Including illustrations to support students in learning unfamiliar vocabulary before reading will help them get through the passages in a way that keeps them engaged. What's most important in teaching reading is that students read texts that interest them and make them motivated to read.]]> 2022-05-15 17:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184634918 Six Syllable Types ibisharat18f https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184639943 Teaching students strategies for chunking larger words into smaller parts is a useful tool that will be able to utilize while independently reading. Additionally, it's important students are equipped with knowledge of the different syllable types.]]> 2022-05-15 17:51:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184639943 Oral Language Matters: Disrupting the Phonics Monopoly ibisharat18f https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184644080 Phonics is essentially seen as the building blocks of literacy. Students that fall behind are often not given interventions specifically suited to them but instead umbrella solutions. In other words, interventions need to target the specific needs of the individual student. This starts with proper assessments to figure out of the student is struggling with decoding, fluency, or something else.]]> 2022-05-15 17:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184644080 Audiobooks For Students with Dyslexia ibisharat18f https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184653527 Effective teaching meets the needs of all kinds of learners. Tools such as this are vital for a diverse classroom. Students with dyslexia or students who learn better through audio will greatly benefit from using audiobooks. It's important that students have options in how they engage with material in the class.]]> 2022-05-15 18:12:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184653527 The Five Pillars of Reading - Breaking Down the Elements of Successful Literacy Instruction ibisharat18f https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184655984 The five pillars of reading consists of phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. When students master each of these five pillars, they essentially master reading. We can work with students to master one pillar at a time.

Using props for story retelling incorporates these interests together. The props also provide visual support for visual learners to better understand the content of a story or text.]]> 2022-05-15 18:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184657290 How Props Can Enhance the Reading Experience ibisharat18f https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184659103 Orally telling stories along with the use of props aids students with reading comprehension as they can see aspects of the story acted out with props or hear emotions in dialogue through the acting of the reader. For younger children this is also extremely beneficial in developing language skills.]]> 2022-05-15 18:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184659103 10 Fun Ways to Use Realia in Your ESL Classroom ibisharat18f https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184661489 Realia utilizes real objects that hold significance to students in order to create important and meaningful connects to content in a lesson. This is especially useful in teaching reading as students often need help establishing connections with texts. It is also beneficial to kinesthetic learners who require more hands-on learning.]]> 2022-05-15 18:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184661489 Chunking in Instructional Design ibisharat18f https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184664545 George Miller asserted that our brains can hold seven things at a time, plus or minus two. Later studies showed that number to be even less. Chunking is a strategy that follows this theory by having students break down difficult texts into smaller more manageable parts so their brains can focus on less at a time.]]> 2022-05-15 18:28:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184664545 Frayer Model ibisharat18f https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184667066 The Frayer Model consists of a graphic organizer with the aim of building vocabulary in students. It asks students to try defining unfamiliar words by creating examples, giving characteristics,  and/or drawing illustrations depicting its meaning. This is a valuable tool for teaching vocabulary in the classroom and can be used to teach specific vocabulary before reading a story.]]> 2022-05-15 18:32:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184667066 Art as Text: Building Literacy Skills Through Art ibisharat18f https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184685653 Art is a universal language that everyone all over the world can read. While text can often be difficult for children to read, everyone can look at a piece of art and give an opinion on it or "read it." Reading art can be great practice for reading actual text.]]> 2022-05-15 18:58:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184685653 How to Use Visual Art to Build Literacy ibisharat18f https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184689184 "The following five Content Framing Questions are typically applied to text but may have been modified to address visual art by replacing the word text with work of art:
1. Wonder: What do I wonder and notice about this work of art?
2. Organize: What is happening in this work of art?
3. Reveal: What does a deeper exploration reveal about this work?
4. Distill: What is the essential meaning behind this work of art?
5. Know: How does this work of art add to my knowledge of [specific topic]?"]]> 2022-05-15 19:04:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184689184 5 Ways to Bring Literacy into the Art Classroom ibisharat18f https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184692881 When doing an art activity with elementary school students there are many opportunities to provide students with a chance to practice their literacy skills. This can be done in many ways, one of which is an exit slip. At the end of your art lesson, you can have the children complete an exit slip where they write a reflection on the lesson or their work.]]> 2022-05-15 19:09:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184692881 7 Art Activities to Practice Reading Skills ibisharat18f https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184695080 Art activities can be used in many ways during literacy lessons in order to support student learning while keeping them engaged and motivated. One writing activity I particularly liked from this article is "What's going on here?" Students look at a photograph and answer: What is happening here? What happened before this photo was taken? What will happen next?]]> 2022-05-15 19:13:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184695080 Common Core in Action: 10 Visual Literacy Strategies ibisharat18f https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184707095 The ability to read images can help students master the ability to read words. Students are constantly bombarded with images where ever they go but are not usually taught the language to talk about these images. Visual literacy strategies help students learn how to articulate their thoughts about images which thus helps them learn how to articulate their thoughts in general.]]> 2022-05-15 19:30:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184707095 Blending Art and Reading Programs for K-5 ibisharat18f https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184725154 Academic research has been done that shows art inclusion in the classroom improves academic performance of students. Students with art in their education tended to have higher levels of performance in reading, cognition, math, verbal abilities, and critical thinking skills.]]> 2022-05-15 19:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184725154 Reading Through the Arts ibisharat18f https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184726396 Children learn better when material connects to their interests. This connection motivates them to actively engage with the material. Including art in literacy lessons is one useful way of building this connection for students.]]> 2022-05-15 19:58:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184726396 Integrating Subjects in Elementary School ibisharat18f https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184728260 Many schools, including the one discussed in this article, have begun integrating subjects in their curriculum. They help students see the connection between all the core subjects which in turn shows them the value in each subject as well. Integration of subjects also helps students understand different content better. For example a student who struggles in literacy but excels and is greatly interested in science would benefit from literacy lessons centered on scientific content.]]> 2022-05-15 20:01:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184728260 What Does Subject Matter Integration Look Like in Elementary Instruction? ibisharat18f https://padlet.com/ibisharat18f/yko8uoloxsv65x83/wish/2184729498 This article focuses on integrating science concepts into literacy but the same approach can be used for integrating art and literacy together.
