- Abstract
- Reading is cognitive, emotional and embodied experience. It is responsive, dynamic and fuelled by prior knowledge, dispositions, experience, skills, emotions and curiosity. In our minds we make connections, create images, test hypotheses, pause to reflect, puzzle and wonder, fill gaps, and engage in internalised and external dialogue in order to make meaning. Reading is highly personal and enhanced through social experiences and understandings of what good readers do. The following activities are experiential in nature and enable students to learn through social processes and experience. They support students to engage in reading as a meaning-making process. They foster active participation in important learning processes (connection-making, talking, feeling, seeing and thinking) so that reading skills and understandings are deepened. The activities activate students' physical selves, their personal and emotional responses, and enable them to visualise, imagine and step inside and away from texts. [Author abstract]
