Reading Aloud Assignment

Improved Essays
In our Literacy Internship/Internship 3 course we were to do a ‘Read Aloud’ assignment. We could it base onto any piece of literature that was our choosing or if our mentoring teacher had one, she or he wanted us to do it on. When I had asked my mentor teacher when she would like me to do my ‘Read Aloud’ assignment for the class she also mentioned a book she would like me to do for the class. Thankfully, it was the week of Dr. Seuss week, so she had picked out Wacky Wednesday for me to read. She also mentioned if I did not want to read that one, I could choose one of my choice, but I said that it was fine, because I had never read this one and thought it’d be a good idea to do it. My mentoring teacher had a graphic organizer/reading pocket …show more content…
I will just have to remember for next time for some of those things not to take place. Just a few students walking near the camera and the promethean being on in the background was all the main distractions throughout the video was all. As I was planning my lesson, I am glad I read through the book and glanced at all the pictures, because there was one photo throughout the book that was no appropriate for their eyes. Although it was just a little boys bottom that was being shown in the bathroom scene, I still knew with third graders it would be a laughing matter and distract them from my lesson. So, I made sure before I read the story that I covered that part up really well with a sticky note so the children were not able to see it. I did hear when I played back my video that they were asking what it was, that was being covered, but I kept going and ignored what was said. Afterwards, I did see a few of the children grabbing the book to see what it was that I had covered up, children are always

    Two examples of other informal reading assessments are the Phonics Mastery Survey and Phonemic Awareness Assessments. The Phonics Mastery Survey is an informal tool for assessing various phonics elements. This assessment measures a student’s ability to recognize consonant sounds, rhyming words, consonant digraphs, long vowel sounds, words with CVC patterns, consonant blends, variant vowel sounds, and syllables in words (DeVries 2011 p.112). A student’s ability to use knowledge of sound/letter correspondences to decode words, determines his or her ability to read individual words.

    Walking into Kekionga Middle School I noticed a lot of differences from schools that I had visited previously. The most visible one being the school’s population and location. I had never observed at an urban school and have never felt such a cultural difference between me and the students. With a school population that was so diverse and not within the same background as I was, I immediately started thinking about my future teaching career and what I would do in that kind of atmosphere. I later on asked Mrs. Parker why she chose this school and said that it was because she went to Fort Wayne Community Schools all of her life, so she did not feel change at all.…

    My experience in J.P. Elder Middle School was very interesting. The first thing that made an impression on me was how the teacher talked to the students. His tone of voice was very strict and loud, but he was trying to be as helpful as he could. I feel as if he was trying to make sure they understood while making sure they kept their attention on him. But the result of the loud voice hurt my ears, and it almost made me want to zone out.…

    On the 1st day of AP English class all you heard was the clock barely ticking, sweat coming off of the teacher forehead and the students taking out paper and writing utensils to take notes on what we need. What stood out was Mrs. Fantroy’s strong voice along with the books that were shown for everyone to read that semester. The books looked like they could have come from out of ancient tombs or something. She had at least two lengthy looking books. She stated, “These are just some books for you guys to read just this semester.…

    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.

    “How Teachers Make Children Hate Reading” is a personal memoir of John Holt’s recollections of being an English teacher. Holt remembers the times when he was the teacher that made children dissect books until their minds no longer held the real meaning of them. Their minds were drilled into finding the ‘correct’ answer and moving on as fast as possible. After multiple arguments with his sister telling him his approach to teaching reading was wrong and hurting the children's love for reading, he slowly started to listen. In his memoir, Holt shows growth of being a dynamic character and his ways of teaching change alongside him.…

    Just like learning to walk or ride a bike, learning to read is one of life’s milestones. However, unlike walking and biking, reading skills are not suddenly obtained and then static throughout life. After learning to read initially, an individual’s reading skills, interests, and purposes further develop and change throughout their life. Furthermore, the means by which an individual improves their reading capabilities change over time as well. In the same way, I initially improved my reading ability and changed my interests through the help of my parents, then later my teachers, and finally, in spite of a dark period of little improvement, through my own effort.…

    I found this to be extremely violating and degrading to the students. There were some students with low grades, who had been forced to talk about it, while others were praised. The teacher would openly praise and shame the students. I honestly did not see the point in this exercise. Overall, I felt that it cultivated a negative atmosphere for the students.…
