Phonological awareness

In the article, “Differentiating Tier Two Self-Regulated Strategies Development in Writing in Tandem with School-wide Positive Behavioral Support (Sandmel et al., 2009), the researchers conducted two studies which examined students who were identified as at risk for behavioral difficulties and struggled with writing. The students who were a part of the study have been receiving Positive Behavioral Support (PBS). PBS is designed to prevent and respond to problem behaviors by teaching desired…

contrast that might appear in other words have not been tested. Andreeva et al (2014) and Robinson et al (1987) both focus on vowel reduction in Bulgarian. Both of the articles can contribute to the field of study by focusing on the Bulgarian phonological system with regards to the stressed and unstressed vowels, and the reduction that occurs based on the speaker’s dialect. In the research field, the participants will be from different geographical areas of Bulgaria, thus a vowel reduction…

Writing Sample #1 I would guess that this child is in kindergarten. It is obvious that the student understands some concepts of words and writing because he or she puts spaces in between words. Overall, the student also understands the words he or she needed to write to convey their idea. The words are in the correct order, and with exception of the first word, the sentence can be read easily. Looking at the word "swimming," this student has not completely grasped directional principles. The…

Emotion has a big impact on how well we are able to perform and learn. As students we don’t give enough emphasizes on the effect that emotion has on how well we can learn. Students often find themselves frustrated on the fact that they are unable to learn a certain subject, but they never stop to think why that is. In most situations it had to do with the attitude or maybe a negative emotion they might be feeling. According to David A. Sousa’s “Mind, Brain, Education,” we develop nonconsicious…

The following provides a format to compare two ELLs speech, consider if counting errors is a useful measure of proficiency, discusses the difficulty in selecting a corrective feedback approach, and summarizes an outcome for me as the educator. Rodrigo, in my opinion, exhibited a vast inconsistency of errors, not necessary more though comprehension of the listener was compromised. These identified errors are likely contributed to his low-level of proficiency and dearth of English language…

Having syntax awareness will help students with comprehension and writing. It is imperative for a fluent reader because it allows for the prediction of the next sequence of words. Having syntax awareness allows students to hear new language structures. ENL students may not be able to hear if something sounds right. When prompted if something sounds right…

classrooms. She argues that some specialists in applied linguistics – such as Bright, Koch, Ruttenberg, and Terdy (1982) – had strongly stressed that reading aloud can be beneficial for elementary levels in ESL since it helps learners develop “an awareness of sound-symbol relationships” (Griffin, 1992). She stressed that reading a loud also can help enlarge learners’ auditory understanding and familiarity with the target language, especially with unfamiliar or new lexical items. Thus, reading…

When asked what literacy was at the beginning of the semester, I thought it was simply teaching a child to read. Easy, right? I did not realize all that was involved in literacy. Literacy includes reading, writing, vocabulary, fluency, and phonemic awareness. There are also a number of assessments and observations that fall under literacy, all of which are extremely important to effectively teaching literacy to young children. I learned a lot about the different types of assessments this…

(Gardner-Neblett, N., & Gallagher, K. C., 2013) Learning process that involve musical activities develop children awareness on sounds that may help them later on with phonological awareness that relates to sounds found in speech (Activities to develop speech and language skills, 2015). 2. Music enhances physical development. Students in lessons with music are more active. Furthermore, using music throughout…

report indicated that Anderson was in the above average range in word reading, reading fluency, phonological awareness, and spelling. The verbal portion of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children revealed that my virtual child is also above average in information, vocabulary, similarities, and comprehension. This is due to his advancement in logical reasoning, analytical skills, and metalinguistic awareness (Santrock, 2016, p. 281). Anderson has always shown a passion for math so I was not…
