[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 549026, member: 14557"] Hate to be straight-laced over this, but there is only one way kids/people learn to distinguish different types of text, understand and analyse them and use them, is reading a lot of different texts. It was same before texting and it is so after that. Text message and chat are just few new types of texts, nothing more. Just something to add to that list, there kid should learn to distinguish, verse from prose, fact based from fiction, news article from editorial and from column, scientific study from textbook, advertisement from news article etc. To learn to recognize irony and parody and many other style choices. And learn well enough to distinguish them even if they claim to be something else than they are (many like to write their advertisements or opinion based texts as news for example.) Reading is not just being able to put letters together and make words out of it. If kids use inappropriate type of text for the assignment, it just tells, that they are not familiar enough with the type of text they have been asked to write. And best, and really only, way to learn is to read enough all different types of texts to get the feel.[/EDUCATIONAL PRUDE]:winking: [/QUOTE]
