Katherine ReyesParticipant
The articles on language and reading acquisition aligned to my understanding.
Through word recognition, comprehension, fluency and motivation the student is able to read.
We use the word wall for sight words. That’s way each week they would have a new list of words. And could look up at it as those words became automatic.
We used other programs to help them with phonemic awareness.
I would read a letter and they would place that on a magnetic board.
In order to develop reading comprehension I would use an arrow to show the students to read left to right.
The students were at oral language development age kindergarten and older.
The components are phonological, semantic, and syntactic. There are rules of sounds units of sound and rules to make up a sentence
Students really enjoyed reacting a story through drama. Also, students really enjoyed shared book readings as this gave them the opportunity to practice and share what they learned.
These methods are proven to work.Question 2
I agree with the article, Academic Achievement for Learners. It will take 5-7 years to become proficient in a language. In the studies learners can start at different rates. There still can be a drop out rate.
Even with Wida assessments and being taught more formal English we still need to do more studies. We need to find more ways to engage our learners though linguistic-the study of learning English though speaking. We have to look at these students culture and academic reading so they can become proficient learners.Katherine ReyesParticipantHello my name is Katherine Reyes and I’m a sub teacher. I’ve been working with Ells for ten years. The population I’m dealing with are Spanish, Russian and mostly Asian. When I meet my students I most be able to assess them quickly and create lesson plans. This is a challenge for me because I can work in various locations. I’ve been using oral language components and reading practices.
I’m taking this course to maintain my license.
I’m hoping to be able to help students with writing. I’m also in special education classes to I’m trying to help that population also. -
