My first assessment with Rheya was a concept of print assessment on the book “Follow Me Moon”. Rheya is five years of age and attending a kindergarten class at Miramar Elementary School. Once we sat down together, I explained to her that I was in school to become a teacher and that I needed her help for several assessments. I wanted her to understand why she was being assessed and I also wanted to give her a sense of purpose by “helping me”. After informing Rheya about the assessment, she responded by telling me that she wants to become a teacher when she’s older as well.
I first began by showing her the cover of the book and asked her where the title is located. In which, she quickly pointed to the lettering of the title. Although she was …show more content…

Before beginning the four phonemic awareness assessments, I sat down with Rheya and discussed the assessment with her. I explained to her that we were first going to review her knowledge of capital letters of the alphabet, lower case letters of the alphabet, letter sound identification, and then we were going to work on isolating initial phonemes. I explained the four skills in terms that she would understand.

I explained to her that we were first going to review her knowledge of capital letters of the alphabet, lower case letters of the alphabet, letter sound identification, and then we were going to work on isolating initial phonemes. I explained the four skills in terms that she would understand. As an incentive for her cooperation, I brought a small bag of fruit snacks and told her that she would get to eat the fruit snacks after school if she participated during the four skill assessments.
The first skill we assessed was Rheya’s alphabet recognition of uppercase letters. The letters on the assessment were not in order of the alphabet, so Rheya would have to visually recognize each letter in order to identify it. Below, is the order of the assessment letters, along with the highlighted words that were not recognized by the

Kimorah is a second-grade general education student from a school in the St. George area of Staten Island, New York. Upon having Kimorah assigned as my student and before meeting her, I learned that through prior assessments it is established that she is on a C reading level, and in the second grade. When I think of second graders, I think of babies that were just born into this world a couple years ago, but among meeting Kimorah I quickly realized that she is a person in every sense of the word. Kimorah is a 7-year-old extroverted girl, who is expressive and full of personality. Consequently, shyness does not affect her, but to break the ice further I decided to conduct a set of fun activities.

The school argued that signing would become a “crutch” and limit a child’s ability to speak and interact with the hearing world (31). While Tressa viewed this as a positive program at the time, she later discovered the importance of sign and how it allowed Alandra to communicate to the fullest extent. After the family moved, Alandra began attending a residential school in Jacksonville. At this school, sign and speech were used in a “total communication” method. Here, Alandra was able to spend her entire day with deaf peers and learn how easy it was to communicate with them through sign language.

She saw it as an obstacle that they would be able to overcome with hard work. And so, after a good cry to just let all of her fears, worries, and grievances out, she buckled down and started looking at options for her deaf daughter. First, they tried the oral method at the Central Institute for the Deaf in St. Louis. Once a week, for two years, they drove thirty miles to attend an hour-long class. This was very difficult and tedious, and certainly not the best communication method, but it was the only resource they had at the time, and at least it gave them a foundation to work off of from there.

Cuomo effectively reinforces phoneme awareness by activating the students’ prior knowledge of other vowel-consonant-e words, such as /ae/ in the word snake. Hence, the students practice previously learned phonemes to reduce struggle while also allowing them to use said phonemes as an additional tool to learn the /ie/ phoneme. To effectively teach students the written language system (i.e., orthography) for the /ie/ phoneme, Cuomo tries to prioritize the letter order to learn the phoneme-grapheme sequence (Moats, 2020). For instance, to spell the word bike, she has her students write the letters i and e first with a blank space before the i and

Every moment is a memorable part of the journey of life. I have always appreciated the value of giving to others because I believe that just being able to lend a hand to others, no matter how trivial it may be, is what makes life worth living.
