Assessment for Student Learning Task One Our instructional setting consists of eighteen second grade students. One student joins us for ten minute intervals throughout the day for social interaction. In the classroom, there are two English Language Learners. One student does not need to be pulled out for extra help, while the other one gets pulled out to receive extra help in math and reading. There are currently four students who are below level learners in reading. Two of those students are reading
future success of all students hinges upon their ability to become proficient readers. Recent scientific studies have allowed us to understand more than ever before how literacy develops, why some children have difficulty, and what constitutes best instructional practice. Scientists now estimate that fully 95 percent of all children can be taught to read. Yet, in spite of all our knowledge, statistics reveal an alarming prevalence of struggling and poor readers that is not limited to any one segment of
There is evidence that alphabetic knowledge in writing has connections to letter and word identification skills in preschool. (Molfese, Beswick, Jacobi-Vessels, Armstrong, Culver, 2011) Another positive improvement, aside from student effects, is instructional effects. There is improved name writing and spelling due to all the repetition. (Puranik & Apel, 2010) Topics preschoolers could write about: notes, letters, shopping lists, stories, and so many other types of writing. (Strasser & Koeppel, 2008)

instruction; however, phonics is quickly falling into the ideological quagmire of the past two decades. Despite this ideology, phonics remains an easily understood method of instruction. As stated in the previous section, phonics relies upon phonemes or units of speech. Many of today’s phonics curricula, like Flesch’s approach, include the 200 letter-to-letter relationships that represent these phonemes. The relationship of phonemes to each other, then, leads the learner to the other phonics concepts: segmentation
S. schools, increasing from 6% in 1970 to 16% in 1995 and 19% in 1997 (Ruiz de Velasco & Fix, 2000). While their numbers have increased, English language learners (ELLs) lag significantly behind their fluent English-speaking peers in reading. For example, in California, ELLs participating in statemandated standardized testing performed worse
CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS OF DISABILITY The contemporary conception of disability proposed in the WHO International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) views disability as an umbrella term for impairments, activity limitations and participation restrictions.
