system
Semantic or meaning based system
5. These psycholinguistic theorists
postulated that reading took place in the
reader’s head where they sampled the print
and made predictions about what the author
would say next.
The PROFICIENT READER was
defined by the psycholinguists as the reader
who sampled from all three cuing systems
simultaneously and predicted more accurately
what the author was saying.
6. ADVANTAGES OF THESE THEORIES:
they would be able to organize instruction based on the
systems that reader use to read
they should be able to more quickly spot the place at which
the reading process broke down and then be able to provide the
necessary instruction
if instruction is to be individual at a point of need, teachers
must develop skills that will empower them to be careful and
knowledgeable observers of children and their literary growth
if reading and the language arts are truly seen as intertwined
communication skills, then teachers must be able to prepare
instruction that echoes that language and reading are interactive
processes
7. GRAYS’ MODEL OF THE READING
PROCESS
Gray’s model also called a process model for its
attempt to explain what goes on in the reader’s head
while reading. It became the forerunner of the
underlying philosophy of the first basal readers.
Looking at the model, teacher must recognize that until
the child is able to visually discriminate likenesses and
differences and then be able to associate those
perceptions into what the word is, they cannot get to
meaning.
8. The fallacy lies in making early reading
programs training grounds for such discrimination
skills as has been done in the past. Such
programs spent countless valuable hours in
circling on a workbook page the object s that are
alike or different. This is totally artificial and does
not lead to real reading. Helping children to see
the words that are connected to meaningful
activities produces greater reading achievements.
Children will construct develop their own
discrimination skills as they read, write and print
words and pictures.
9. Being unaware of a pupil’s overall reaction
to the print may skew decisions that the teacher
may make. This would be particularly true if the
teacher uses only one sample day for evaluation
and ignores the overall view
SYNTHESIS
such evidence points to the step, when
pupils begin to commit to use their comprehension
and reactions to a word, sentence or larger piece
then they have truly read and interacted with the
print.
10. PSYCHOLINGUISTIC READING MODEL
The Psycholinguistic Model of Reading
is the marriage of two disciplines;
psychology the study of how the mind
works and linguistic the study of language
and how it develops.
11. USING RESEARCH FROM BOTH SCHOOLS OF
THOUGHT HAS LED TO THE FOLLOWING
CONCLUSIONS:
Good readers construct a scenario as they read and
predict what the author will say.
Good readers use all three cuing systems
simultaneously without mediation.
The task of reading is more difficult than that of the
writing of the printed piece, because the reader must
assign the appropriate meaning to the passage.
12.
There is no reading without comprehension.
Readers who do not understand the test and cannot
discuss or react to the text have not read the text even
if they have called (pronounced) every word correctly.
Good readers bring a wealth of world knowledge
as well as language knowledge to the printed page.
Reading is an active process where readers
contribute as much if not more than the author.
13. FRANK SMITH (1973)
stated that reading as a process of
communication transfers information from a
“transmitter” to a receiver. It is an active process
whereby the receiver , who is defined as the reader,
contributes to the transfer by decoding the printed
symbols and assigning the intended meaning of
the transmitter, defined by Smith as the author.
GOODMAN (1976)
defined reading as a psycholinguistic
guessing game where the reader reconstructs a
message which has been encoded by an author as
a graphic display.
14. INTERACTIVE READING THEORIES
DURKIN (1992)
calls the common sense approach to teaching
reading.
defining reading as an interactive activity where
the reader samples from the text, language knowledge,
background of experiences and their own schema for
a topic or narrative leads educators to teach in
interactive manners. Such a theory accepts that
reading involves many levels of analysis at the same
time but a different levels. These varying levels
include skills, reasoning, decoding and hypothesis
generation, confirmation or rejection.
15. Interactive theory hold that reading is an
active process in which to comprehend, the
reader interacts with a multitude of factors related
to himself, the text being read, and the context the
reading takes place.
16. PRINCIPLES OF READING INSTRUCTION:
Reading and writing are language processes.
Literacy learning is a developmental process.
