805 Words4 Pages

Slide 1

Vocabulary instruction is very important in reading and reading comprehension and as a teacher, there will be dedicated time and activities devoted to vocabulary instruction. By increasing a student's vocabulary knowledge, you improve their reading, reading fluency, and their reading comprehension, not to mention their knowledge of words and ability to communicate.

To implement vocabulary instruction I will:
Focus the appropriate amount of time on tier 1, tier 2, and tier three vocabulary words during small group and whole class instruction.
Review unknown vocabulary with students before reading aloud to the class or completing an activity with students.
Implement explicit methods of teaching vocabulary with students, such as providing …show more content…

While students may not be able to read the text yet, they are exploring the pictures and making assumptions on what text could be saying. They are using the pictures to make predictions and becoming more print aware in the process. By reading to students, reading skills will continue to develop along with their vocabulary.

To implement reading, reading to students, and book exploring I will:
Give time for students to read early reader books during reading and free time.
Have a specific time for students to read and explore books in the classroom and reflect on the book as well through writing or recording their thoughts and opinions. Independent reading can happen even at age four.
Read to students every day and give students a chance to explore the books that we read as a whole class during independent reading time.

Slide 3

How students are grouped and matching their reading level to students with like abilities will be important during small group instruction and in meeting the needs of individual students. When students are grouped appropriately, small group instruction can target that group of students reading needs. This will allow me to tailor instruction to the student's needs, which strengthen their current skills and challenge them when they are ready. Working in small group instruction will also allow me to assess how students are progressing with their …show more content…

Specifically, in preschool or kindergarten, students are working to build their phonetic awareness, becoming more print aware, and developing their abilities in writing. At this age, students are working to discover what the author is telling them with the text, make predictions about the text, and beginning to use text features and pictures in the text to help with reading the text. To develop these skills in students, many different techniques and activities must be used to engage

The scenario provided, focuses on a student in the fifth grade. Chole is very hard-working student who completes tasks in an efficient manner, and flourishes from a consistent structure academically, as well as socially. Chloe’s only struggle, academically, is her ability to read fluently on a grade appropriate level. Although Chloe can read sight words and can decode a vast amount of multi-syllable words, Chole is unable to to read with tone or expression in a suitable manner. This discovery has supported the decision to implement various strategies to assist Chloe develop her reading fluency, become an expressive reader, and be able to read fifth grade level text in a fluent manner (Paulsen & the IRIS Center, 2004).

in question allows the student to become familiar with the word, the object it refers to, and its pronunciation. In the past, I have seen some vocabulary terms also written on the board (sometimes with a drawing of the object the word refers to). This also allows students to know how the word is spelt. I 'm not sure if the majority of these words can be taught in the traditional, academic sense of "explicitly teaching" it. The seven steps of teaching vocabulary terms we learned may not be as applicable in this classroom.

They also appear to enjoy learning the content due to their involvement. The goal of this activity was to build students reading skills by working them through the subject and allowing them to discuss amongst each other any information that relates to the subject of the reading. It is also intended to help the students think as they read. This helped enable the students understand the subject of the reading, offer their own insight, and identify words more easily. This will also allow students to identify new words and will increase their ability with word identification and reading skills.

According to Nagy (1998), in the article “Teaching Vocabulary to Improve Reading Comprehension,” in order to produce vocabulary growth what is needed is “more reading” and “not more vocabulary instruction” (Bintz, 2011, p. 3). Moreover, a major tenet of vocabulary development is that vocabulary is better produced through a context-dependent activity (such as reading, where the vocabulary is learned and engaged in context) rather than traditional methods of directly teaching vocabulary terms and definitions in isolation of a context. However, as the National Institute of Literacy (2007) acknowledges in What Content-Area Teachers Should Know About Adolescent Literacy, there is “not a single best way to teach vocabulary...rather a variety of techniques

In Detail In detail Young children from three to five years of age, use their hands to explore and learn about the environment and themselves. Children progress from scribbling and drawing, to trying to form letters and writing real letters and words. By developing good hand skills and other pre-writing skills you will prepare your child for the next step, which is writing. When your child asks you to “read” her scribbles, you know she or he is aware that speech is represented by symbols (letters of the alphabet).

There may be words that the student have never seen before or may need assistance with decoding. Reviewing these skills with the students will help with their fluency in reading the text and make comprehending the text easier. As a class the teacher can read the text and check for comprehension by asking questions. Reading aloud to the students will allow the student to see how the teacher reads the text and the students can model after the teacher. (S. Peha, 1995)There are many strategies to teach the students that will build their reading skills.

The teacher prompts the students as they read a book to think about the following questions: What is the author trying to tell us, why is the author telling us this, where is the author going with this line of thinking, and is it said so that we can understand it? This reinforces comprehension because it causes them to understand the ideas and problems in the text. This encourages the students to actively engage collaboratively with the ideas in the text and in discussing the answers. Once the students understand that the text and the author are to be

The Enlightenment, a time period between 1600c. and 1800c. , emphasized using reason, logic, and science to solve problems within society. European thinkers, such as Baron De Montesquieu, Jean Jacques Rousseau, John Locke, and J.H. Bernardin de Saint, used logic to question the authority of kings and queens. They also stressed freedom for all, humanism, and equality between rulers and their citizens.

Drucker Reflection After having taken the Sheltered English Immersion course this past summer, much of the information that was presented in this article was a review for me. However, there was some information that I found to be interesting and will now look upon my current instruction to see if I should correct my strategies. One area in particular that I find to be essential for literacy instruction with intermediate English Language Learners is developing vocabulary. For example, one point that I found interesting was the integration of vocabulary with instruction rather than just pre-teaching vocabulary. This seems contrary to was I was told in my SEI course as we learned about the Seven-Step Process and Illustrated Dictionaries as strategies to teach vocabulary.

Constrained skills are the quickest to develop and master, such as decoding, fluency, and word recognition (Kintsch, 2004; Paris & Hamilton, 2009). As children acquire and become automatic in these reading skills, these constrained skills aid the child in a smooth transition to the later stages of reading development where there is a heavy focus on unconstrained skills. Unconstrained skills such as comprehension, vocabulary, and composition, continually develop over time making them much more complex with uncertainties of when or how they become automatic (Kamhi, 2009;

Extensive research has informed the teaching of reading with ‘great debates’ (ref) providing opposing views either reading as a whole text (analytical) or as teaching decoding of individual words (synthesising) as a skill to reading – phonics. Whilst the two approaches both need the child to have a phonological awareness – ‘the ability to perceive, recall and manipulate sounds and specifically within language’ (Jolliffe et al, 2015, p. 2) the analytical approach to reading involves the pupils inferring the identity of the new word through the recognition of the letters at the beginning and end of the word which can be supported through clues from the remainder of the sentence or through pictorial representations – a word to part strategy.

The teacher should focus on the students learning target words, as well as learning how and when to use the new vocabulary. The students must be actively engaged in the learning, and the vocabulary needs to be presented in a meaningful context. To ensure that the students are learning and remembering the new words, they must review multiple exposure to the new language and frequently review past key

Guided reading is very important for the emergent reader. The emergent reader is a person who is just beginning to learn how to read and grasp the basic concepts of book and print, while also trying to understand sound/symbol relationships (Learning A-Z, 2018). Guided reading is about the teacher working with a small group, while the other children work independently. For a teacher to complete a guided reading lesson they can start by grouping the children into small groups around the same reading level. The teacher chooses the grouping of each student by assessing their running records or even observations of previous guided reading lessons or listening to the students in independent reading time (Menner, 2014).
