Lesson PLan


My student is a five year old who is in first grade. My student was able to read the text without much difficulty and had an accuracy rate of 91%. He did constantly check himself, which can be seen since he has a self-correction rate of 1:3. However, he did have a difficult time with some vowel pronunciations. In addition, he had a difficult time with the vowel blend of ‘ou’. I was impressed that as we went along if he had made a mistake on a word and I had helped him correct it the next time the word came along he was able to read it correctly. This showed me that he was really learning and by practicing, he will be able to master his reading.
 Mini Lesson:

To address the needs of my student I would focus on practicing the vowel sounds and vowel blend sounds. These sounds are the foundation of all reading. In order for a child to learn how to read fluently, they must first master these skills. I would begin the lesson with a series of flashcards with vowel and vowel sounds. I would then practice them together with the student. I would also make sure that the child fully pronounces each sound with exaggeration. When children fully pronounce sounds, although it may be slower than the norm it helps them remember the sounds. I would then ask my student to help me write a series of words for each vowel sound and for each vowel blend sound. For example for the vowel ‘A’ (long sound) hate, bake, way etcetera. In addition, I would make a list for the various vowel blend sounds for example, house, mouse, and louse. By doing this, I am giving the student a feel of the sounds and the various words that have these sounds. I would then give my student a book, which focuses on these skills, test his comprehension of what was just taught, and assess based on his reading how much he processed and what must be worked on next time.

Week 7 assignment #2

1.       How can you ensure that your struggling readers have access to texts they can easily read? It is very important to have a class library or a large collection of appropriately leveled books. In order to help struggling readers better their reading skills teachers should make sure that they have access to books on their level. Through having a large selection of books of various levels all children can have the materials they need to improve their reading. 2.       How can you foster a learning environment in which students have many opportunities to practice reading? By having, various learning and reading centers students will be able to have many opportunities to practice reading. Throughout the day there should be times where students are given time to read texts on their level independently or in a peer/group setting. This way they can practice and better their reading skills. 3.       D...

week 7 Assignment #3

1.       Explain the three levels of words and how you can use word levels to decide which words to teach. Familiar words- that don’t  have to be taught. Frequent words-words that come up often in texts and I different contexts which should be taught. Highly technical words- which would come up in history or science which should be left to the history and science teachers to teach. 2.       How do you teach your students to "chunk" words as a strategy for decoding unfamiliar words? When do you provide this instruction? A great technique to use is chunking- to try to decode the word piece by piece. Starting with the beginning then the end and if that doesn’t work trying with the middle. This way students can try to understand the word piece by piece eventually decoding the whole word. To help students learn this technique start with sentence strips with the parts of the word, then go on to tell students to use their fing...
