How about using some great art-related picture books, like the Last Resort, by J. Patrick Lewis, or Action Jackson, by Jan Greenberg?  What exactly do you mean by teaching reading, anyhow?

yes, children learns from their atmosphere mostly causal reasoning comes in stages some may have after some extra time or some may have quicker because it depends on their culture, atmosphere, & grooming.

I use novels and films quite often in my courses (in comparative religion).  Many of my colleagues in other departments do so as well.  \n\nHowever, the statement that "people learn best from narrative" is not always true.  People have many different learning styles.  Some are tactile learners, for instance.  \n\nI have learned that the most effective professors will incorporate many different types of materials into their syllabi so that they are able to accommodate a broad range of learning styles.

No matter what age you're referring to, critical thinking skills are acquired through:  math, reading, and writing.  Anything that requires analysis uses critical thinking.  Philosophy, at any grade level is definitely a subject that requires critical thinking.\n\nFor the younger students, book reports where they must analyse what they read is a good start.  New math always requires critical thinking.  Some computer skills require critical thinking.

I took a literature class where I read novels and stories from different literary movements(Greek,Roman,Medieval,Neoclassicism,Illustration, etc)\nand it gave me a better sense of understanding of life. How we have evolved as humans through literature. I loved that class.

cognitive processes\n\nwhich may be analytical/holistic and ecological, qualitative/quantitative, deductive/inductive, complex/theoretical, value-free/value-laden. \n\nDepending on that the teaching may lead to ability just to repeat skills or to develop skills for information processing and conscious use of knowledge.

There are many factors that affect the reading ability of children.  They include:\n\nWhether they were read to from an early age\n\nInterest and attention span\n\nTheir own level of intelligence\n\nHow much reading happens at home, how much their parents read\n\nWhether they have a learning disability\n\nWhether they have lots of books at home, visit the library, etc.\n\nHow well they are taught\n\nThere are probably other factors I haven't mentioned.  HOw children are taught to read is probably one of the least important, all other factors being equal.  However, if a chid has a learning disabiity or is of lower ability overall, then the actual teaching takes on a more significant role.\n\nI hope these thoughts help.

Knowledge is best defined (I think) by Peter Senge as "the capacity for effective action."\n\nThink of Obi-Wan Kenobi: he is full of knowledge, because he knows exactly what to do and how to act effectively.\n\nSo to answer your question, I think the nature of knowledge is first mental.\n\nPeople often confuse knowledge with information. They often say that books contain knowledge, when in fact, books only contain information. That information becomes knowledge when you read it and integrate it into your long-term memory so you can use it at the right time and place.\n\nI would add to Senge's definition: "Knowledge is the capacity for effective action or superior discrimination."\n\nIn other words, knowledge should enable you to make better decisions because you can evaluate information better than the average person.

Children may be smart, but there are certain things that they don't need to know until they fully comprehend.  Why fill their heads with adult stuff when they have plenty of time and learn more while having fun.

I think children should be taught that learning is something we do throughout life, not just to get through school.  They should be taught that a job well done is its own reward.  They need to learn to be self-motivated, independent thinkers.\n\nAs a parent, I try to instill these ideas in my children.  The best teachers are those that, whatever the subject matter, stress discovery, learning and responsibility.\n\nThanks for the work you do!
