    If I was to use this strategy again, one modification I would make is providing more diverse informational passages for her to read. Instead of just having her read mostly fictional short stores, I would use passages about other subjects such as science and history. By doing this, I would be expanding her vocabulary of the different key terms she would have to identify within the passage. I believe it is important to incorporate as many different subjects into reading as possible, especially subjects like science or math, which are not given the a lot of time to teach in schools. Since Sophia is advanced in the EL program, I believe this would be more challenging for her by asking to her read passage concerned with science or history and having to identify key terms and explain the definition if possible.…

    One of the ways a school librarian could implement a balanced literacy program is by collaborating with other educators in developing a program that aims to balance between students outcomes. Additionally, whole language and phonic awareness should be taken into consideration as a basic platform. Some of the strongest elements of each can be incorporated into a literacy program that aims to guide students toward proficient and lifelong reading skills.

    The analysis of Kamil’s classroom work, test scores, as well as brief interviews I conducted with him in English and Polish indicate Kamil’s quick acquisition of the second language. According to several research studies, children who are taught to read and write in both their first and second languages at the same time, were successful in learning the second language (Slavin & Cheung, 2005). When Kamil moved to the U.S., he had already had a strong foundation of his first language, and what is more, he speaks, listens, and reads in Polish every day. Those skills might have been crucial in helping Kamil learn and comprehend the second language quicker. I believe that Kamil’s language errors will be eliminated with time, and…
