Teach by example. If you have books, magazines, and newspapers in your home and your child sees you reading, your child learns that you value reading. Read together. Reading with your child is a wonderful activity. It not only teaches your child that reading is important to you, but it also offers you important time together, a chance to talk about the book and issues that relate to the book.
Pictures: Pictures are used alongside words to make communication more easier and understandable. In fact in my placement school, the reading scheme that is used starts the children off with ‘picture only’ books so the children are encouraged to talk about the pictures in the book and make their own story up and ask questions. Technology: Computer programmes (apps and games), interactive whiteboard, story tapes, cds are all ways of stimulating a child’s communication development. These days a lot of programmes are interactive and children can hear and respond to different applications made specially to help develop their
When students see others doing this it quickly reminds those who may have forgot that they too need to place their homework in the basket. Mr. Collet is then able to quickly see who has turned in homework and who has not. He also has provided the opportunity to each parent to purchase a daily planner; the planner allows the student to write down daily homework assignments for each class period and parents may follow up by looking at the planner nightly to ensure that the work is getting completed. Mr. Collet also allows for the students to participate in deciding what homework assignments are going to be assigned. Students get to give the opinion on what is best for them to learn from by helping Mr. Collet collectively agree upon what material they will have homework on.
Anisha Spellman Benchmark Assessment: Language Arts Unit Plan Grand Canyon University: EED-525 November 27, 2013 “Learning to read and reading to learn” is a quote that one of the schools in my district uses to help motivate reading in all students and their families. I believe reading is an important aspect of all lives. What exactly would the world be like without the reading? It is crucial that we teach this to all of the little children while they are young and trying to learn. The more they practice and the more teachers and parents instill this in their minds, the better they will become.
You can also see if the children have any books at home. If you see that a child is without something, this can help you know to send books home with certain children so they are getting just as much literacy practice as another child. Also, by visiting your students’ families, it makes the children more comfortable to open up to you in writing about things they are going through. They won’t be ashamed to share something that is on their heart about their family because they know you have met their family. It makes them feel like you understand them better.
I think the aim of literacy is to teach children/young people the ability to understand the English language both verbally and non-verbally. Children/young people should be encouraged to explore the way the English language works for example through phonics for vocabulary, reading, writing and spelling, this will help children and young people to have the knowledge to be able to read, write and spell with confidence. Children and young people will be able to expand their vocabulary through holding literacy skills. Being a secondary school the school has an English department that teaches literacy to student from year 7 (key stage 3) through to year 13 (A level), students have 3 hours of English a week up to the end of their GSCS’s, A level English students would have 5 hours a week. We also have core studies, which are run by HLTA in the learning support department.
Based on what level they are on, then move them into a group of children that are at the same level. Then, as a teacher, build upon their knowledge at their level and pace. The guide the students into learning new words on their own, this could be done by reading and practicing writing. Alternative #3: Embedded Phonics Instruction, on pages 235 and 236, is a literature-based instruction. Students learn new words based on
Reading is Key Reading is about learning. We all learn our ABC’s in kindergarten and learn the sound the different letters make. Every word is different and enticing when we are young children learning to read because we finally know what signs say and how to spell our names. Individuals use words and speak thousands every day. Most people write everyday whether it having to be a letter, email, resume, a note, or even just a few words on a sticky note.
Therefore, the purpose of assessment in support of planned curriculum is to help build on children’s strengths and weaknesses and aid in continued growth and learning. Furthermore, assessments illustrate that children have actually gained knowledge and skill from planned learning experiences. Even more, they exhibit the children’s ideas and attitudes towards their experiences. The teacher sent home picture cards for the children to continue working on rhyming at home and suggested several rhyming read aloud books for parents to read to their child at
Patience is the most important skill. We need to give enough time for baby to communicate. Talking to the child, reading books, showing pictures. Attention to what the baby is trying to say. Helping child with putting words together will help him in future communication.
