Part of early print awareness is the realization that writing can be created with everyday tools such as pens, pencils, crayons, and markers. Children begin to imitate the writing that they see in the environment."
Definition: When a language is physically written down to express thoughts, ideas and information. Writing involves the same aspects of oral language.
Application : I will apply writing development in my classroom by providing frequent opportunities for students to engage in structured writing activities, by offering explicit instruction when it comes to writing with grammar or sentence structures and by always providing constructive feedback to my students to encourage the revision of their writing.  
Equity and Justice :  Writing in education relates to equity and  justice by providing a platform for vocies to be heard, fostering inclusive representation nad promoting social justice. Through writing, students can express their different experiences, perspectives, and ideas, giving them the chance to advocate for equity, diversity and inclusivity in education and in society. ]]> 2023-05-25 16:36:38 UTC https://padlet.com/korissarose/a5r7pxmjh4q7d5lb/wish/2605096971 korissarose https://padlet.com/korissarose/a5r7pxmjh4q7d5lb/wish/2605100475 Definition : It is the ability to understand and make meaning from a language whether it is written or spoken. It is to understand both literal terms and metaphorical terms. With the proper comprehension, a person can summarize a reading or a discussion.
"One big part of comprehension is having a sufficient vocabulary, or knowing the meanings of enough words. Readers who have strong comprehension are able to draw conclusions about what they read"

Application : In my middle school classroom, as the teacher, I will use things such as conceptual understanding, problem solving, mathematical reasoning, communication including explanations, and real world applications to apply comprehension. By prioritizing comprehension and using these strategies, I will help create a classroom where students are able to develop a deep understanding of math. 

Connections to mathematics : Comprehension is connected to mathematics through logical reasoning, critical thinking, problem solving skills, numerical literacy, and abstract thinking. These mathematical skills and abilities will contribute to students overall comprehension across different subjects by enhancing their logical, analytic and interpretive capabilities. 

Equity and justice : Comprehension relates to equity and justice in the classroom by ensuring equal access to knowledge and oppurtunities for all students, regardless of their background or socio-economic status. Some examples of strategies that can promote equity and justice in comprehension instruction would be using culturally relevant texts, multimodal approaches, using explicit instruction and encouraging collabrative learning.

It is an important part of language development, communication and comprehension. 
Having a strong vocabulary leads to efficient conversations and fluency in a language. 
Application : As a middle level educator, I will incorporate ideas such as explicit vocab instruction, contextual reading, word games, word roots, and vocabulary journals for the students to help support their vocabulary development and empower my students with the language skills they need for academic success. 
Connection to mathematics : Mathematical vocabulary is essential for students conceptual understanding, problem-solving abilities, communication skills and academic achievement in math. As a math teacher, I can incorporate various instructional strategies such as vocab instruction, word walls and collabarotive discussions. 
Equity and Justice : shown by ensuring all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background and linguistic heritage, have equal access to vocabulary instruction, resources and support. Some ways to incorporate equity and justice related to vocabulary instruction in a classroom would be pre-teaching key vocab words, using multiple representations, using culturally responsive vocabulary and encouraging cooperative learning and peer discussions. ]]> 2023-05-25 16:45:14 UTC https://padlet.com/korissarose/a5r7pxmjh4q7d5lb/wish/2605105972 korissarose https://padlet.com/korissarose/a5r7pxmjh4q7d5lb/wish/2605109086 Definition : A method of teaching, reading, and writing sounds involved in a spoken language. It is recognized and associated with sounds to letters and eventually being able to decode words.
Phonics is a "way of teaching the code-based portion of reading and spelling that stresses symbol-sound relationships; especially important in beginning reading instruction" (Massachusetts 2017 English Language Arts and Literacy Framework ).

Application : To incorporate phonics instruction in my classroom as a middle level teacher, I will use strategies and resources to teach letter-sound correspondences, word sorting, word building activities, word games, and reading materials that emphasize phonics principles. Integrating this type of phonic instruction within my classroom will also help support students independent reading skills, comprehension skills, and vocabulary development.

