According to the National Reading Panel, "phonemic Awareness is the ability to hear sounds within words."

During reading instruction, students need to know that words can be broken down into sounds that can help them understand the whole word. A way that this pillar could be used is having students understand and practice the sounds or blends of the letters within the words. Children also can practice looking at words and finding a smaller word inside the bigger words to help them understand their words.

Children will be supported  in writing by sounding out words as they are write . When my students are writing I tell them to say the word a couple of times to themselves and write the sound they hear.  ]]> 2020-09-10 20:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sharniecewallace/abwz0ejeai4nxqa9/wish/736923009 sharniecewallace https://padlet.com/sharniecewallace/abwz0ejeai4nxqa9/wish/741213698 According to the 5 components of Reading Instruction, phonics is described as "the relationship between a specific letter and its sound, only as it relates to the written word." In better words
it's the association of sound to letter.

During reading I like to reinforce this concept by telling students to try and sound out their letters or blends. I work with my students in groups and show them sounds or have them guess my sound by saying the word. Another phonics can be reinforced and assess how students understand is by using spelling test.

I think the reinforcement of phonics can be helping students write their sounds that they hear. I go over this with my students daily by saying different words we are working on and work on writing the sounds. ]]> 2020-09-12 19:56:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sharniecewallace/abwz0ejeai4nxqa9/wish/741213698 sharniecewallace https://padlet.com/sharniecewallace/abwz0ejeai4nxqa9/wish/741213937 According to the National Reading Panel on Learning Landscape, "fluency is the ability to read text accurately and smoothly." 

Children are able to achieve this with accomplishing their phonics and phonemic awareness. This also comes from practicing reading. 

My state requires our county to provide guided reading to our students where they are are to practice reading everyday. With their reading ability they read what they know and use pictures and such to learn what they don't know. Another way this could work is having each student practice reading daily at home for 20-30 minutes. Reading daily for this amount of time allows promotes brain development, language development, and allows understanding of the world.

Students who are practicing reading are becoming fluent readers. Readers that become fluent are able to write better and more structured. How can fluency help writers? The more they read the better they are at writing.]]> 2020-09-12 19:56:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sharniecewallace/abwz0ejeai4nxqa9/wish/741213937 sharniecewallace https://padlet.com/sharniecewallace/abwz0ejeai4nxqa9/wish/741214129 According to 5 Pillars of Reading Instruction, "vocabulary can be defined as the knowledge of words."

The reinforcement of this pillar can happen during reading by using a target them of words that would be described throughout the reading of a story. An example of this, if I know i'm going to have my students read a book about families i'm going to select a target group of words they would need to learn about families and focus on those vocabulary words using different activities.

A way this pillar could be enforced in writing strategies is to come up with writing activities that would help students retain the meaning of the vocabulary. In my class, I would come up with an activity of having the students write the meaning in their own words and make it relatable to them.]]> 2020-09-12 19:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sharniecewallace/abwz0ejeai4nxqa9/wish/741214129 sharniecewallace https://padlet.com/sharniecewallace/abwz0ejeai4nxqa9/wish/741214297 According to the 5 Pillars of Reading Instruction, "comprehension can be defined as the meaning of the text."

Comprehension is an important task that children will accomplish as it shows how a child understands the material given. It's always important to ask students questions to see what their thinking and how their thinking. Comprehension is universal as it can relate to all subjects.

Comprehension in reading could be reinforced by continually having the student explain their thinking. In my classrooms I always ask about different parts of the book. I'll inquire about the characters (students can describe the characters, explain what the characters did), the setting (inquire about where the story takes place and why do you think they are there), and events (why did they do this, what could they have done).

Comprehension could be reinforced in writing by having students complete an observation, wonderings, and learnings chart (OWL Chart). This gives students the ability to show what they are thinking throughout a reading time. I use this within different subjects and am amazed at the amount of information my students have written down.]]> 2020-09-12 19:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sharniecewallace/abwz0ejeai4nxqa9/wish/741214297
