Standard B: Read, Listen and View
A student should be a competent and thoughtful reader,
listener, and viewer of literature, technical materials,
and a variety of other information.
Rationale: Alaska students must be capable readers
and active listeners to take in and evaluate the information
and ideas that shape their daily lives. Across all subjects
in schools, the ability to read and listen, to write and
speak, is paramount. Students must be active users of
media centers and the many resources technology has made
available. Students must also become critical viewers
of all media. Applying what they view, read, and hear
to their own circumstances can enrich their lives, give
them models to emulate, and create visions for what their
future can become.
A student who meets this standard should be able to:
- comprehend meaning from written text and oral and
visual information by applying a variety of reading,
listening, and viewing strategies; these strategies
include phonic, context, and vocabulary cues in reading,
critical viewing; and active listening;
- reflect on, analyze, and evaluate a variety of oral,
written, and visual information and experiences including
discussions, lectures, art, movies, television, technical
materials, and literature; and
- relate what the student views, reads, and hears to
practical purposes in the student's life, to the world
outside, and to other texts and experiences.
