DILEMMAS OF TEACHING READING AND WRITING

Journal Title: Edukacja Elementarna w Teorii i Praktyce - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 1

Abstract

Reading and writing have long been prized skills around which in recent times have featured interesting discussions and disputes. At the same time, while some people deplore the decline in readership in our country, others point out the fact that we have never read as much as we do today (of course both sides have in mind different types of read texts). Similar disputes are to be found around the issue of writing. Proponents of handwriting, calligraphy, clash with those who these the only sensible tool today for writing to be a computer keyboard, iPad or iPhone. Despite these and other controversies, most of us recognize the importance of reading and writing skills, and some even see their marked increase in the modern world. I am thinking, for example, of parents, grandmothers and grandfathers, who are looking for opportunities, methods and tools to accelerate and support the teaching of the reading and writing of their children and grandchildren. I think of researchers seeking optimal conditions for learning and teaching these important competencies. Another effect of the popularity of thinking about reading and writing skills are also likely to be the decisions of politicians associated with the operation of education, who have prepared a whole raft of changes in recent years for teachers of preschool and early childhood education (those professionally responsible for laying the foundations for children’s reading and writing skills). The only question is - are you sure that they are good changes? The article aims to analyze the doubts and dilemmas that a person teaching reading and writing must confront today.
