Reading Conversations [excerpt]: Chapter 7, "Changing Attitudes, Changing Readers: Two Seventh Graders Move from RMA to CRMA"

PROFESSIONAL COMMENTARY 

In this chapter excerpt, retrospective miscue analysis (RMA) and collaborative retrospective miscue analysis (CRMA) were used with two seventh-grade boys labeled learning disabled. RMA and CRMA enabled the boys to use exploratory talk as a tool for learning and gave them time to talk about their reading so they would learn and practice new reading strategies. More importantly, the sessions helped them revalue themselves as readers. As they learned to see themselves as learners and readers, they engaged in the process, took more risks, and were more successful and empowered. (author/bebrown)
