Talk about the book Sheep in a Jeep by Nancy E. Shaw. Before read aloud I Show the cover and ask the child what the book is about. Flip through the book, look at the pictures together, and figuring out the point of a story or guessing what will happen next. While reading aloud, I stop and ask open-ended questions such as: What do you think will happen next? What do you think is happening in the picture?…
1. Explain the importance of oral language. What is the role of read-alouds for ELLS in the grade level that you teach? As Appendix A describes, oral language is important since it precedes and is the foundation for written language development.…
Depending on the age group of the audience some illustration books have the ability to teach children the concept of cause and effect. In Where the Wild Things Are, Max’s misbehavior caused his mother to send him off to bed without supper. Children must learn that for an action there is a reaction. This cause and effect learning also helps children build better communication skills. Teachers and parent that read aloud illustration books often stop to talk about the illustrations.…
In my original lesson plan I had the student’s start at their desks and used the ELMO to do my reading,…
As I go through the story I would bring out each animal along with the gingerbread man, and when I mentioned the famous line “run, run as fast as you can, you can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread man, I would pass the gingerbread man to the student and we would pass it back and forth till the end. My tone of voice changed when I was emphasizing famous quotes or lines from the story, or when moments that I think the students will find interesting. When telling the story I want my props to be more engaging, but I enjoy having different endings, and props for the different endings for the students. Family literacy night allowed me to see the things I would change during a lesson whether it is storytelling or reading from a…
My little, Khloe, attends Seawind Elementary School and is in fifth grade. She is very active and always in a hurry to get her homework done, so that we can play. I have even caught her writing random things down so that her homework looks complete, but it really is not. As you can imagine, she was not exactly thrilled about me having her do this reading assignment with her. Khloe reads well and is on level.…
What’s good about this is that children may not realize how often they or others interrupt people who are speaking. Another important component to the story is how the author writes “I have a lot to say, and all of my words are very important to me”. This shows that the author knows that children’s own thoughts, feelings, and needs are the important to themselves. All children need to be aware that their own thoughts, feelings, and needs are important and should be respected. Also, the humor brought into the book really helps to keep the children interested and interacting with the book.…
A) You are supporting a five year old with their reading – how would you interact? Using basic language and calming tone, suggest talking through the pictures for additional clues. Ask the child to describe what is happening in the pictures then revisit the word or sentence that was the initial obstacle. Continue to use praise as each page is finished, this will allow the child to see how well they’re doing and that they’ll continue to try on each page. Smile and join in the story with your expressions – eg,act shocked when the car gets stuck etc.…
The tecniques she used were good because she made the children listen to her. Dr. Colleen read out loud for the children to listen, she used body language when she was reading. For example , she would hold the book on one hand and the other hand using action as the story being read to the children. Also she was reading the children a big book. She shows the children the cover of the book and introduce the title.…
Growing up I learned to read at the age of 7. I don't remember in details of the process that I had to go through in order to learn how to read. In spite of this, one bitter memory that stands out was when my father made me read the newspaper to him every night. It was definitely not an enjoyable experience.…
She will be part of a group of students that will read at or near the teachers work table because they are struggling academically or behaviorally. If she is able to read with some assistance, that is preferable, and she will be able to ask for assistance as needed. If she struggles to the point of not being able to make daily progress without assistance, she will be allowed to listen to the audio book while following along and will be responsible for writing two complete sentences and an illustration that goes along with her…
The class is reading “Woods Runner” by Gary Paulsen. The majority of the time, the teacher will read aloud to the students as they follow along in their own books at their desks. Jim Trelease says, “Reading aloud to children helps them develop and improve literacy skills -- reading, writing, speaking, and listening. And since children listen on a higher level than they read, listening to other readers stimulates growth and understanding of vocabulary and language patterns” (Trelease, 2013).…
a. The Role of a Phonological Awareness in Reading Development Phonology is one of the most important components of a language. It is called building blocks of a language, and individuals must be able to access its phonology to learn the language. Phonology means the rules of sounds in the spoken language or the rules of hand movements in the sign language (Paul & Whitelaw, 2011). Phonology is fundamental for the development of reading skills. Acquiring phonology can lead to raising up comprehension, language structures and vocabulary knowledge (Paul, Wang, & Williams, 2013).…
This reading activity was designed for a small group of four students, led by a teacher assistant. The primary goal…
I really like how the teacher made the smooth transition from the personal experience of prior knowledge and then to concrete example form read-aloud. Before the reading, the teacher introduces the cover of the book, the title, and the author. She spends some time on an illustration by asking the questions, which are connected to the aim of the lesson and the students ' abilities to practice in prediction strategy also. During the reading, students able to pay attention to previous analyzed the letter and the written letter by Cows to Farmer. For example, what is the word “Dear” means in the letter and its position.…
