What does this lead to you to understand about how we must approach literacy instruction in the early grades? Implications for older students? by Shareen Fernanders

Instruction in early grades- requires consistent exposure and multiple methods of teaching

A bigger focus on phonemic awareness

Ensuring that we are able to tap into the way in which our learners access reading neurologically.

We need to activate all parts of the reading brain as we teach. We can consider practices through the lens.

2024-11-12 17:30:13 UTC

Since our understanding of reading is learned through science/studies, we should take science-based approaches to instruction

Older students may not have the basics of reading (phonological awareness)

It will be important to support older learners with the foundational skills.

Implications - Instruction that helps students make connections between the parts of the brain that help students to read (e.g., should involve phonics).

Lots of engaging read alouds to model fluent reading and the phonological components. For older readers, getting appropriately high-interest, easy readers for practicing skills.

Approach with grace and understand that everyone grabs information from their brain differently

Truly providing differentiation of reading instruction for our lagging readers. Finding entry points for learning.

2024-11-12 17:31:48 UTC

For older learners, we need to understand where they struggle with reading (i.e. phonology or meaning-making) and creating interventions that support them

2024-11-12 17:31:55 UTC

Understanding that older students may have to go back to the "basics" and creating a safe space to do so

2024-11-12 17:32:05 UTC

Ensuring strong phonemic awareness is especially important in early grades.

2024-11-12 17:32:17 UTC

for older learners--leverage what we know about learning science and sense of belonging! It's important that striving readers feel safe in their learning environments so they can engage

For EL learners, I think this is critical to keep in mind regardless of age.
