Thump Quack Moo A Whacky Adventure

Decent Essays
For my session two with Walker I used the same book Thump, Quack, Moo: A Whacky Adventure by Doreen Cronin. I read through the book myself while he followed along with his finger. After we would read one page I would go back and ask him to read along with me. I told him to talk just like the animals would. He thought this was a lot of fun. I picked out two sentences in the story for Walker to try to read by himself for my assessment. I checked the words he got wrong. He got most of the sight words that he should know correct.

    The reading case that I will be using for this artifact showcases my capability to make wise decisions about what should be taught and how it should be taught, according to the educational needs of a student. By participating in this case study, I recognized and evaluated the needs of one particular student, in tier II of the RTI process, who was falling behind and not meeting the educational goals set for Kindergarteners in the State of Georgia.

As a member of the RTI team at my school, my job was to help the Kindergarten teachers with reading intervention, strategies, lesson activities,…

    Learning to read is a skill many can obtain quickly or not so well. Myself, on the other hand was one of the many children who struggled with not only the thought of reading, but the actual process of reading not only a book, but sentences, word and sounding out words. Struggling through elementary with reading problems and on and off again help made it seem even worse. Going into kindergarten was intimidating, with all the bright colored posters with words even I couldn’t read. Having to be assigned seats next to strangers who soon would become my closest friends.…

    The first phase of sight word development consists of the pre-alphabetic phase. Ehri (1995) stated that during this phase, "beginners remember how to read words by forming connections between selected visual attributes of words and their pronunciations or meanings and storing these associations in memory" (p. 118). Children at this phase have not advanced any alphabet knowledge. Instead, children can read sight words by memorizing the visual signals around or in the word (Gaskin, Ehri, Cress, O'Hara & Donnelly, 1997). 2.6.2 Partial Alphabetic Phase…
