Perhaps the most famous of the basal readers was a series published by the Scott Foresman Company, called Dick and Jane; whose readers stared two children of the same name. Readers such as Dick and Jane used a whole word/language method for reading instruction, also known as the “look-say” method. The whole-language theory embraces the approach that learning the two components of English literacy, reading and writing, are equivalent to learning to speak English and should be a natural, unconscious progression best cultivated by formless immersion. In an environment rich in simple printed texts and in reading aloud, young children make an connective jump from recognizing the letters of the alphabet to being able to read words. Whole world theorists protest unfamiliar words can be “skipped, guessed at, or picked up from context” (Lemann, 1997).
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
(Cassidy, p646) (*check these) 3 large scale reviews in last 10 years tells us a lot about how we should teach literacy: •National Reading Panel (NICHHD, 2000) •National Inquiry into the Teaching of Literacy (DEST, 2005) •Independent Review of the Teaching of Early Reading in the UK (Rose, 2006) The essay will then continue to look at how each of the five pillars are taught in conjunction with the Australian Curriculum’s Year One English content, and will address the importance of explicit teaching of components, and varying classroom instructional procedures. Define and describe the five pillars of reading (20 marks) Phonological awareness “Phonological awareness is defined as the ability to understand the phonological structure of a language, regardless of the semantic meaning of the word.” And Phonological awareness has been identified as a crucial precursor ability for writing and reading competences. (Frohlich… 2013, p6) Phonological awareness is sensitivity to the sound structure of language. It demands the ability to turn one’s attention to sounds in spoken language while temporarily shifting away from its meaning. … Children who can detect and manipulate sounds in speech are phonologically aware.
As we grew up in middle school and high school, we were often taught to write summaries of our reading. Writing a summary is simply taking the authors original text and condensing it. Both the original text and the summary share the same meaning and thoughts, simply in to different forms. Writing analyses can be interpreted in a different ways. When a writer writes analytically, they go into more depth of the original text.
I found the least interest in the wordless books. Since I am a secondary education major, I feel that words are essential for getting a story across and going into depth in teaching a lesson. I do realize that books without words are necessary for very young children who cannot yet read and perhaps for children who like to make their own stories up, but I would not use them in a secondary level

What You Say: Language Context Matters Resource ID#: 56900 Primary Type: Lesson Plan This document was generated on CPALMS - www.cpalms.org In this lesson students will analyze three texts (Amy Tan's "Mother Tongue," Richard Rodriguez's "Se Habla Espanol," and Zora Neale Hurston's "How it Feels to be Colored Me") looking at language, tone, and style. Students will be scaffolded through use of graphic organizers and a Socratic Seminar to culminate in an essay about tone.

The Panel was charged with reviewing research in reading instruction (focusing on the critical years of kindergarten through third grade) and identify methods that consistently relate to reading success. The Panel reviewed more than 100,000 studies. Through a carefully developed screening procedure, Panel members examined research that met several important criteria: • The research had to address achievement of one or more skills in reading. Studies of the effective teaching were not included unless reading achievement was measured; • The research had to be generalizable to the larger population of students. Thus, case studies with small numbers of children were excluded from the analysis; • The research needed to examine the effectiveness
The Process of Learning to Read and Write As hard working students we know about the importance of reading and writing. Reading and writing are our regular work as well as that in order to be able to fully understand and focused in education, we should follow the basic rules and regulations in learning how to read and write, the type of reading where a reader uses different types of reading techniques. However, every reader and writer has their own style of reading and writing. Many people can grow their strategies in learning because they have their own unique styles of reading and learning. In “Learning to Read and Write,” Frederick Douglass has states that the power of knowledge is very important in our life.
