Five Pillars of Reading Instruction by James Martin https://padlet.com/duggacub/uc3dkbo2mmovle0i en-us 2021-03-29 15:35:19 UTC 2021-03-30 14:00:02 UTC hello@padlet.com Comprehesion duggacub https://padlet.com/duggacub/uc3dkbo2mmovle0i/wish/1364704231 Reading comprehension is the ability of the reader to understand what is being read.
Research has found that when children read extensively they become better writers. Reading a variety of genres helps children learn text structures and language that they can then transfer to their own writing. In addition, reading provides young people with prior knowledge that they can use in their stories( K12 Reader, 2018).

This pillar can be reinforced by using open end writing prompts for the students to answer after the reading.

The reinforcement of this pillar helps a students writing skills by strenghting their understanding of reading. This strategy has the read deeper into the story to come up with indepth answers. ]]> 2021-03-29 16:05:36 UTC https://padlet.com/duggacub/uc3dkbo2mmovle0i/wish/1364704231 Vocabulary duggacub https://padlet.com/duggacub/uc3dkbo2mmovle0i/wish/1365063724 Vocabulary is words that have to be understood in order to comprehend what is being read.

Vocabulary plays a fundamental role in the reading process, and contributes greatly to a reader's comprehension. A reader cannot understand a text without knowing what most of the words mean. Students learn the meanings of most words indirectly, through everyday experiences with oral and written language. Other words are learned through carefully designed instruction (Reading Rocket, 2021).

Examples of how to reinforce vocabulary during a lesson is to introduce key vocabulary at the beginning of the reading. Have the studens find and write the definition will help them to understand its meaning but also write the vocabulary in a sentence to help with comprehension.]]> 2021-03-29 17:26:58 UTC https://padlet.com/duggacub/uc3dkbo2mmovle0i/wish/1365063724 Fluency duggacub https://padlet.com/duggacub/uc3dkbo2mmovle0i/wish/1365124974 Fluency by definition is the ablity to read with speed, accuracy and correct expression.

Fluent readers, on the other hand, are able to read words accurately and effortlessly. They recognize words and phrases instantly on sight. A minimal amount of cognitive energy is expended in decoding the words. This means, then, that the maximum amount of a reader’s cognitive energy can be directed to the all-important task of making sense of the text( Rasinski, 2021).

This pillar can be reinforced during reading instruction by having the students read a book that the select either one on one or in small group with the teacher or teacher's aid. Also, having the student write out difficult vocabulary to find out how to decode the words and their meaning.

This pillar can be reinforced during writing by having the students write a journal entry into a notebook covering a predetermined theme. The teacher should connect the student to the writing by using background knowledege.]]> 2021-03-29 17:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/duggacub/uc3dkbo2mmovle0i/wish/1365124974 Phonics duggacub https://padlet.com/duggacub/uc3dkbo2mmovle0i/wish/1367733221 Phonics is a method of teaching people to read by correlating sounds with letters or groups of letters in an alphabetic writing system.

Phonics is a way of teaching children how to read and write. It helps children hear, identify and use different sounds that distinguish one word from another in the English language(National Literacy Trust, 2017).

This pillar can be reinforced in reading by using word building games. With this strategy the teacher will have letters written on individual cards. The students will be ask to make a word out of the letters and then sound the letter sounds individually. Then they will slowly blend the sound to make the word.

This pillar can be reinforce in writing by having the students to create word list either whole or small group. With younger students, the teacher can create a word wall. With older students, the word list can be timed to see how many they can create correctly.

Phonemic awareness is the understanding that spoken words are made of individual sounds called phonemes. A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound we hear in a word. Phonemic awareness falls underneath the umbrella as a sub-category of phonological awareness. Rather than working with larger units of spoken language, we ask students to listen for the individual sounds or phonemes in a spoken word. When we ask students to blend or segment words into the smallest unit of sound they hear, we are working at the phonemic awareness level (Bottari, 2020).

This pillar can be reinforced in reading by the teacher by having books that rhyme, repitition and rhythm to read with the students. Also, the teacher can use rhyming games in group or individual settings to help students to practice these skills.

Reinforcing phonemic awareness in writing can be a simple as having the student write individual letters on cut flash cards and having them sound them out after writing. Also, once written they can sound out individual sounds and blend them into words.
