- Goodman names sampling, inferring and predicting as reading strategies, while the Oregon standard is non-specific, referring to "appropriate" strategies. The Oregon "sub-benchmark" offers more specifics. Comparing the two sets of strategies for text-level understanding, using Oregon's reading level 7, for example (where most of my students read):
text format and text organization sample
scan/skim sample
ask/answer higher order questions infer/predict
infer infer
chunk sample
mark ---
organize, include graphically ---
summarize ---
discuss with others ---
- The big difference here is at the end of the process. Goodman's model stops after the reader is satisfied that she/he has correctly constructed meaning from the text (reader "terminates"). Goodman's model apparently presumes that the reader won't stop until she/he has satisfied her/his reading purpose. The Oregon learning standard specifically describes the process of analyzing and integrating new meaning with the reader's background knowledge to address the reader's purpose.
- Another difference is the Oregon standard's focus on specific techniques. Goodman talks broadly about "sampling." (I take this to refer to the reader's selection of which text to read, how to read it (close? scan? skim?), and in what order.) The Oregon standard details particular sampling techniques such as using awareness of text format and text organization, or chunking (reading a chosen, generally smaller, unit of text).
