Creating reading clubs that foster resiliency: Theoretical foundations

Abstract: Abstract. This article presents a discussion on current theoretical trends that consider reading as a literacy social practice and resiliency as a building process. The concepts explored in this paper are central part of the theoretical and research based foundations of a literacy proposal conducted to identify resiliency building processes through dialogic experiences generated after reading events. The core concepts to be discussed in this article constitute the basis for the creation of a reading club viewe… Show more

“…Therefore, it seems to be essential to explore alternatives that can help efl teachers to detach, at least to some extent, from the strong focus on the linguistic and the textual when reading and writing in the efl classroom and promote literacy practices that may make the learning of the language a more meaningful, engaging, and pleasant activity. As argued by Chapetón (2005) "developing alternative reading programs can contribute a lot to the education of individuals as social readers" (p. 4) since these spaces may foster self and free expression, dialog, and discussion, and thus, the social construction of meaning.…”

“…In the case of reading clubs in schools, these seek to develop reading comprehension skills in children, to increase their reading speed and good spelling, and to serve as a space and vehicle to develop their imagination, their taste for reading, to improve socialization and overcome problems or conflicts through the stories they find in books. These reading programs can contribute to the development of social readers, which is favorable, because it helps individuals from common contexts to construct meanings and it is important to create “spaces for self and free expression where people are sharing ideas, opinions, emotions or whatever emerges from the transactional interaction between readers and texts” (Chapetón, 2005: 4). Such statement brings us back to a Freirean conception of reading, as he conceives it as a process in which the reader connects the text and context of the work with their own social and personal context and experiences.…”

“…The argument of changing reality through activities that imply reading, culture, socialization and a sharing attitude is vital for society’s resilience. For instance, Chapetón (2005) calls ‘resistant readers’ those that “communicate, express, negotiate and share critical responses to reading, is a way to understand our worlds (…) to foster changes and be reflective of our lives by creating a social-supportive network among the participants of that community of readers” (p. 5).…”
