Cambourne Article

I really liked the Cambourne article, "Toward an educationally relevant theory of literacy learning: Twenty years of inquiry". I thought it was very informational and really enjoyed our class discussion on the articles. When breaking into small groups our group chatted a lot about the concept of literacy and praise, literacy immersion, and the idea of engagement of literacy in the classroom. We felt like the article covered extremely well all of these things and gave a lot of applicable stories. My main point was the idea of literacy immersion. I think that literacy needs to be all around the classroom and students need to be experienced to literacy. This is is important because it is not one particular subject but a lifestyle of language and learning that each child needs to be immersed in.