Connections to mathematics : Phonics instruction can contribute to the development of foundational skills and cognitive processes that are important for mathematics. 
Equity and Justice : By prioritizing equity and justice in phonics instruction, educators work towards ensuring that all students have the oppurtunity to develop strong literacy skills and succeed academically. Some ways phonics can support mathematics is vocabulary development, symbolic representation, word problem solving, and critical thinking skills.

Equity and Justice : Phonics in education relates to equity and justice by providing systematic and inclusive approaches to literacy instruction, ensuring that all students, including those from any background, have access to the foundational skills needed for reading and writing, promoting equal oppurtunities for literacy development. This approach is equitable and helps address literacy gaps and empowers students to be more confident and profiecient readers and writers. ]]> 2023-05-25 16:48:34 UTC https://padlet.com/korissarose/a5r7pxmjh4q7d5lb/wish/2605109086 korissarose https://padlet.com/korissarose/a5r7pxmjh4q7d5lb/wish/2605113147 Definition : The ability to communicate verbally with spoken words in a variety of languages. Regardless of the language being spoken, it includes vocabulary, grammar, comprehension and pronunciation. 
Oral language, the complex system that relates sounds to meanings, is made up of three components: the phonological, semantic, and syntactic (Lindfors, 1987).

Application : Some key applications within education are language development, communication and social interaction, reading comprehension and academic language proficiency. I will incorporate this development within my students by doing activities in my classroom such as class discussions, debates, role play, story telling and collabarative projects. 

Connections to Mathematics : Oral language is relevent to math because of lectures, activities, projects and assessments which all require a type of communication. Within mathematics, we complete lessons that may involve an acronym or something a student may have to orally repeat in order to learn. 

Equity and Justice : Oral language relates to equity by allowing the students to learn through conversations. Students can communicate through hand motions or gestures, electronics, facial expressions and translators.

Fluency means the person can automatically recognize and decode words when reading or hearing the language. 
"With the help of parents and teachers, kids can learn strategies to cope with fluency issues that affect his or her reading. Below are some tips and specific things to do."
Application : As a middle level math teacher, I will apply fluency by helping the students gain conceptually understanding. When students have a strong foundation in basic math operations, they can better understand complex concepts, such as algebraic expressions, equations and functions. 
Connections to mathematics : Students are able to develop efficient and effective problem solving skills, mental math skills and abilities and communication skills. Fluency helps students be more confident as mathematical thinkers and communicators. 
Equity and justice : Educators work towards ensuring all students have equitable access to the resources, support and opportunities necessary for developing mathematical fluency. ]]> 2023-05-25 16:55:32 UTC https://padlet.com/korissarose/a5r7pxmjh4q7d5lb/wish/2605116155 korissarose https://padlet.com/korissarose/a5r7pxmjh4q7d5lb/wish/2605118732 Definition : Phonemic awareness is the ability to notice, think about, and work with the individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words. Manipulating the sounds in words includes blending, stretching, or otherwise changing words. 

Application : This can be applied in several scenarios such as early childhood development. In early childhood education, phonological awareness can will be used to help the student develop foundational skills that they need for writing, reading and producing sounds. 
Connection to mathematics : Rhyming and alliteration help students understand patterns and be able to see connections between words and phrases. This will be helpful to students that are about to start math classes and have to make these types of connections throughout the entire math course. 
Equity and Justice : Phonological awareness is important because ALL students have the ability to learn it. When a student is able to understand phonological awareness, they are able to make connections, see patterns and communicate more complexly as well as many other skills that will help them in many areas of life. 
Connections to mathematics: Phonological awareness plays a role in the development of foundational skills and cognitive processes that are important with math. By strengthening phonological awareness, educators can support the students mathematical thinking, problem solving and overall skills. 
Equity and Justice : Phonological awareness promotes equity and justice by supporting language acquistion, reading profiency and culturally responsive teaching. By addressing phonological awareness needs. educators ensure equitable access to literacy and support students from diverse backgrounds including students with learning disabilities.