Reading and writing are interrelated and interactive
processes and literary instruction should
Always capitalize on this relationship.
Early in the reading process, the learner must acquire
ways of recognizing words independently.
The use of quality literature should be an integral part of
literacy instruction throughout the school curriculum.
Literacy instruction needs to be an integral component
in all content areas.
Teachers need to foster learner’s abilities to reason and
critically evaluate written ideas.
17.
Proper literacy instruction depends on the ongoing
assessment of each learner’s reading strengths and
weaknesses.
Any given technique is likely to work better with some
learners than with others.
Motivation contributes to the development of literacy.
The key to successful literacy instruction is the teacher
not the material or the technique
Teacher must provide for the needs of exceptional
children in regular classroom literacy instruction.
Teacher must be able to create, manage, and maintain an
environment conducive to learning.
Teachers of literacy must forge partnerships with the
home and community to promote reading growth.
18. BALANCED READING APPROACHES
While balance reading programs may look
different in various classrooms or school districts,
there are common elements that they embody.
TOMPKINS list these as:
Literacy is viewed comprehensively, as involving
both reading and writing.
Literature is at the heart of the programs.
Skills and strategies are taught both directly and
indirectly.
19.
Reading instruction involves learning word
recognition and identification, vocabulary, and
comprehension.
Writing instruction involves learning to express
meaningful idea and use of conventional spelling,
grammar, and punctuation to express those ideas.
Pupils use reading and writing as tools for learning
in the content areas.
The goal of the balanced reading program is to
develop lifelong readers and writers.
20. WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN TO THE
CLASSROOM TEACHER?
Each teacher will choose certain activities,
materials , and methods to instruct the young reader.
All of these decisions will be based on the teacher’s
definition of reading. If the only definition of reading
that the instructor possesses is one that is implied by
the basal reader in use, then the teacher will be locked
into grading rather than true evaluation. An
instructional model consists of all the decisions that
the teacher makes planning and delivering instruction.
This includes but it is not limited to materials,
activities, procedures, room arrangement, methods
and evaluation.
21. The teacher’s instructional model is a very
personal model that has the most direct impact on
pupil learning. For this reason teacher must have
developed their instructional models from sound
research-based theories.
22. THERE ARE SOME BASIC “TRUTHS” FROM WHICH ALL
READING PROGRAMS SHOULD BE DESIGNED:
Readers need to know how to decode printed
symbols into meaningful words.
Readers need to be able to assign meaning to words
based on the context.
Readers need to read in meaningful texts that are
free of artificial constraints such as limited phonological
controls or restricted vocabulary.
Readers need to have prior knowledge of text topic
or content in order to easily comprehend the reading
material.
Readers need more opportunity to read real text and
less fragmented “practice” of a drill nature.
23. THE IMPLICATIONS OF INSTRUCTION
readers. Both direct and indirect methods are
appropriate.
All forms of decoding should be taught to
Phonics
Sight words
Use of context clues
Structural analysis
Dictionary and Glossary Skills
24. PSYCHOLOGY OF READING
DECHANT and SMITH (1977)
stated that there were certain principles of
psychology of reading that teachers need to be
aware of and use when planning and implementing
reading instruction.
The following is a summary of those findings:
Reading is a sensory process.
Reading is a perceptual process.
Reading is a response.
Reading is a learned process.
Reading is a growth process.
25. In summary, the factors that seem to influence the learning of
reading are the child’s general intelligence, socio economic level,
language facility/ability, motivation to read, physical and social
development, and opportunity to practice.
Generally brighter students learn more than less bright student
do.
Pupils who come from homes which have provided them with
opportunities to do and see the community or world will have an
advantage over pupils who come from homes that have not
provided such opportunities.
Pupils who have the advantage of being healthy, well-fed, and
rested will be able to achieve more in reading than pupils who do not
have the advantage.
Pupils who come from homes that have read to them and have
print materials around and about the home are more likely to be
motivated to learn reading.
Pupils who have been read to and allowed to have their own
books are more likely to be ready to learn to read than student
without these advantages.
