Chunking Strategies

Superior Essays
Co-teaching provides greater teacher attention for students on all academic levels through collaboration and communication. With more intense instruction, both general and special education students increase their opportunity for more student engagement and participation in the educational setting. It is designed to provide a specific service of delivery to meet the educational needs of a diverse student body. The co-teaching process allows both teaches to express their ideas and reflect upon which ones are the most creative by facilitating two minds, two perspectives, and two learning styles (Brewer, 2013).

Inmon and Mr. Jackson use in their classroom is chunking the assignment. According to Sheremeta (2011), chunking is “manageable units of information (bundles of information) that make it easier to remember and reduce the information overload” (p. 1). Cognitive psychology indicated chucking was a comprehension instructional strategy that could be used to help the student process information and transfer it from their short-term memory to their long-term memory. The visual effect assists students in identifying key vocabulary and helps develop their ability, to summarize, organize, and synthesize new information. The chunking strategy is an effective reading accommodation that helps students learn and process new information by improving the students’ overall achievement through motivation and collaboration. In addition, it improves the students attitude through interaction with other …show more content…
Inmon and Mr. Jackson, include scaffolding techniques (open-ended questions (Learning Disabilities Association of America, 2017)), using direct and explicit instruction (direct, engaging, and success oriented (Learning Disabilities Association of America, 2017)), using visual supports when possible (graphic organizers, charts, pictures, and visual outlines (Watson, 2017)), peer tutoring (helps improve reading accuracy and comprehension by pairing two students together (The Access Center, 2018)), one-on-one tutoring with a teacher (more focused and versatile (Watson, 2017)), working in small groups (using hands-on-activities and project-based learning, so students will gain more self-confidence, and be more likely to achieve academic success (Bellini, n..)), extending time on assignments and tests, shorting or reducing assignments, and implementing technology when possible (A.

    I chose to record a 25-minute whole group, English Language Arts lesson that focused on the 7-Steps Vocabulary strategy and Sentence Frames. This lesson focused on two selected terms (play and dip) from the targeted story “Pig in a Wig.” As I began the lesson, I activated students’ prior knowledge by asking students if they remembered the two words that they learned the previous week. Students were able to recall the terms and their definition and were able to remember the way those words were introduced to them. I began explaining to students that they would be introduced to two new words from a new story we would begin reading the following day.…

    Pre-Teaching Another common general practice that teachers can use to help students with learning disabilities is called pre-teaching. Munk, Gibb, and Caldarella (2010) define pre-teaching as “the advance introduction of information that prepares students for upcoming instruction” (as cited in Berg and Wehby, p. 15). The introduction of difficult concepts and vocabulary can have a significant impact on a student’s progress understanding of new course material. Pre-teaching does not simply have to address vocabulary or concepts for an upcoming lecture. Instead, pre-teaching can be used to review previous concepts learned from a previous section.…

    For strategy section IV, I selected the strategy read-aloud plus because I believed I could successfully incorporate this strategy into my lessons in order to fully benefit Sophia. I chose to implement this strategy because it would provide Sophia with the most beneficial learning experience possible. This strategy is important because it incorporates the modeling of fluent expressive reading of English text with techniques for clarifying vocabulary, while periodically checking for understanding and providing activating knowledge to help make connections between text and personally experiences. This strategy involves the teacher reading the text aloud to the student while providing periodic paraphrasing and other extensions. 3.…

    A teacher’s goal is to maximize his or her student’s potential. Traditionally, the biggest challenge for students with disabilities was to meet their needs in the areas of social, behavioral, cognitive, perceptive and motor skills (Adebisi et al. 14). A learning disability is defined by the Schwab Foundation as a person who is diagnosed by a professional with a difficulty as a result of a CNS dysfunction in the areas or reading, writing, math, science, reasoning speaking, or listening. In order to meet the diverse needs of these students, they were traditionally removed from the mainstream classroom and placed in a separate classroom to learn. Although this was the best way to meet the students’ academic needs, their social needs were grossly…

    1. The research-based justifications for teaching students to develop strong note-taking skills that are presented in the “Note-Taking Strategies for Students with Disabilities” article are research done by Divesta and Gray in 1972 and Peper and Mayer in 1986 had “indicated that students with learning disabilities are often “passive learners””. (Weishaar p. 392) This means that they will not engage in class discussion, raise their hands if confused in hopes of not embarrassing themselves, or because they cannot comprehend everything going on. Divesta and Peper’s research found that students with learning disabilities who took notes were “actively engaged in the learning process, thus improving comprehension” (Ibid).…

    Speed Reading Skills

    Speed reading is traditionally looked upon highly and is seen as a great skill in the academic and professional community. There is a relationship between reading speed and retention when one holds the assumption that reading faster is better (McLaughlin, 1969; Smith, 1975). The capability of reading faster is possible but the quality of retaining the information read is variable (McLaughlin, 1969). The average person reads 200-250 words per minute (WPM) for upper intermediate grades and 300-350 WPM for adults with 70-80% comprehension accuracy (Carver, 1983; Lauer, 2008; Louise & Lauer, 1959; Shore, 1968; Smith, 1975). The question that remains is if a fast reader is, in fact, a “good” reader.…
