The phonemic awareness assessment assesses students on segmentation and blend of phonemes. The assessment also includes alphabet recognition and letter sound identification. It can be given as a pre and post assessment as well. ]]> 2016-09-23 01:20:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/125895713 Phonics Dance jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/127696811 This dance is a great alternative way to teach students sounds and blends. It is great for students who are more musical and movement learners. Also it helps ELL students learn phonics in a more fun way. ]]> 2016-10-01 20:51:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/127696811 Phonemic Awareness jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141739288 Phonemic awareness is the ability of students to be able to hear, identify, and manipulate the individual sounds. This is a very important a skill that students should be able to do, because these skills help the students spell and also improve reading comprehension. The students should develop skills of phonemic awareness by blending, phonemic segmentation(first isolation, last isolation and completion).]]> 2016-12-05 14:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141739288 Phonemic Awareness jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141740289 Ms.Marisa models different lessons/activities on phonemic awareness.]]> 2016-12-05 14:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141740289 Phonics jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141744045 This a great chart to put on a classroom wall.

It is the connection between graphemes and sounds. It relies on the students' understanding of sounds and recognizing letters that correspond with the given sound. Letters stay the same, however, sounds come out in different units such as: syllables, onsets, rimes, and phonemes.]]> 2016-12-05 14:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141752818 Fluency jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141841886 Fluency is the speed, accuracy, and prosody that a person uses when reading a text. When a student is able to decode, express, and comprehend a text the student displays fluency. However, if the student struggles with one action it can result in struggling with other actions, which can makes the student lose understanding of the text.]]> 2016-12-05 18:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141841886 Fluency jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141842584 The teacher in the video uses guided practice for fluency reading.

It is research-based, professionally energized, highly targeted, scaffolded reading instruction that propels all students toward confident, independent reading of high quality grade level books across a diverse array of literature and informational genres. Reading well means reading with deep, high quality comprehension and gaining maximum insight or knowledge from each source."]]> 2016-12-05 18:45:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141843919 comprehension strategies jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141847599 Comprehension strategies are very important to teach. Students need to be able to think from simple to complex. These strategies are made to have students think in higher order thinking. The Key Comprehension Strategies are:
+ Activating and Using Background knowledge
+ Generating and Asking questions
+ Making Inferences
+ Predicting
+ Summarizing 
+Visualizing 
+ Comprehension Monitoring ]]> 2016-12-05 18:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141847599 Comprehension strategies jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141848489 2016-12-05 18:58:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141848489 Reading workshops jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141850932 Reading workshop are important like writing workshops. This is where students are developing vocabulary and comprehension. The reading workshop is the same process as the writing process, but instead of writing the students are reading. This specific teacher has 5 choices when conducting a reader's workshop. The choices are:
  • read to self
  • read to someone
  • listen to reading
  • work on writing
  • word work

Why? Because an alphabetic orthography maps speech to print at the level of the phoneme. In other words, users of an alphabetic written system record the smallest units of sound of their spoken language in print." ]]> 2016-12-05 22:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141901686 Phonics jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141902482 According to LA Times, "[Jeannie Chall] believed 'Learning to Read' was unequivocal in stating the case for phonics: 'At every level tested--kindergarten through college--letter and phonics knowledge is positively associated with reading achievement and also spelling,' she wrote. 'At the college level, particularly among poor readers, knowing sound values of letters has an important relationship to reading ability.'" ]]> 2016-12-05 23:02:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141902482 Fluency jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141903556 According to E.

