Predictions & Background Knowledge: Teachers can introduce new words they will encounter in the text, discuss experiences, and analyze the cover of the story. Teachers should ask students to make predictions and what may happen as the events in the story start unfolding based on illustrations or title. After reading, students can check to see if their predictions were correct.

Set a Purpose: Teachers should set clear goals for students before reading. They should understand why they are reading a piece of a text, predict, and ask probing questions. This helps anchor their attention.

Illustrations: After reading a story, students can draw how they felt, about a character, or their favorite scene. ELLs: Learning to read in their primary language is easier because it builds on the words and sound structures of the language they know best. However, kindergarteners are sponges and if they are taught to read in two languages simultaneously with differentiated instruction, they can learn. It is also important to remember that the basic skills that serve as the base for reading, such as phonetic recognition and transfer from one language to …show more content…

It shows students the process of making connections, inferences, questions, or thoughts about the text. Having an example of how to think about their reading helps reverse the misconception that reading is a shallow process. Seeing the depth of the process helps them feel like they are not struggling with something simple because it shows literacy is not simple. Additionally, modeling the silent process of reading can be done through strategies like “Say-Something” or “Think-Aloud.” These strategies are done in different groups, partners, or in class discussions.

Reading was thought to be a natural process that children would pick up on their own throughout exposure. This is similar to the natural process of speaking. Children learn to speak once they see their parents or close relatives speak to them. However, this is not what research has shown over the years. As Sarah Schwartz & Sarah D.

From these summarizations and descriptions of the events, the students were then able to determine the theme of a text. I hadn’t considered the EdTPA when designing my lesson and perhaps that is my own folly. I had set out to instruct how we, the readers, use the things given to us; the setting, characters, and characters motivations or plot events to discover a possible theme the author wishes us to consider. We completed three phases of the graphic organizer together, and I had requested the students read along with me and complete the last phase, including the prediction, by themselves. There were many students who had little trouble describing the events and yet there were a few who had some difficulty describing what was happening in the story in their own words.

Therefore, the development of skills needed for reading begins at an early age and progresses through stages into adulthood (Chall, 1996).

The first lesson will focus on CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.2 where we create annotations and gist statements to help us begin to understand how to find theme and to help us summarize the text. Standard CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.4 will be addressed by having students complete a graphic organizer to help them understand how the poet uses metaphors in the poem. Standard CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.7, while not the focus of this lesson, will be introduced through thinking about how the video that goes along with the poem compliments and extends the figurative language in the poem.

“Help students to develop multiple strategies for reading and writing” (Conley, 2012, pp. 28). As a Reading Recovery teacher the majority of what I do is teach my students strategies for reading and writing so that they will be successful when they are not sitting next to me. One way I do this is to give them a “bag” of reading strategies to pull from at any time that they need one. Some strategies that I teach them are to “get your mouth ready,” “stretch out the sounds in the word,” and “use the picture for clues.” These strategies allow students to figure out an unknown word when they are reading in the classroom or at home.
