...Running head: READING COMPREHENSION STRATIEGES Reading Comprehension Strategies Kimberly A. Rossetti Grand Canyon University EED 470 – Curriculum, Methods, and Assessment: Literacy and Language Arts K-3 March 14, 2012 Reading Comprehension Strategies Studies reveal that teaching and instruction utilizing illustrative or visual organizers and templates that are representational, portray associations or connections among concepts. Presenting such graphic matrices as an introduction primes students to commence their learning processes toward a forthcoming educator instruction or assignment (Jitendra & Gajria, 2011). The following will review various graphic organizers, charts, and matrices that can be implemented for further development of reading comprehension. In addition, a summary will follow the illustrative pictorial of lesson introduction that provides an explanation regarding the implementation or utilization considering that particular comprehension example of focus. Beginning / Middle / End Beginning / Middle / End Summary: Using the Hamburger Model diagram will assist students to beef up their writing skills and promote or increase their focus on details while reading. The paragraph hamburger is a composing or authoring tool that will assist young writers to pictorially summarize important or main elements of a passage.

...Effectiveness of the Social Studies Solutions at Harnett Central High School Jerry L. Sarchet, Jr. Education 622: Research April 24, 2007 Abstract Overwhelming evidence in numerous studies demonstrated the value of student performance linked with their ability to take and review notes. Teachers have sought the best way to provide notes for student. In 2006, Harnett County Schools adopted an alternative approach to note taking and instructional delivery called the Social Studies Solutions. It was found that the Social Studies Solutions enhanced the Civics and Economics End of Course Test results by implanting the new instructional delivery and method of note taking for students. Introduction In the game of high stakes testing in the classroom, teachers are judged on their ability to help students pass standardized tests. Teacher autonomy on material taught has slowly dwindled away in North Carolina with the Standard Course of Study. Teachers must teach their subject within guidelines set by the state. Additionally, teacher discretion on a child’s knowledge is reduced with the standardized tests that decide if a child has received a “sound, basic education (Brief History of the Leandro Case, 2007).” Standardized tests have become essential to insure all children learn the same material in accordance with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. Additionally, schools are evaluated upon their ability to help students pass said exams. Their performances on...

The authors of the case study, Strattman and Hodson, discuss the effects of expressive phonological impairments on literacy development, including effects on phonological awareness skills, decoding, and vocabulary. Think through and describe how phonological speech sound errors would/could affect each of these three areas. (You might need to look up the definitions of “phonological awareness” and “decoding.”) • Phonological awareness: This aspect of literacy requires the understanding and knowledge of the relationship between graphemes and phonemes. If a child has a phonological impairment, they are not likely to be able to identify and manipulate the sounds through tasks such as rhyming or syllable/sound segmentation. • Decoding: This...

...results include improved academic achievement, improved behavior and attendance, increased self-confidence and motivation, and increased liking of school and classmates. Cooperative learning is also relatively easy to implement and is inexpensive. HOW DOES IT WORK? Here are some typical strategies that can be used with any subject, in almost any grade, and without a special curriculum: Group Investigations are structured to emphasize higher-order thinking skills such as analysis and evaluation. Students work to produce a group project, which they may have a hand in selecting. STAD (Student Teams-Achievement Divisions) is used in grades 2-12. Students with varying academic abilities are assigned to 4- or 5-member teams in order to study what has been initially taught by the teacher and to help each reach his or her highest level of achievement. Students are then tested individually. Teams earn certificates or other recognition based on the degree...

Retelling is the ability to read or listen to a story, then summarize it in paraphrased form. Children begin learning the basics of retelling in kindergarten where teachers start to informally assess the students' overall understanding of a story. Retelling is a useful assessment tool throughout school because it can measure simple to advanced comprehension, as well as help the students improve their listening and speaking skills. Instructions 1. Review retelling strategy. Model it again for those who may struggle. Read a short story aloud to the class, then summarize the important details in the correct sequence. Write each summarizing statement on chart paper. Number the statements so students understand how to retell in the order that events happened. 2. Choose an instructional level text, like a short story from...

...This notion of individualized learning styles has gained widespread recognition in education theory and management strategies. One of the most accepted understandings of learning styles is that the individual learning styles fall into three categories : 2. Auditory learning : Auditory learners best understand new content through participating, listening and speaking in situations, such as lectures or group discussions. 2.

...VARK: A Guide to Learning Styles Analysis Paper Cynthia Miller Grand Canyon University: NRS-429V February 7, 2016 VARK: A Guide to Learning Styles Analysis Paper “The term “learning styles” speaks to the understanding that every student learns differently. Technically, an individual’s learning style refers to the preferential way in which the students absorbs, processes, comprehends, and retains information,” (Teach, 2016). There are many learning style assessments that have emerged. One in particular, the VARK learning model, developed by Neil Fleming and Colleen Mills, consists of four categories. VARK stands for Visual, Auditory/Aural, Read/Write, and Kinaesthetic. The VARK assessment and outcomes focus on the ways in which people like facts provided to them and the ways in which they prefer to deliver their communication. The questions are based on situations where there are choices and decisions about how that communication might take place, (Vark, 2016). The author of this paper, which we will call Subject C, completed the 16 question VARK exam. This paper will confabulate and analyze the results of this VARK questionnaire based upon the responses of Subject C. Summary and Analysis of Learning Style The following are the scores of Subject C upon completion of the VARK questionnaire: Visual 8, Auditory/Aural 8, Read/Write 12, Kinaesthetic 8. Read/Write earned the highest score of a 12, followed by a three way tie with Visual, Auditory/Aural, and Kinaesthetic...
