Guided Reading (8:00) (Group 1 & 2) [Introduction] At the beginning of the lesson, only the teacher has a copy of the book. 1. Remind students of behavior expectations: Listen while others are talking Wait your turn to speak Keep your hands and feet to yourselves…
In the future, reading on Sunday nights instead of Monday's is what needs to happen. Staying two steps ahead in class is very rewarding. We can do this by reading as soon as the facilitator posts our next assignment. I plan to stay a week ahead for all the other units in this class and in the future. There is nothing like staying ahead and not having to worry about finishing up at this last minute.…
The goal of a guided reading lesson is for the students to develop strategies they can apply for independent reading. It focuses on more than just the process of reading proficiently but allows for cross checking print and making meaning from the text (Gagen, 2007). The significant benefits of guided reading are establishing fundamental skills necessary for proficient reading, identifying weakness and strengths, improving attention to detail, building fluency, expanding vocabulary and developing reading comprehension. Guided reading is one of the most effect tools of improving the fundamental reading skills and developing a higher level of comprehension (Miller-Burkins, 2010). Rada, Jean, Sophia and Thomas would have definitely developed confidence in their literacy skills and further developed them throughout this lesson by using the guided reading, comprehension strategies and the four recourse model.…
1. Explain the importance of oral language. What is the role of read-alouds for ELLS in the grade level that you teach? As Appendix A describes, oral language is important since it precedes and is the foundation for written language development.…
It is easy for a student to get off track when they are rushing through. If the student can focus on keeping their finger directly under the word being read, it will help them keep their place and set a pace. In the future, to help her slow down her reading, I would give her a minimum goal time. For example, I would practice beforehand to estimate an appropriate time for the passage. I would tell her she has to make the passage last for at least a specific number of minutes, otherwise she will know she is reading too fast.…
In Jean-Luc Nancy’s text “Listening”, Nancy discusses the concept of listening and how it relates to philosophy. Originally published in French and translated into English by Charlotte Mandell, Mandell discusses in the first section of the text how difficult it was to convey and translate Nancy’s message into English. In Luce Irigaray’s text “Listening, Thinking, Teaching”, she discusses the idea of translation and how difficult it can be to translate properly. On page 232 of her text, Irigaray states “words are endowed with another meaning in each language” (Irigaray 232). Because each word has a different meaning in each language, errors often occur when words are translated.…
The first strategy that Miss Jones can use is the interactive read aloud. According to Freeman and Freeman (2006) “effective teachers read aloud to their students every day whether they are kindergarten teachers or high school teachers” (p. 132). When teachers are reading aloud they model the process of reading to the English Language Learners on how to read in English from left-to-right and up and down. If Miss Jones read aloud to her students, it will give her new student the opportunity to gain reading fluency and comprehension skills. During the read aloud Miss Jones can do frequent pauses for her ELLs and break the text down into parts to check for students understanding throughout the text reading.…
For students that finish their assignment early, they will be reading out of their independent reading book until the rest of the class has completed their assignment as…
Even from reading from plays parts, short readings, even a paragraph. Those are types of reading stuff that I don’t like. Like in my English 3 class at Fort. We just finished the movie, “The Crucible”. Tremendous play and movie.…
I have been observing a Spanish 1 class at Faith Christian School. For the teaching lesson, I chose to use a reader called Asi Leemos. It is a reader that the school purchased two years ago to try and improve reading comprehension. The reader is broken up in three units that follow the vocabulary and grammar lessons that are typical to a level 1 classroom. The reader is a collection of chapters that tell about two high school students.…

I am exploring, in a group of college students with learning difficulties the following questions: 1) What do these students do when they read? 2) What are their beliefs about reading as a tool for academic success? and 3) What they belief about themselves as readers.…
The first will occur during our read aloud when I ask the students to turn and talk after the mini lesson. This turn and talk will allow me to monitor the student’s thinking. As they discuss the questions presented with a partner, I am able to walk around and make observations about this discussion. If I notice that students are not properly demonstrating the skill, once the discussion is over, I may ask a student that properly discussed the skill share what they said with the entire class. I will then remind the students how to properly make an inference and address any misconceptions.…
The ability to read is not the only required for academic success but the ability to comprehend the reading material and think critically. To successfully have comprehension, there must be a method that organizes the information gathered from the text in away that fits the reader’s world knowledge (Alfassi, 2009, p. 540). This could be considered to be an active reader, due to the fact that they relate previous knowledge to the new content they are reading. Actively putting resources together. Dialogic reading has a prompt that encourages this.…
5 mins. To use to whole language approach as a TESLO teaching method to teach business professionals I would focus on the reading&writing-side of learning. This is to achieve frequent reading, reading and writing for business purposes, business analysis and researches. Based on the fact the most business professional would already have some understanding of English and they are familiar of the basic knowledge of reading and writing in their own language, I would make the learning process and contents literature-based.…
