Week Three Assignment One

Shared Reading

1.        Oral Read- models fluent and expressive reading

Phonological awareness-the students hear the correct way  to pronounces  words

Vocabulary-reading books above their level builds their vocabulary’

Word Identification- they practice reading the pronunciation of words

Comprehension- discussing the story with the class  

 Composition-discussing the story with the students

Fluency- when the students read along with the students, they catch on to the teacher fluency

2.     By practicing phonics the students must use problem solving skill. The teacher keeps changing the beginning letters and adding all different blends. The students use their knowledge of the sounds of letter and blends to form other words.  If this words says “ot” then if you put a” d “ in front then this word says dot.

3.  Shared reading is very beneficial for the students in many ways. They learn new words such as sight words and high frequency words that they would not be able to learn on their own. From the shared reading the student’s  learn phonic skills.  

Guided Reading

 Mrs.  Perez encourages her students to verbalize their strategies of how they figured out how to pronounce the words.  The more the students verbalized their strategies the more it gets internalize the more the kids realize what they are doing.

 She uses masking to gets the students thinking about the text. By covering the word in a sentence, she really helps her students build meaning in the text.  Having different strategies to rely helps the students understand what is going on in the story and to build their comprehension of   every word in the text.

She also helps the students by picking the appropriate text for each child.  She chooses text that will really help the child improve their reading.

Differentiated instruction

The making word activity works for a lot of types of words and for all different type of learners.   The students sound out the words that is beneficial for the auditory learners and she also had the letter in front of them which is good for the visual learners,

The students wrote notes on the important part of books. They read the book and highlighted what they think is an important category, They write down the main details this helps them build their reading and writing skills.

Assessment

 Mrs. Perez uses her assessments to see where here students are holding and how to plan her lesson. She revisits the assessments twice, in the middle of the year and the end, to see how much they have  learnt.

In my classroom I would like to use the graph that Mrs. Perez created. I think it is a very clear way to see where each child is holding and where they should be holding compared to the rest of the class. When I teach I will try to assess each child by walking around the classroom during individual work time or during groups and work with a student to see where he/ she is holding
