SL.1.1.- Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners about grade 1 topics and texts with peers and adults in small and larger groups. Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., listening to others with care, speaking one at a time about the topics and texts under discussion). Build on others’ talk in conversations by responding to the comments of others through multiple exchanges. Ask questions to clear up any confusion about the topics and texts under discussion. SL.1.6- Produce complete sentences when appropriate to task and situation. Objective: Given a word a student will be able to use a description wording by demonstrating an understanding of synonyms with 100% accuracy.

To introduce this lesson I will introduce a scenario where...

...Assignment One Reading a Strategic Plan As a volunteer radio presenter for ArtsoundFM in Canberra, I am very interested in community radio and its benefits to the local community through its varied program mix and community announcements. With this in mind, I have selected the Community Broadcasting Foundation (CBF) to evaluate their Strategic Plan. I see the benefit of this organisation, in terms of them being an “independent non-profit funding agency”, to be valuable to their stakeholders. The primary purpose of the CBF is to “solicit funds and disburse such funds for the maintenance and development of the community broadcasting sector, in an ethical and transparent manner”. These values are governed by the Community Broadcasting Code of Practice and as such, “the CBF affirms the principles of access, diversity, independence, innovation and localism.” This displays their commitment to the social justice that underpins the sectors philosophy and operation. The way that the CBF will undertake this is through a fair and equitable grant disbursement program during the period from 2005-2008. They will also work closely with the organisations in the sector, as well as funding bodies, to “maintain, increase and diversify sector funding”. If the CBF can achieve these aims, I feel confident that organisations that rely on their funding will be able to maintain their independent broadcasting ability. They will also be in a better position themselves to utilize this funding...

As it turned out, my cooperative teacher wanted me to work with this student. Originally, my cooperative teacher wanted me to work with another one of her students but, she later changed her mind on account of, the original student is frequently absent and spends a great deal of time making up assignments. Additionally, my cooperative teacher provided me with valuable background information on my student. Furthermore, through the background information that I was provided I learned that my student occasionally has a difficult time concentrating on his work. His AR level is 2.6-3.6. He is particularly eager to learn, but he frequently rushes through the class assignments. My cooperative teacher has also informed me that Alex is a part of the Jubilee program and he also receives support and intervention from the...

...the time. That is how they began to connect words to items and ideas. The stage know as beginning literacy children learn phoneme-grapheme correspondences as they begin to decode and spell words. I work with my kindergartener everyday helping her practice her sight words and singing her songs to spell her colors. The stage known as fluent literacy children have learned how to read and write and now can concentrate more on comprehension in reading and composing paragraphs in writing. 3.) Some strategies teachers use in teaching reading and writing are shared reading, the language experience approach and interactive writing. Shared reading is an interactive reading experience that occurs when students join in or share the reading of a big book or other text while guided by a teacher. Cross-aged reading buddies is another way teachers use shared reading. This is when older students are paired up with younger students to read to each other .I think this is a very effective strategy to help younger children become more confident in reading aloud. These...

...Week #4 Discussion Posts-Shandy Oldenburger I used my student that participates in Early Literacy Alternative Assessment to complete the activities and think about while reading the assigned readings. My student on the Early Literacy Alternative Assessment is a kindergartener. After the readings, I learned that my student would be considered emergent in the area of literacy. The student is at the very beginning stage of literacy, pays little attention during book readings, and has no comprehension of graphics. It is important for familiar texts to read repeatedly and give exposure to various materials dealing with literacy. I started incorporating the use of Tar Heel Reader and electronic books. I love Epic electronic books, which...

...“No skill is more crucial to the future of a child, or to a democratic and prosperous society, than literacy” (The Literacy Company. 2016). This quote could not be truer than it is in today’s world and with today’s economy being as demanding as it is. Rafael Heller tells the readers of his article, “The Scope of the Adolescent Literacy Crisis,” that a two-year college education is almost necessary for a person to get a decent paying job (2016b). Recently, reading and writing professionally have become part of the job requirements and many young adults graduating from high school fail to have the literacy skills required to fulfill these requirements. As someone who has had difficulty in the past with professional reading and writing, and as...

