Cormac Intervention Case Study

Improved Essays
Cormac’s intervention will include explicit instruction in the semantic and syntactic (ability to use context clues) cueing systems, as well as the graphophonic (knowledge of letter sound correspondence) cueing system because developing and accessing these three systems in combination, is an integral part of becoming a proficient reader. I will provide Cormac with a cueing systems bookmark (figure 3) to serve as a reminder for Cormac to use these three cueing systems to process and read unfamiliar text.

    As many teachers search for new strategies and interventions to address the lack of fluency within their reading programs, Repeated Reading (RR) appears to be a topic of curiosity. RR is an evident based strategy designed to increase reading fluency and comprehension through the development of automatic word processing and contextualized linguistic effect (Winter, 2007). Similar to the text features on a cell phone, automatic word processing is the ability to detect and comprehend a word effortlessly as the viewer glares to the next set of letters. This skill is key in increasing fluency as the reader spends little time decoding the words before them.…

    The CORE addresses the misconceptions, such as fluency skills developed through independent silent reading. Contrary to traditional approaches to fluency instruction, the manual reinforces modeling reading strategies for students through teacher assisted readings. One example of modeling is as stated “Research has shown that repeated and monitored oral reading, improves fluency and overall reading achievement” (Diamond & Gutlohn, 2000, pp.363). The repeated oral reading strategy gives students the opportunity to reengage with the text, which fosters the development of fluency skills. In addition, repeated reading can be performed in a various ways, such as teacher assisted reading, peer assisted reading and choral read alouds.…

    Teachers Knowledge and Perceptions of Phonemic Awareness and Phonics Instruction A well-known body of research concluded that the systematic and explicit phonics and phonemic awareness instructions improve early reading and spelling skills and prevent reading difficulties (NRP, 2000; Snow et al., 1998). Therefore, teachers’ knowledge and perceptions of these instructions affect the effectiveness of reading instructions. According to Mather, Bos, and Babur (2001), teachers were not knowledgeable enough about the concepts of English language structure (phonics terminology), even though the teachers had positive perceptions about explicit phonics instructions. For example, only 2% of pre-service and 19% of in-service teachers (293 pre-service and 131 in-service teachers) knew that box has four speech sounds.…

    Beers defines reading automaticity as “a reader’s ability to recognize words without conscious decoding” (205). To help improve a reader’s fluency and automaticity, Beers suggests giving students various ways of hearing the text (215). To help with David’s pace while reading beers recommends determining his silent and oral reading rate. (209). In my next meeting with David, I measure what his reading rate is and I also plan on finding a more challenging text with multi syllable words and reading it aloud to him as he follows along so he will be familiar with the pronunciation of the words.…

    Miscue Analysis Essay

    • 617 Words
    • 3 Pages

    A miscue is a place in which a reader's observed response (what the reader reads) does not match the expected response (what is printed in the text) (Goodman, Watson, & Burke, 2005). The term miscue is used instead of the term mistake because of the negative connotations associated with the words error and mistake. Thus, in order to observe in these group of students the aforementioned processes, I aim to develop what is called a Miscue Analysis and a Retrospective Miscue Analysis, in which researchers and teachers observe patterns that occur in oral reading and target appropriate strategies to the individual reader. Miscue Analysis allows researchers and teachers to identify reading strategies that the reader is using to make sense of printed text.…

It’s an opportunity for teachers to be able to differentiate instruction for students based on their academic needs. It entails the teacher taking notes when the student is orally reading a leveled text. Part one of the reading record is the teacher assessing the student as he or she reads.…

    After completing the readings and participating in the discussions, I have a greater understanding of the many facets of reading. In my original “Thoughts on Reading” paper, I indicated that three critical components of the reading process where phonics, fluency, and comprehension. At the conclusion of this course, I have determined that all three of these components are related to cognitive processes. My current model of the reading process, on the other hand, focuses not just on the cognitive elements of reading, but adds components of motivational, sociocultural, and linguistic perspectives as well. I have come to understand that construction of meaning from text is the ultimate test for successful reading.…
