Five Areas of Reading Instruction The five areas of reading instruction are essential to the learning process that all children must go through to become well educated in their lives as adults. Teachers/Instructors use Bloom’s Taxonomy and/or Webb’s DOK (Depth of Knowledge), when grading or challenging students in their levels of thinking. In 1956, Bloom’s Taxonomy consisted of levels of thinking, that are as follows: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, Evaluation. Bloom’s six categories were changed from noun to verb forms in the new version which was developed in the 1990’s so that it could be released to the educators …show more content…
Going this direction with my class presentation seemed to be the most understandable way to go since I am most familiar with using the Bloom’s Taxonomy method of learning/educating compared to the Depth of Knowledge. Bloom’s Taxonomy is mainly used as a tool for teacher planning the lessons that they are going to teach because it helps teachers with the planning of the lesson since it uses the verb stems that correlate with the cognitive (thinking) level for the lesson. This is where my comment about the new version of Bloom’s Taxonomy is easier to understand and comprehend. When using Webb’s Depth of Knowledge, it focuses more on the cognitive or thinking level of the lessons or activities for the lesson and it has fewer steps/stages …show more content…
Phonics is in the application stage on the Bloom’s Taxonomy pyramid.

The activity that I chose to do for this in my presentation was also incorrect or not fully right. I chose another activity, that I was planning on doing something similar with my daughter, for teaching about phonics. This activity is called Silent Night, to match the season that we are currently in. In this activity, the students will need to be able to identify and decode silent letter pattern. This activity has two separate parts to it, first you put the picture/word cards under the correct heading on another piece of paper. The next step is to complete an attached worksheet that has the same sort of application type problems on
