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.
English & Language Arts common Core Sate Standards: A Reflection of Key Concepts Significant for Teaching Elementary Language Arts and Literacy Jessica Bribiesca Brandman University Introduction The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts (ELA) and Literacy are significant to teachers who are preparing to teach elementary school for many reasons. Three strategies to use with the CCSS are outlined in this reflective paper. First, the ELA and Literacy standards aide teachers in setting high standards with clear goals so the teachers can produce a deeper instruction. Second, using text based evidence in ELA and Literacy guides students so they can understand what they are reading by referring back to the
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).
Following these sounds being blended together, an individual must heed to rules; for example, there are several consonants sounds which require a form by the atmosphere existing in an individual’s vocal cord stop consonants. Thirdly, the level of sentences in the English language. In the English language of sentences, there are several rules that apply to the construction of a sentence. In spite of the fact of sentence construction has been proven to be combined, and is important to the English language for the reason that rules are carried out and sometimes causes common mistakes such as word sentences that are run-ons. The fourth and last level relates to text in the English language, for the most part texting is related to a psychologist as nothing more than a group of related words linked to form of paragraph.
Many may say what is English? I consider English to be a valuable aspect of a essential way uof life. Growing up I was the one who was fasinated with leaning how to read and spell, understand parts of English. Learning how to formulate words that would become a sentence. Focusing so hard on excelling in English I was having a hard time acknowledging the basic sentence patterens staying devoted I past it.
The key points are to clearly post, refer to, and review learning objectives and language objectives. Multiple levels of English proficiency are set by standards that the students are monitored by model performance indicators. A student’s native language affects his or her language and academic outcomes by being surrounded by other students who are also ELL with the same English acquisition. Students may utilize their home language more in conversations when speaking to classmates who are from the same home language group (Willoughby, 2009). In speaking to other ELL students whose home language is different, ELL students, use English but due to the students’ limitations in their English proficiency, they expose each other to more broken English I will value the instructional power of a word wall by frequently utilizing, maintaining, and updating it.All too often, secondary educators miss important opportunities to build the literacy skills of all students.
It's understood that different people assimilate information with different learning styles such as auditory, visual, and kinaesthetic methods. Understanding your students abilities and needs will ensure the right balance of methods and activities to be used. Other points of referral which are available to meet the potential needs of students include: Discretionary Learner support fund, Citizens Advice Bureau, Job Centre Plus, Deaf Association,
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.

The assessment should be both formal and informal. For informal, the teacher may use observations for questions and students notes, and formal will be for the use of tests and essays. The teacher can track the student’s problem area and can adapt the lessons and help the student. All assessments need to be prepared to actively engage student’s in the lessons. When assessing an ELL students’ performance, there must be group work that will be close to the real world like problem solving and personal communication.
