Reading and writing are intertwined. It is important that you do not separate the two in therapy. Thus, my ideal therapy will focus on a reading and writing portion.
Meaning-based strategies are contrastive, recurrent, embedded, active, and meaningful (CREAM). Meaning that emphasis will be on the actual reading, focus will be on the meaning during all readings, accuracy is not a priority, focus will be on strategies to construct meaningfulness, numerous opportunities of modeling, and the clinician will serve as a more competent model (D’amico, Lynch, & Tetnowski).
Some examples of meaning based strategies are think alouds, incorporating background knowledge, making predictions, re-reading, and making meaningful substitutions. Think alouds,

The clinician will ask the client’s parents open-ended questions to gather information about the client from their perspective.
b. The clinician will clarify information found in the case history forms.
c. The clinician will audio record the interview.
B. The clinician will assess the client’s reading abilities
a. The clinician will use Goodman’s (1987) Miscue Analysis to document the client’s use of meaning-based strategies during reading.
b. The clinician will obtain a retell of reading sample.
c. The clinician will audio record the session.
C. The clinician will assess the client’s current writing abilities
a. The clinician will obtain two writing samples
b. The clinician will give the client a topic to write about for one sample.
c. The clinician will ask the client to write about anything he wants for the second sample.
d. The samples will be analyzed in accordance with Ruptic’s (1994) Emergent Writing Development Approach
Example Goals:
1. The client will increase use of meaning-based strategies during shared reading. Meaning-based strategies such as think alouds, incorporating background knowledge and making predictions, as well as re-reading, and making meaningful substitutions in order to improve
This study followed three procedures: (1) the Burke Reading Interview (BRI) (Burke, 1987), (2) a Reading Miscue Inventory (RMI) (Goodman, 1973b), and (3) a Retrospective Miscue Analysis (RMA) (Goodman, Y. & Marek, 1996). In the forthcoming sections, I will explain in detail the protocols required for each of these procedures.
To effectively provide health care services to my patients, I undertake to listen to issues raised by patients and their relatives. During the process of interacting with my clients I will first of all introduce myself to
The literacy block should consist of a balance of whole-group, small-group, and independent practice. Tyner states, “The challenge in orchestrating the literacy block can be best described as putting together a literacy jigsaw puzzle.” (Tyner,2009). The components of a balanced literacy block should include modeled reading such as a read-aloud which should include texts above the students’ reading level, modeled writing so that teachers have the opportunity to demonstrate how a writer thinks while writing about a text, shared reading which includes the teacher reading most of the text but also allows the students to engage in choral reading with grade-level appropriate texts, shared writing to be used to focus on comprehension but may include the writing process as long as it is used together, small-group differentiated reading and writing, and independent reading and writing so that students can use the skills learned previously to produce a final product.
I teach fourth grade language arts where my main focus is to prepare my students to write a personal narrative for the Nebraska State Writing Test in January. Reading and writing are intertwined in my area of professional responsibility as I motivate my students to write a well-organized, creative personal narrative. As I have taught writing, I have found reading, writing, speaking, and listening go hand in hand when composing a personal narrative (Bruning, 2011, p. 299).
At the beginning, some of AB’s good reading behaviors included rereading when the text did not make sense and commenting about what he read. Some of AB’s reading behaviors that were not as effective included skipping words and substituting words that resulted in a loss of meaning. In these moments, AB would not go back and correct.
1. Assessing the client for treatment is a very important part of every client’s appointment. It ensures that the client is made to feel special and is also mandatory for insurance purposes. What is imperative is the type of information gathered. A full client consultation should be specific and detailed with the following important information.
REAL reading strategies can be used to remind students of how to read informational text. The strategies are:
Ask open-ended questions: In order to get enough information about the patient’s diagnosis, it’s advisable to ask the open-ended questions. This is because Chinese are believed to communicate indirectly and rarely say no. Thus, open-ended questions are the best way of collecting information.
Firstly prior to the consultation, Dr Alrose considered the setting of the room to facilitate patient comfort by removing barriers that may hinder the information sharing process. The patient is welcomed into the room friendly and warmly whilst he introduced himself to establish initial rapport. In the consultation, Dr Alrose frequently summarized information to signify with the patient that he has listened to them. To gather information on the purpose of the consultation he began with an open ended question without interrupting allowing the patient time to state their agenda and formulate their next
According to Fineout-Overholt & Stillwell (2015), it is key that the clinician communicates a well-formed clinical question effectively, thereby, achieving the maximum amount of relevant information in an abridged amount of time. Therefore, in order to accomplish this, one must utilize the components recommended in our text to formulate a clear and concise clinical question. The first step, is to determine what clinical issue is creating a conundrum in your practice. Second, is the ability to describe the questions in an style that is straightforward. The tutorial, Find it Fast #2: The clinical question from Yale University (n.d.) covers two types of clinical questions such as "background" or "foreground" questions, which will lead the clinician
When conducting interviews it can be grouped into two ways, by structured diagnostic interviews and clinical interviews. Interviews with a young person’s parent can be very beneficial in that it can determine the usual interactions that occur between the
Reading comprehenison is an essential compontent to reading. Altough, students with literacy challenges often times lack the strategies need to effectivily comprhend the material they read. Several key components to readng comprehension include applying background knoweldge, asking questions of self and text, summarizing, monitorying understanding and looking to clarify information. Once students with liteacy challenges learn the strategy they struggle with knowing when to use it, if its effective and adapitng to meet their needs.
For example, she she could have had the student practice the definition of a compound word and also had her use sticky notes or develop a list of compound words as she came across them during her independent reading. This would have matched the conferencing skills as Ms. Hawkins had been working with on identifying what a compound word was. In general, all of the instructional activities were appropriate and most students appeared to be cognitively engaged as demonstrated by their turning pages as they read and their participation in the conferencing. Ms. Hawkins and planned and implemented differentiated instruction during her conference time with the student three students based on their individual needs to further their independent level of reading. The instructional materials and resources used for conferencing were appropriate and Ms. Hawkins shared that the IRLA resources for the conferencing were beneficial. As indicated earlier, the order of the activities (whole group accountable talk share prior to partner share) was not appropriate and Ms. Hawkins needs to consider this when implementing her
Reading comes as the second commandment, you write first and then you read, and the more you read what you write, the more you get better in writing.
Reading is a part of our everyday living. It is a “master piece of art”, a skill that we should cherish and share with others. It is a cognitive process of figuring out a symbols in order to construct or derived meaning. Reading is also a process of communicating and interacting with others. It is a means of obtaining language and sharing information. It is said to be one of the ways that can lead to a better future. It requires continuous practice, development and clarification. In addition, it also requires creativity and critical analysis. For the readers, they also use different strategies to assist with understanding and comprehension. They may use the context clues to identify the meaning of unknown or unfamiliar words.
