Week 4 Assignment #2


The student seems like a fluent reader. Here and there, he makes some mistakes and often self-corrects himself. He often makes tense or context mistakes that can be corrected through practice. Mistakes such as lived instead of live or whales instead of whale are more of a tense problem then of a reading problem. Therefore, the fluency is not perfect but is definitely great.
The student had a great comprehension of the story he read. He did have some difficulty thinking of specific details however, with time he was able to come up with the necessary specific details in the story. He definitely comprehended the main idea and the details involved as well.

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.
