 The

transactional process, or model, of
reading was developed by Louise
Rosenblatt.

 focuses

on the active role of reader in
creating meaning from text


1) Readers and writers play active roles in the reading
and writing processes.



2) Meaning is created during reading and writing in a
two-way transaction between readers or writers and the
texts they read and write.



3) Readers and writers draw on their own experiences
and language skills to bring texts to life.



4) There are multiple possible interpretations of a single
text.
 1)

Students make choices about what to read
and write.

 2)

Teachers ask open question and provide
options for responding to literature and writing.

 3)

Students' voices and prior experiences are
honored.

 4)

Instructional planning includes attention to
students' ideas and experiences.
From a transactional perspective,
assessing reading should not be limited to
tests that assume the correct answers can
be found only in the text.
Interpret the following short poem
considering the:
 Content

message
 Relational message
to the fertile ground of endless length
to the elements bound;
an amorseko eyed by soil
cornered by firmament and solids
it lived by perfumed grass
it lived by Earth
he's dead living by Soul
he's dead.