...Note taking is an important skill for students to learn. It provides you with the ability to be able to take a personal record of what you are reading or listening to. If we do our own note taking it means that we can provide ourselves with an accurate account, without the possibility of plagiarism. There are many forms of note taking. Linear note taking and pattern note taking are the two main ways to take notes. When I personally take notes, if I am listening to someone and I have to take notes I will write in a linear form, sequential note taking and then later change my notes to a patterned form, spider diagram, so I can make reference to them later. If I am reading, however, I usually go straight to spider diagrams as I find them easier to read at a later date. Although, on the sheet attached, by completing the note taking analysis I have learnt that I need to improve the way I take notes considerably. My time frame to complete this task is one year. My notes are badly organised, not numbered, occasionally hard to understand, I rarely abbreviate and points are not clearly laid out. However, I do write it in my own words and it is generally brief. I plan to work on these points over the next year as well as over the next four weeks. After reflecting on my note taking skills I have learnt that I need to review how I take notes. I plan on using varying ways to take notes from now on. I will vary my note taking with other forms such as mind maps and work on making them precise...

I did this by buying and collecting books to donate to the libraries that serve Turning Point Academy students in order to increase their reading opportunities and their learning environment. This project has reminded me that reading is a joy that belongs in every one’s life and should be considered a privilege more than as a right. Reading is amazing. In fact, amazing doesn’t even begin to describe how unbelievably valuable reading is in one’s life. The dictionary definition of reading is “the action or skill of reading written or printed matter silently or aloud,” (Webster’s Dictionary). This definition doesn’t adequately describe reading because it does not fully portray the valuable benefits...

My father would make numerous attempts at reading the words to me instead, only to be greeted with a shush and a shake of the head of a five year old girl. I did not desire to be read to, I did not want to read for myself, and I definitely did not want anything to do with the useless alphabet that always appeared to hold exceptions. Sadly, the world would not let me have my way, thus I was forced to use other means to avoid the unbearable...

...ARTICLES Motivating and engaging students in reading Jenna Cambria John T. Guthrie LJjdvcrsLiv û", J ou can certainly ignore motivation if you choose. But if you do, you maybe neglecting the most important part of reading. There are two sides to reading. On one side are the skills which include phonemic awareness, phonics, word recognition, vocabulary, and simple comprehension. On the other side is the will to read. A good reader has both skill and will. In the "will" part, we are talking about motivation to read. This describes children's enjoyments, their wants, and their behaviors surrounding reading. A student with skill may be capable, but without will, she cannot become a reader. It is her will power that determines whether she reads widely and frequently and grows into a student who enjoys and benefits from literacy. So we think you should care about motivation because it is the other half of reading. Sadly, it is the neglected half. Y What is motivation? Many teachers think of a motivated reader as a student who is having fun while reading. This may be true, but there are many forms of motivation that might not be related to fun and excitement. What we mean by motivation are the values, beliefs, and behaviors surrounding reading for an individual. Some productive values and beliefs may lead to excitement, yet other values may lead to determined hard work. We talk about three powerful motivations that drive students' reading. They operate in school and out of school, and...

...learning disabled students is direct instruction. Students with a learning disability may have problems with reading comprehension, oral expression, or visual perception. Direct instruction helps LD students with these aspects they struggle with. Students may not understand the question being asked in a word problem no matter how many times they read it because being able to read it does not mean they understand the material being read. If the learning disabled student is lead step by step, they won’t get lost and will be able to better comprehend the learning material. 2. Fairness in the video was defined in the video to be giving people what he or she needs and not to treat everyone the same. If LD students were taught the same way as student, who learns at a normal pace, they would not be able to keep up with the rate of the lesson. A strategy that was mentioned was the use of a one on one conference. With the use of one on one conference, the teacher can address problems observed in the class and work out compromises with the student. Teachers can also give students worksheets that are easier to understand and more straight to the point to the learning goals if he or she is struggling to keep up. 3. LD students will receive more assistance to help them get to the same learning goals as the rest of the class even if it is a slower process. Differentiated lesson plans will provide different rates of learning so that all students, including learning disabled students, will...
