So I'm enrolled for the first time in a Master's in Teaching program... for people who have no initial certification. And I 'm enrolled in this literacy class, because this program pushes literacy. For our case-study we have to "mentor kids", work with them, do a write-up and determine whether they are "meaning-oriented" or "code-oriented" readers. I have some idea what that means, but not fully! Can someone better explain that to me? Also: any ideas of activities I could do, 1 hour a week, to help get me on the track to figuring it out. I don't understand why we're doing this at the VERY BEGINNING of our first semester in the program, but my school is screwy like that.

Thanks and much appreciated!
