Definitions for "Language Experience Approach"
an approach to literacy development based on the idea that students can learn to write by dictating to the teacher what they already know and can express verbally, and that they can then read that which has been written
an approach that combines attention to listening, speaking, reading, and writing in order to establish a link between oral and written expression.. The process involves student dictation of stories that teachers transcribe for subsequent reading and revision.
Student-generated stories about real life experiences. The experiences may be structured by the teacher (e.g., field trips, science demonstrations, other) and the stories may be dictated or written by the students either as a group experience, or individually and then shared with the class.
