She discusses and gathering facts related to the lesson asked them what this meant, and they were able to respond that they should try their best and listen carefully to put more ideas to the lesson. Therefore, she helps the children with other technical aspects of writing, including spelling grammar and handwriting.
Dated , I witnessed Aparna giving the group an opportunity to speak and work intensively on specific aspects of literacy – understanding, make meaning, expressing their views etc. and ask questions and encouraging children by talk, ideas and experiences being valued and appreciated. She also encourages them to take turns and praises the children for their behaviour when talking, listening carefully, questioning one another and learning to interrupt.

14.01.16 – 21.01.16 During this block I was given the opportunity to take floor book for the first time. As previously mentioned, I had difficulties communicating with some of the children in the nursery. I strongly believe my communication have come a long way since reflecting on them and this improvement was presented during floor book. I was able to quickly identify that the children had a mixture of abilities when it came to understanding and answering questions.
Explain how play and activities are used to support the development of speech, language and communication. Children should be exposed to various opportunities for speaking and listening to encourage their curiosity and promote their communicative literacy. Having limited attention span it is very difficult to engage them in any activity for longer period. It is important to conduct different activities like games, role play, puppets, storytelling, listening and sing-along, which engages them physically, mentally and support language development. Puppets – Puppets are very colourful and are very popular with young children.
Before Alexie knows the vocabulary to say a paragraph, he understood what is mine. Also, he saw every member of his family like a paragraph, they complete each other. Alexie helped himself to can read in early age when the other boys struggling through reading simple
I would start by introducing myself to all the parents and ask them what they would like to learn about or if they have any questions on what literacy is. I would tell them how valuable education is and that we need to pass on that value to your children. (Diane M Barone/Marla H. Mallette, 2013). We are going to provide home activities for you as parents to do with your child. This will help build your child’s literacy skills and we will have goals and structure for your child.
I will use T-I-P-S I will be T- tuned in to the children. I- introduce the book, P- promote language and S- summarize the book. I will do this type of activity 5 to 8 times a
She elicited parent to volunteer in the classroom. 4d – Miss Hannan participated in twice a week grade team meetings. She was an active participant at these meetings, discussing and sharing strategies and resources. During band concert rehearsals, Miss Hannan assisted students to help them prepare for the school wide event. Miss Hannan attended several district and school-wide professional developing training sessions on literacy, math, student engagement and mediation.
“The kidsREAD classes are kept to small groups of less than 30 children, with volunteers managing and facilitating the session” (Law, Chia, 2015). The classes are held on the weekends once a week. The leaders will read a few stories to the whole group, then it breaks apart into smaller groups to do literacy activities. This program would be need based and students who really needed the instruction would get it. This program provides a way to get students to read outside of school and makes it more enjoyable.
In the video, “Becoming Readers and Writers”, Shelia Owen’s kindergarten class, are five-and six-year-old are readers and writers from day one. The teacher discuss the four reading activities they use in the classroom. The first one she discuss is read aloud, which the teacher is reading a book, modeling the language, and stimulating the discussion in the love of reading. Share reading is when the teacher pulls back on participating and the children role increases. Another one she discuss about is guided reading, and that’s when the teacher pulls back further, and the children show her how much they have learned.
The following experiences with children have been completed throughout 2014-2016: • Westminster College Preschool Lab • Hance Elementary School Field Experience • New Castle Head Start As I reflect on my experience in working with a variety of different types and ages of children, I realize the importance of Component 3a of Domain 3: Communicating with children. I was able to positively and effectively communicate with children of all ages from preschool to elementary age during my time at the many experience locations. While volunteering, it was necessary to use age-appropriate knowledge and proper tone for the children to keep engaged while speaking to their ability. As importantly as speaking, I needed to be a proactive and interactive
Subject content is provided through differentiated instruction which can be learned by the exceptional learner, such as English language learners, special education students and readers that struggle by utilizing the audio support provided thorough the mastery system. With this system, students can listen to the entire text read to them with the online e-text. Vocabulary words are provided in the beginning of each lesson for students to identify the key terms in the text, search for their meaning in the glossary provided in the back of the book, and form an understanding of the words meaning which can lead to a higher comprehension of the subject content. The vocabulary words are also provided on the mastery system in English as well as Spanish. Once again for the English language learners, special education students and readers that struggle, an audio glossary defines key terms.
Strategies such as reading a book to them or even allowing time for them to ask questions are great ways to introduce literacy to children. I also thought it was very interesting how the author created a chart with how teachers are able to put books in the homes of the children they teach. Instead of telling the teachers how to do it, she instead helps them understand how lending books may be like. For example, she states that "Book loss. If a book is never returned despite efforts to get it back, take the attitude that losing a few books is unavoidable, and hope that the book is being loved and used" (Jalongo , 2004, pg. 61).
The advantage for students is that once the students get the basics down, they can go to the library and read a wide variety of children’s literature. Whole language teachers are expected to provide a literacy rich environment for their students to combine speaking, listening, reading and writing. Whole language teachers emphasize the meaning of texts over the sounds of letters. Whole Language is considered a “top down” approach where the reader constructs personal meaning for a text based on using their prior knowledge to interpret the meaning of what they are
It is not only helping children develop pre-literacy skills, problem solving skills and concentration, but also generating social learning experiences, and helping children to express
5 strategies that a teaching assistant might use to support literacy development: 1.Improving language which means building children’s vocabulary. Vocabulary is very important. It is needed to communicate, to understand others and to express own ideas. Building and improving vocabulary will improve reading and writing skills. In order to improve children’s vocabulary teaching assistant could make sure to provide children with a language-rich environment.
Teachers can also learn about a childs’ experience and offer help and attention. Literacy is very important in every aspect of a person’s life, a teacher in the foundation phase should emphasize this and help their skills and literacies develop
