By developing a child’s speaking and listening you are supporting the development of communication as well as language; it covers what to do in a situation of a child having English as an additional language and what activities can support every child in their personal development. It gives practitioners ideas of what they can supply to make the environment enabling to their development. “English, during key stage 1 pupils learn to speak confidently and listen to what others have to say. They begin to read and write independently and with enthusiasm. They use language to explore their own experiences and imaginary worlds.” (http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/teachingandlearning/curriculum/primary/b00198874/english/ks1) The National Curriculum gives practitioners/teachers guidance on what a child should lean and be able to do by the end of Key Stage one.
A Balanced Reading Program According to the National Reading Panel (NRP), a balanced reading program is one that consists of five components: phonemic awareness, phonics instruction, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension (Armbruster et al., 2003). Phonemic awareness must occur first in the process as students gain an awareness of the individual sounds that make up words. Phonics instruction follows as students learn the relationships between the sounds represented by letters to make predictable patterns in words. Fluency follows as the students are able to blend phonemes and apply phonics to decode words fluidly as they read. Vocabulary helps students apply meaning to the words they read and aid in comprehension.
Donald Bear, Marcia Invernizzi, Shane Templeton, and Francine Johnston (2008) explain that there are two purposes for word studies. First is to help students develop a general knowledge of English spellings. Second, word study increases their specific knowledge of the spelling and meanings of words. Word studies are developmental because teachers must differentiate instruction for different levels of word knowledge (Bear et. Al, 2008).
Modifying a Lesson Plan for English Language Learners (ELL) By Linda Brown Teaching Literacy to ELL Students E6536 Instructor: Ella Benson Argosy University As the number of English learners increases in schools across the United States, educators are seeking effective ways to help them acquire the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the classroom. The SIOP Model* is a research-based and validated model of sheltered instruction. Professional development in the SIOP Model helps teachers plan and deliver lessons that allow English learners to acquire academic knowledge as they develop English language proficiency. The Center for Applied Linguistics is an excellent place for educators to gather research-based tools for working effectively with English Language Learners.This is a model, I will use to create a lesson plan for ELL students. The key points are to clearly post, refer to, and review learning objectives and language objectives.
The focuses mentioned in this essay relates to personal work experiences; identifying specific goals of instructions. The key concept follows the standard, "What Ideas to target?" The concept I will be following is an understanding of English I. The generalization follows, using concepts that I ask myself, "What knowledge gained will the students have at the end of a lesson, in spite of his or her placement in the tiers?" The students’ benefits, he or she will know the English I, characterizations parts of the language.
LaTonya Rule September 15, 2012 EED470 Professor Oros Phonics and Phonemic Awareness Chart Defining Five Elements of Reading: Phonemic Awareness | The knowledge and manipulation of sounds in spoken words. | Phonics | The relationship between written and spoken letters and sounds. | Reading Fluency | The ability to read with accuracy and with appropriate rate, expression, and phrasing. | Vocabulary Development | The knowledge of words, their definitions, and context. | Reading Comprehension | The understanding of meaning in text: * Scientifically based research * Classroom- based screening, and instructional and diagnostic reading assessments * Should provide ongoing, high-quality professional development focused on essential elements of reading.

• Teachers need to regularly and systematically use multiple indicators to assess and monitor children’s progress in reading and writing. The research-based statement stresses that for children to become skilled readers, they need to develop a rich language and conceptual knowledge base, a broad and deep vocabulary, and verbal reasoning abilities to understand messages conveyed through print. At the same time, it recognizes that children also must develop code-related skills: an understanding that spoken words are composed of smaller elements of speech (phonological awareness), the idea that letters represent these sounds (the alphabetic principle), and the knowledge that there are systematic correspondences between sounds and spellings. But to attain a high level of skill, young children need many opportunities to develop these strands interactively, not in isolation. Meaning, not sounds or letters, drives children’s earliest experiences with print.
