Abstract

It is said that the only thing reading can take from you is your ignorance. The problem is how to make pupils to start reading, and by reading I mean real reading, not mere looking at several words under a picture. This is even more difficult if the pupil is fighting a specific learning disorder and reading means an extra load. Multisensory structured drama (MSSD) is a complex method using techniques and conventions of drama in education, which have specific targets and use various skills, not only the language ones. It might seem difficult, however, these are simple and easy to use activities in the meaningful context of a literary piece adapted for language pupils.

Abstract (in Czech)

Říká se, že jediná věc, kterou vám může čtení vzít je neznalost. Problém je, jak žáky ke čtení přivést, a čtením zde myslíme skutečné čtení, ne jen podívání se na pár slov pod obrázkem. Je to o to těžší, pokud žák bojuje s nějakou specifickou poruchou učení a čtení pro něj znamená zátěž navíc. Multisensoriální strukturované drama je komplexní metodou, která využívá techniky a konvence dramatické výchovy, která má specifické cíle a užívá různé dovednosti, nejen jazykové. To by se mohlo zdát složité, nicméně, jde o jednoduché aktivity, které se i snadno používají ve smysluplném kontextu literární předlohy adaptované pro jazykové žáky.
