Reflection Paper On Sight Words

It is one of the most important strategy teachers can do with a child. Interactively reading aloud to children has them actively involved in the process. A teacher has the children asking questions and making a prediction. Shared reading helps the students build a framework to draw attention to vocabulary. This read aloud strategy should have carefully thought-out questions. For example, a shared reading activity for Chicka Chicka Boom Boom: First, point out the cover of the book. One should point to the words as you read the title, the authors, and the illustrator. According to the Resource in Early Learning, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom has a lively musical rhythm. As you read, emphasize the beat and rhythm of the words. Have the children join in the lines that repeat. It is also important to point to each letter as you read. After reading the book ask questions such as, “What happens when all the letter get to the top of the tree” or “Let’s count the

Addison needs to develop automaticity in identifying sight words. The data collected indicates several of her

This is a 1st grade class made up of 12 first grade students. There are 7 Girls and 5 Boys. There is 1 male student with general academic IEP that covers all subjects as well as 1 male and 1 female student that have speech IEPs. The classroom is arranged in table seating with a large carpeted area in the front of the classroom for group learning. This lesson will be taught in a group setting at the carpet.

For an example I give a child a book to look at, sit with her and read the words with her. I let her say the word first and if she doesn’t know it I will discuss it, let her say it, talk about it and then move onto the next. Then maybe a few days later sit with the same book and again encourage her to say the words, if she get stuck on the same words again then remind her how we discussed it before.

Beginning with the second grade form A list, Lauren was able to recite each of the words effortlessly under a second. The fluent behavior allowed for all twenty of the words to be added to her personal list of sight words. Demonstrating a command of high- frequency words, she was able to quickly recognize the dolche words displayed on the list. Indicated by her score of twenty out of twenty, second grade is

In duet reading, a stronger reader is paired with a less-fluent reader. The stronger reader sets the pace and provides visual tracking by moving his or her finger below each word as it is read in unison. In audio-recorded books, the student reads aloud with an audio-recorded version of a book. The purpose is to encourage the weaker reader to read along with the tape. In echo reading, the adult reads a short passage and then invites the child to “Say what I say” or “Copy me,” encouraging the child to repeat what the adult has read (Robertson & Davig, 2002). In this way, the adult models fluent reading and then provides the child with an opportunity for immediate practice. In paired reading, children who are struggling with reading fluency are paired up with a more capable reader. In this strategy, the fluent reader and reader take turns reading by lines or pages (Mathes, Fuchs, Fuchs, Henley, & Sanders, 1994).

We will assess this skill using The Phonological Awareness Profile by Robertson and Salter, a criterion-referenced assessment (1995). Criterion-referenced assessments are not used to compare students’ performance with each other, but rather to evaluate the student’s mastery in a specified subject. Such tests are designed to provide information for instruction as well. Only the phonological awareness subtest will be administered to Chloe. This subtest has the following tasks: rhyming, segmentation, isolation, deletion, substitution, and blending. The tasks are composed of the following:

The reason I conclude this is because I was unable to read the book in less than ten minutes with emotion. Though I manipulated the ‘I do, we do, you do’ strategy, I was incapable of properly using the strategy. Because I have never utilized the ‘I do, we do, you do’ strategy, it was challenging to carry out. What I think would benefit me for future read aloud lessons would be to create my own detailed lesson plan. Also, for future read aloud lessons, I must practice at least a week in advance before I teach, because the time frame in which I had to get prepared was

Operation Verbal Image is an exercise based on command and control. It used many leaders who used command and control to accomplish their assigned mission. This command and control shaped the battlefield and took the fight to the enemy. This paper will discuss, how important command and control is, what is command and control, what does command and control do, and command and control in the information age. This paper will also discuss how command and control was used, how it affected the outcome of the battle, and my personnel opinions on how command and control could have been done differently.

Based on the outcomes from Day 2, what can you determine regarding the effectiveness of instruction of the group lesson and rotations/center activities? The second lesson was taught using a guided reading approach and the class discussed important text features that were present in the passage they were to read on their own. I had high objectives for students since the answers to the formative were covered during the guided reading activity. Still, there were students who did not meet my objective, even though all the grades improved Based on the spreadsheet, the students that did not meet the objective are individuals I pull during independent reading for support or struggle with staying on task. Students may benefit from a friendly reminder to stay on task or have the questions read to them to ensure they know what the questions are asking them. The students who meet the objective benefited from the guided reading practice and will do well utilizing the same skills they learned in center 2 and 3.

On another day, i was able to work with four-year-old John. With John, i decided to use alphabet flashcards. I chose to use flashcards because his teacher, Mrs.Bogue, briefly explained to me that john is able to recognize letters. John did well with recalling the letters as I flashed the cards to him .However, when I asked him to write a letter down without the card in front of him he struggled. John could not write the letter without a visual guide. In my opinion, john needs help in memorization. Later that week I was able to work with a little girl named Tina. Mrs. Bogue had mentioned that Tina is a great drawer and struggles with her words. I wanted to hear for myself how well Tina spoke. So I decided to use the print out drawings again.

The words ranged from simple words like "a" to more complex words like "number". For this assessment, I printed the sight words onto bigger cards and I laid them out for J.R. Her job was to read the words that were listed. If she read them correctly and without hesitation then she got it correct. However, if she had to spell out the word or if she hesitated for a long period of time then I marked it wrong because she is supposed to recognize them right away. J.R. did fairly well on this assessment. She was able to recognize 88 sight words out of 100. I recognized that the words that she got wrong were the harder sight words. The second assessment that I completed with J.R. was the spelling inventory assessment. For this assessment, I gave J.R. a simple spelling test. I would say the word to her and include the word in a sentence. As I did this, J.R. wrote the words down. This assessment was given to see if J.R. could hear and write the constants (initial and final), the short vowels, digraphs, blends, and common long vowels that appear in the words that were given. This was one of the assessments that J.R. struggled with. She spelled most of the words wrong and she had trouble identifying digraphs and blends in words. The third assessment that I conducted was the phonemic awareness assessment. This assessment tested skills such as rhyming, phoneme isolation, oral blending, oral segmentation, and

The objective in lesson 1, we can see does not only broaden their understanding by introducing a new word and its meaning, but also demonstrates how this can become a stimulus for dance creation. As with lesson 2 they learn to use every day movements as a starting point for movement design and this is continued in lesson 3

Writing has always been something I dread. It’s weird because I love talking and telling stories, but the moment I have to write it all down on paper, I become frantic. It’s almost as if a horse race just begun in my mind, with hundreds of horses, or words, running through my mind, unable to place them in chronological order. Because I struggle to form satisfying sentence structure, it takes me hours, sometimes even days, to write one paper. It’s not that I think I’m a “bad writer,” I just get discouraged easily. Needless to say, I don’t think highly of my writing skills. When I was little I loved to both read and write. I read just about any book I could get my hands on, and my journal was my go to for my daily adventures. Although it’s

After the completion of these assessments, Lucy’s reading skills continuously improve by practicing reading strategies for word study that begin at the transitional long vowel patterns within word patterns stage. Word Study strategies should start as a teacher-directed two-step sort that examines the CVC,
