The Importance Of Polish Instructional Supports In Schools

Decent Essays
There are a few places in my school where resource teachers provide language and reading support, as well as where they store instructional supports. As a bilingual teacher, I was especially interested in finding material supporting Polish instruction, and unfortunately my school/district does not have any Polish instructional supports, except for a few books in the library. Therefore, I have ordered high quality fiction and non-fiction books and also some, material supporting learning Polish alphabet, sounds, and basic vocabulary words which I will be able to use with my kindergarten group.
As far as English and Spanish instructional supports are concerned, the list is very long. There is an abundance of leveled books, e.g. Fountas & Pinnell

    Rodriguez grew up in a Spanish speaking family thriving and eager to expand his education and vocabulary in the “loud, booming with confidence” English language. According to Rodriguez, bilingual educationists have strong disbelief in the idea that schools should be assimilated with bilingual education because the students lack “a degree of ‘individuality’” This sense of individuality is absent in public society because often your heritage sets you apart from most others around you.…

This is significant because the more a child is exposed to a rich and dynamic library of books the better he or she has to be fluent in both reading and writing (Tompkins, 2015). It is also essential to to remember that a lack of culturally variegated texts may have an negative impact on children. I will first discuss the context that contains all the breakdown of the district, secondly the individual makeup of what my school looks like and finally represent the individual classroom demographics.…