Read Alouds is where the students read aloud and build on their fluency.
Shared Reading is an interactive reading experience that occurs when students join in or share the reading of a book or other text while guided and supported by a teacher.
Independent reading is when the students choose their own text to read quietly. ]]> 2016-12-05 23:19:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141903846 Read Alouds jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141904113 This video displays some great strategies for read alouds. The teacher uses expression and emphasize vocabulary terms when reading. Also, she uses some pre, during, and post questions while conducting the read aloud. ]]> 2016-12-05 23:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141904113 Comprehension Strategies jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141904361 This video engages students learning about comprehension strategies in a more interactive activity. ]]> 2016-12-05 23:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141904361 Vocabulary Development jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141904667 2016-12-05 23:30:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141904667 Developing Vocabulary jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141905040 Children learn to communicate by speaking and listening. In order to make a transition to communicating through reading and writing, they need a large vocabulary and effective decoding skills. This article explains the importance of developing vocabulary and some different strategies that can be used in the classroom.]]> 2016-12-05 23:35:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141905040 Independent reading jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141905239 By students reading independently can improve students vocabulary and fluency. This gives a chance for students to choose what texts they want to read and enjoy reading. So by having a library in a classroom can improve students reading. Also it is important to note that there should be different levels of reading noticeable in the library, because sometimes a book that is too difficult for a student can lead them not wanting to read. ]]> 2016-12-05 23:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141905239 Shared Reading jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141905431 The teacher uses some great tools while conducting shared reading.  ]]> 2016-12-05 23:40:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141905431 Reading workshop jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141905702 A second grade teacher is modeling how a reading workshop is done in her classroom.]]> 2016-12-05 23:45:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141905702 Reading Workshop jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141905791 2016-12-05 23:46:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141905791 Writing Process jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141905816 2016-12-05 23:46:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141905816 Writers Workshop jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141906006 A Writing Workshop teaches the writing process and help students slowly build up to writing a final paper. When teaching a writing workshop there are some steps that teachers should follow. First, there is a mini lesson where the teacher introduces a new skill/topic. After, students start to write and the teacher will do one-on-one conferences with all the students. Lastly, the students are able to share what they wrote about. This is very crucial for students to be able to discuss what they created, because it helps with confidence in writing ]]> 2016-12-05 23:49:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141906006 Integrating Technology into literacy jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/141906253 These are some fun websites/apps that students can use:

Pressley, "Strategies instruction in reading groups is transactional in the psychological sense in that the activities of the group are determined jointly by teachers and students as they interact with text. Even through the teacher begins the lesson with particular ideas about what will be discussed and how discussion will proceed, the students strongly influence what actually happens. Thus, if the students are "not getting it," the teacher changes tactics. Alternatively, a student's response may cue an extensive and relevant discussion that the teacher did not plan. Throughout the transaction, student responses affect the behaviors and responses of other students and the teacher".]]> 2016-12-09 01:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/142711556 Writing Process jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/142837169 Literacy theorist Donald Graves explains how to start a writing class.]]> 2016-12-09 16:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/142837169 Early Childhood Literacy Development jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/142955303 The preschool years are where the student's emergent literacy abilities start to develop.

Learners pull together necessary information from print in simple ways at first . . . but as opportunities to read and write accumulate over time the learner becomes able to quickly and momentarily construct a somewhat complex operating system which might solve the problem. There is no simplified way to engage in the complex activities . . ."]]> 2016-12-10 17:12:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/142955794 Early Childhood Literacy Development jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/142956031 2016-12-10 17:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/142956031 Early Childhood Literacy Development jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/142956094 2016-12-10 17:19:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/142956094 Fluency jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/142956476 According to E. H. Hiebert, "fluency is an essential component of successful reading – the failure of students to become fluent readers can have repercussions throughout their lives. The need for instruction that helps students to achieve fluency is clear and unequivocal. However, in spite of its importance, fluency is only one aspect of reading, and students also need instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension to become successful readers."]]> 2016-12-10 17:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/142956476 Vocabulary Development jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/142960841 According to E. H. Hiebert, "Words represent complex and, often, multiple meanings. Further, these complex,
multiple meanings of words need to be understood in the context of other words in the sentences and paragraphs of texts. Not only are students expected to understand words in texts but also texts can be expected to introduce them to many new texts. The vocabulary of written language is much more extensive and diverse than the vocabulary of oral language."

Calkins popularized and developed many of the positions taken by Graves regarding writing and later applied them to reading.The publication of The Art of Teaching Reading (2001) catapulted Calkins to expert status in reading as well. The book offers ideas about setting up libraries in classrooms and the value of offering students a wide selection of books, adults reading aloud, and many other things that go into Calkins’s idea of helping children live a “richly literate life.”"]]> 2016-12-10 19:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/142961742 Writing Workshop jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/142962828 2016-12-10 20:09:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/142962828 Children's Literature jasminezuleth https://padlet.com/jasminezuleth/jasmineantunez/wish/142962852 It is important to provide appropriate children's literature to students.
