Accelerated Reading Assessment

In my preparation for read aloud lesson I first relied on the amount of the text and vocabulary that could possibly be accommodated for the first or second grade. I tried to choose the book that would be interesting and students of that age are able to understand it. The goal of my reading aloud class is to replenish students’ vocabulary and teach them to analyze the text. One of the requirement for read aloud text was the amount of reading.

The teacher selects and introduces new books carefully chosen to match the instructional levels of students and supports whole text reading. Independent Reading time, when students choose their own appropriate books. Here, they can apply the cue systems and decoding strategies that they have learned during Shared and Guided

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of explicit sight word instruction on the reading speed of elementary EFL students. Participants’ ability to read affects their daily lives in significant ways. Thus, effective pedagogical methods of reading instruction are imperative. Memorizing lists of words by sight is especially difficult for participants who need multiple exposures to successful. Therefore, it is necessary to see different ways to teach participants who visit for multiple repetitions in an approach that will not lead to ennui or frustration.

1. Define Disciplinary Literacy (DL): Disciplinary Literacy is learning how to read, think about, write, communicate, and use information like each discipline’s expert. It involves the tasks and processes of reading, thinking, inquiring, and speaking, required to learn and develop discipline-appropriate content knowledge. 2. Define Content Area Literacy (CL): Content Area literacy is the ability to use reading and writing for the acquisition of new content in a given discipline.

Strategy Instruction and Rationale: The students will be given an expository text to read on their own. The students will also be given a power mapping graphic organizer to use while reading their text. The students will fill out the power-mapping organizer with the main idea, the subtopics and then the supporting ideas. The students will have to use phrases from the text to make sure that they are utilizing the correct vocabulary.

The teachers usually teach from a textbook trying to help students understand the content and this adds to rote learning .Therefore at all levels in a school system the textbook plays a significant role as students are assessed through examinations that are within the limits of the textbook and for the teacher it acts as a structuring device in a particular sequence that can be applied

Then there is informal miscue and that is when the teacher is listening to the children reading. Teachers must know based on what they are doing what kind of materials they will need for their

By using graphic organizers, Endacott and Brooks state “when the affective component of historical empathy has been emphasized and examined, students have demonstrated various forms of care for the subjects of their study.” Along with enabling students with historical empathy strategies, the history professional learning community must focus on building literacy skills by using common reading and writing techniques such as close reading and comprehension skills. As a professional development opportunity, the teacher will spend time in the English Department’s learning community to gain relevant reading comprehension strategies. Feedback Once the walk-through document is submitted, teachers receive instant feedback.

Introduction: Reading is beneficial in acquiring language, according to Harmer, “ The more you read, the better you get at it” (Harmmer, 2007). This means reading is a significant skill that students should practice in daily life because it will support them in being more intelligent by having a lot of input, improve their language and construct their vocabulary as well as it will help them in their careers (Harmmer, 2007). Teachers should consider reading as an important skill and try to scaffold students in simple and fun way to make students feel interested to learn. In this paper I am going to analyze my MST`s reading lesson that I observed during my teaching practice to see what worked with her students and what did not work as well

Point 1: Sociolinguistics (8) 174w When it comes to reading, every student has different experiences in regards to what they are interested in reading. Working with students that are extremely diverse sociocultural theory addresses the importance of incorporate reading that students can relate to culturally. Implementing culturally diverse material, students begin to reflect with the story that they are reading and they are motivated to read because they are becoming part of the story. By implementing different cultures books, they are expanding their knowledge of other cultures that they are not familiar or were never aware. Adapting to students culture is important for a teacher to do, especially when teaching a diverse school because making those personal connections are crucial to building relationship with the students and their community.

The student understands the directions and can identify the key details in the passage. The sight words and spelling words correspond with the

Having students fully engaged with a text to achieve meaningful learning requires some components be put in place. The text must be on their appropriate instructional reading level, so as not to frustrate them. The students must have the skills to read and then critically analyze the content. To do this, students must usually have scaffolded instruction on how to analyze a text, for example how to make inferences or connect a topic to its real word application. Students also must have the opportunity to discuss with others the text to deepen their understanding by using others points of view to help deepen their own understanding.
