Part 1: Supporting ELL Students
What are some strategies you use to teach foundational reading skills (concepts of print, phonological awareness, phonics and fluency) to ELLs?
I would start with exploring books by showing them the front of the book, the middle of the book and the back of the book. Then I would tell the children to read the book from left to right. We would talk about sounds and phonics can be taught by sounding out the words that they read in print as they read their emotions will come out. When learning concepts of the print of reading. You read the book from front to back. You have got to remember to read from left to right. Make it clear to the children that they read the book from top to bottom. You got also got to remind the children that they need to space their letters and words when they are writing. It is also important for phonological awareness. Make sure to explain to the children that sometimes those words are words or can be rhyming words. It might help to explain to the children that
you can clap to understand the syllables of the words. I think it
is important to show them words that have the same beginning sounds and then get them to show me words with the same beginning sounds. When we use visual aids to help children sound out words and use correct wording. Helping children to learn phonics is an important part of learning.
Using visual aids helps children to identify vowels by showing it to them in writing. When you chunk words means by showing and taking words apart in small parts then putting them together to make a big word. Another thing you can try is a ladder of words that by chance of one letter can create another word such as bat, cat, pat and sat. Then you also want
to make sure to review and repetition in good to learn phonic sounds.
What strategies do you use for vocabulary development and student practice?
It is helpful to use worksheets that help match pictures with their words. I find it useful to have site words that can be challenging which the children can think outside of the box. There are children who might mature faster and need to go to the next level of sight words to help them learn words they might not use every day.
What are some strategies you use to teach the elements of language (phonetics, phonology, morphology, lexicon, semantics, syntax, and pragmatics) to ELLs?
This gives children time to have individual reading time. The children take time and their turn to read as a group. It is important to have the children to read and write about what they have just read. As a teacher you should give them a pre-
writing strategy. After they do their pre- writing you should

have them do post writing strategies which are expected when
they write. After they do their writing, you should ask questions based on what they read. How do you respond to Intervention (RTI) or Multitiered Systems of Support (MTSS) in ELL instruction?
By using the RTI and MTSS in class makes sure the children understand and receive the instruction needed to succeed. I think it helps to identify which children with the material and those who understand. There are five components of the first tier that are in making sure that the reading instructions are met. The next group is the small group, or the second tier is in making sure that the individual needs are met. The last one is an indirect group that concentrates on instruction in a small group. When English isn’t a child’s first language the RTI tool can be used to help a child even if the program is not the problem.
In your classroom what strategies do you use for ELL’s or ELS?
Mrs. Elizabeth told me that she tries to speak slowly and distinctly when talking. Mrs. Elizabeth uses visual aids, like flash cards and a smartboard when needed. Mrs. Elizabeth also gives out spelling words each week as well, as they must look up the meaning of the words and use it in a sentence. Lastly, she pairs the children when they are doing a reading
assignment. So, they can help each other out the words they don’t know.
How do you get your parents involved in their child’s learning process? Mrs. Elizabeth uses google classroom to keep her children’s parents informed of their child’s progress and if they need to complete another assignment. She can send messages through
google classroom. She also has parent conferences throughout
the year as well to speak to the parents about the year as well as to speak to the parents about where their child might need help.
Part 2: Plan and Reflection
I spent my observation time at A&A Christian Academy with Mrs. Elizabeth’s classroom. When Mrs. Elizabeth started her lesson. She would ask questions about the assignment to see if the children understood what they was suppose to do in the assignment. Sometime children get off track or get distracted and the teacher has to redirect them to get them back on task.
(Like I have with this assignment) After the assignment was given the children was allowed to buddy up with another child
or they could do the assignment alone. When given the assignment a timer was set in the smart board, so the class knew just how long they had to do the assignment. If they did not get the assignment done they were allowed to continue to
the assignment. If they needed to move on to do something else, they could come back and finish the assignment later. Mrs. Elizabeth also walked around and if any of the children needed help it would give them a chance to ask a question.
I truly believe that when I become a teacher all this information that I have learned from my mentor Mrs. Elizabeth will help a lot. All my ELL children using flash cards and worksheets are what I think will help the best. I also see firsthand that unless the children were super smart, that the children with the buddy system did the best. It also helps the others, the ELL children, learn more of the English language if they are paired up with an English-speaking child. I noticed that there is all kinds of books available for them to read and a
set program where they get points for passing the test over the books they read. When they reach a certain number of points, they then will get to level up and choose a prize from the prize box. Learning the native language of my children can maybe help my ELL children learnto speak English.