26. READING MODELS
A reading model is a graphic attempt “to depict how
individual perceives a word, processes a clause, and
comprehend a text”.
KIND OF READING MODELS:
TOP-DOWN. It emphasizes what the reader brings to
the text, such as prior knowledge and experiences.
Comprehension begins in the mind of the reader, who
already have some ideas about the meaning of the text;
proceeds from whole to part.
BOTTOM-UP. Emphasizes the written or printed text.
Comprehension begins by processing the smallest
linguistic unit (phoneme), and working toward larger units
(syllables, words, phrases, sentences.)
27. THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME VIEWS OF
RESEARCHERS ABOUT THE BOTTOM-UP
READING MODEL
LEONARD BLOOMFIELD
the first task of reading is learning the code of the
alphabet principle by which “written marks…conventionally
represent… phonemes.”
MCCORMICK (1988)
the meaning of the text is expected to come naturally
as the code is broken based on the reader’s prior
knowledge of words, their Meaning, and the syntactical
patterns of his/her language.
Lexical, syntactic, and semantic rules are applied to
the phonemic Output which itself has been decoded from
print.
28. BLOOMFIELD and BARNHART (1961)
Writing is merely a device for recording speech.
PHILIP B. GOUGH
reading is strictly serial process: letter-by-letter
visual analysis, leading to positive recognition of every
word through phonemic encoding.
EMERALD DECHAN
bottom-up models operate on the principle that
the written text is Hierarchically organized.
29. CHARLES FRIES
the reader must learn to transfer from the
auditory signs for language signals to a set of visual
signs for the same signal. The reader must learn to
automatically respond to the visual patterns. The
cumulative comprehension of the meanings signal
then enable the reader to supply those portions of the
signals which are not in the graphic representations
themselves learning to read means developing a
considerable range of habitual responses to a specific
set of patterns of graphic shapes.
30. SOME FEATURES OF A BOTTOM-UP
APPROACH TO READING:
BOTTOM-UP ADVOCATES BELIEVE THE READER
NEEDS TO:
Identify letter feature
Link these features to recognize letters
Combine letters to recognize spelling patterns
Link spelling patterns to recognize words
Proceed sentence, paragraph, and text level
processing
31. INTERACTIVE READING MODEL
An interactive reading model is a reading model that
recognizes the interaction of bottom-up and top-down
processes simultaneously throughout the reading process. An
interactive reading model attempts to combine the valid
insights of bottom-up and top-down models.
THE FOLLOWING ARE VIEWS OF SOME RESEARCHERS ABOUT
THE INTERACTIVE READING MODEL:
EMERALD DECHANT
The interactive model suggests that the reader
construct meaning by selective use of information from all
sources of meaning without adherence to any one set order.
The reader simultaneously uses all level of processing even
though one source of meaning can be primary at a given time.
32. KENNETH GOODMAN
An interactive model is one which uses print as input
and has meaning as output. But the reader provides input,
too, and the reader, interacting with the text, is selective in
using just a little of the cues from text as necessary to
construct meaning.
DAVID E. RUMELHART
Reading is at once a perceptual and a cognitive
process. It is a process which bridges and blurs these two
traditional distinctions. Moreover, a skilled reader must be
able to make use of sensory, syntactic, semantic , and
pragmatic information to accomplish the task.
33. INTERACTIVE INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM
An interactive instructional program is a
program for teaching reading and writing. It focuses
in teacher-directed interaction between whole
language and phonics activities. The rationale
behind it is based on the belief that learners need
explicit instruction about various reading strategies
that they can use to help them understand a text.
34. BOTH INTERACTIVE AND WHOLE LANGUAGE
INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS ARE BASED ON A READING
THEORY THAT SAY THE FOLLOWING:
1) Readers construct meaning from text by selective
use of information from a variety of sources of
meaning such as:
Prior knowledge
Experience
Print
Context
2) A reader can choose to draw more heavily on any
source of meaning at anytime, yet can process
information simultaneously from a variety of
sources.
35. THEORETICAL INFORMATION
An interactive instructional program is based on
the interactive model of reading.
