Dana Dominguez, EDU 501 by Dana Dominguez https://padlet.com/ddomingu/danadominguez My notes about my action research en-us 2019-01-15 16:04:23 UTC 2019-01-31 17:25:12 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/348408181/1d186c74f436d654cb911cecd68bc368/887865.jpg Possible problem (topic) ddomingu https://padlet.com/ddomingu/danadominguez/wish/320837457 Students struggle with test taking strategies and comprehension in fiction and non-fiction

I plan to study the strategy of previewing the text and questions because I want to find out if using this strategy increases test scores in fourth grade ELA to show the link to students that set a purpose for reading by previewing the text and questions so that I may better understand if previewing the text and questions is helpful to build a better understanding of what is being asked as well as increased test scores among readers at multiple levels.

"His familiarity with the chapter enabled him to move efficiently and accurately through his assignment" (Manz, 2002, p.435).

"One of the ultimate goasl for all teachers (regardless of grade or content) is to prepare students to read deeply and critically on their own, just as adults do" (Adler, 2013, p.3)

This article discusses what we need to arm students with in order to be successful active readers. It does not matter what stage a reader is in; emergent(learning to read) or fluent reading to learn) children need strategies to attack the text so they are using it in a meaningful way. Alber explains one pre-reading strategy , previewing text, allows students to scan for words and phrases they do not understand prior to reading. Doing this allows students to read without anxiety. When students preview the text they are not only looking for words they don't understand, they are familiarizing themselves with how the text is structured. Knowing this helps a reader know how to read a text.

This article discusses the benefits of previewing a text to prepare a reader so they can get the most out of the text. Jones goes on to share that teaching students the strategy of previewing plays a big role in reading comprehension. Jones explains that previewing a text is similar to when a photographer is preparing to take a picture. As a teacher in a classroom I can relate to this analogy because we teach our students to decompose a text in order to get a full understanding of what we are reading. Most importantly the article states that "previewing the text helps students become more active, powerful readers" (Jones, 2015, p.2). Our ultimate goal is for students to become active and independent learners. Choosing to use strategies that are taught on their own will accomplish these goals across the curriculum. ]]> 2019-01-16 13:52:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ddomingu/danadominguez/wish/321213426 Summary #3 ddomingu https://padlet.com/ddomingu/danadominguez/wish/321213469 The effects of previewing questions, repetition of input, and topic preparation on listening comprehension of Iranian EFL learners
This study focuses on language learners and listening comprehension. Along with multiple articles the commonality between them is that previewing the text and/or the questions is likely to set a purpose for the listener/reader or the listener. The previewing strategy causes students to pay attention to key words and vocabulary which cause the learner in this case study to listen purposefully. I believe that it will have the same effect on students that are not just listening to a story but reading a story as well.  ]]> 2019-01-16 13:52:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ddomingu/danadominguez/wish/321213469 What is previewing? Why is it important? How does it help? ddomingu https://padlet.com/ddomingu/danadominguez/wish/322220851 1. Previewing is a pre-reading strategy that allows students to become familiar with a text prior to reading.
2. Students can identify words they are unfamiliar with ahead of time to gain confidence to attack the text
3. Previewing questions allows students to set a focus when reading
