Transactional/Reader's Response Theory (Rosenblatt, 1978)
Rosenblatt created the transactional/reader's response theory after connecting Schema theory to reading.
Each learner will have a different reading response based on their personal schemata. The two different responses are efferent and aesthetic responses.
-
Aesthetic response are personally subjective and emotionally based. When the student is "living through" what they are reading.
These responses put an emphasis on the active role of the reader and how they create meaning. This also allows the teacher to understand the student and their knowledge based on how they are comprehending a text.
Schema Theory
-
Schemata is the knowledge structures an individual has. There are structures for everything in an individual's life. It is everything thing an individual knows about something. Schemata also influences an individual's learning.
-
-
There are three processes through which schemata changes: accreditation, tuning, and restructuring.
Accretion is when students take in new information, but it doesn't change their schema.
-
-
When there is a difference in schemata, there will also be a difference in how students comprehend.
Instructional practices that activate a student's knowledge are: webbing, vocabulary activities, anticipation guides, and previewing all build.
Theory-to-practice: KWL charts and concept webbing can help activate students' background knowledge.
Psycholinguistic Theory
Psycholinguistics is the "study of relationships between linguistic behavior and psychological processes.
This theory suggests that reading is mainly a language process. Readers use languages cueing systems to help them read text quickly.
-
-
Readers make predictions based on their schemata. If the text is consistent with the readers' expectations, reading will be fluid and easy.
-
Theory-to-practice: Running records and observing students while reading continuous texts. Teachers are able to observe the cues students use.
-
Many of the constructivist theorist were white and only studied white children. They did not take into accountant diverse children and these theories are not consistent with students of color, indigenous students, students with disabilities etc.

Critical Perspectives
Main Assumptions:
understand, analyze, critique, and push back on how power both privileges and oppresses in institutions such as schools
-
-
-
-
Power, privilege, and oppression are to be questioned
-
-
Want to answer the question: How does an individual in conjunction with social and cultural experiences, actively construct understandings of literacy learning with respect to historical, social, and ideological structures or institutions which produce and constrain that literacy learning?
-
Important names in the critical perspective. All of these women are early supporters of Black Feminism. They foregrounded the work, scholarship, and activism of women of color.
Mary Mcleod Bethaune: Rejected any deficit perspective of her students, strove to empower her students, instill joy in her classrooms, opened schools and hospitals
Nannie Helen Burroughs: Opened school for women and girls after being rejected as a teacher for her young age.
-
-
Historically responsive literacy framework which supports BIPOC students. Critiquing texts and spaces with unequal power relationships.
Strategies to use in the classroom: revoicing, counterstories, diversifying classroom library, including all voices, focus on real-world issues.
Affective Lenses
-
-
-
Affective Neuroscience
-
-
The brain, emotion, and learning are all connected. Without one, we cannot have the other two.
Without emotion, we are unable to learn.
Connects to cognitive processing theory, developmental theories of reading, constructivism, and social learning.
Inquiry learning, a constructivist idea and engagement theory, an affective idea, support each other
Discussing importance with students and why we teach specific topics is important for students to build motivation on.

Theory of Literacy Development (Holdaway, 1979)
-
Within this theory, reading is a natural occurrence. The first attempts at reading should be reinforced by parents. Reinforcement will cause the child's skills to grow and read better.
-
Peer interaction is encouraged. Teachers should use big books and shared reading techniques in the classroom.
-
Processes that are components of the natural process include: observation of literacy behaviors, collaboration with an individual who interacts with the child, practice, and performance.
-
-
Emergent Literacy Theory
Period in a child's life that is between birth and their ability to read and write at a conventional level which is usually around third grade.
-
The theory refers to the reading level rather than the age of the learner. Some students could read the conventional level before third grade, or not reach the conventional level until far beyond third grade, some may never get to the conventional level.
Listening, speaking, reading, and writing development are all related.
