I learned many things from the videos we watched, but the most important one is that if you get your students motivated and eager to learn a new language their eagerness will give their mind wings and they will have an easier time learning it. It’s also important to have your students’ parents involved in the process, in one video the school helped parents who themselves didn’t know English learn how to help their children learn the English language. One of the parents said, “I learned that my child can read any book, even if it’s meant for younger kids. As long as he’s reading, he’s in a good place.” Before you begin to work with a student, aside from assessing their English knowledge, assess them for their knowledge in their native language. This will help you understand where the student is holding, it will tell you if he is at grade level in the other language. Once you know where he is holding you can teach him what he needs to know; and then, of course, assess him again at...

i posted it late- because i was waiting for the discussion board to open up 😒 Helping our children become literate for the outside world they must be knowledgeable in all types of technology. In classrooms today, we can incorporate this into lessons to help our students be able to be literately up to date with in the outside world. Students must be able to use the Internet correctly and know how to use basic tools like word processing. Telling stories is a great way to have your students be interested in writing. Here are some ways you can do so; either through writing with word processing or on the many photo editing programs. For kids you would like to use more kid friendly programs, where it will be easy for them to use the painting and drawing tools to create their personal works. For older students there is a larger range of photo editing/ video editing that they can use. If you don’t want to use photographs or you don’t have the time or the right equipment , you c...
Over the past six years reading comprehension has changed its focus from mastery of skills to learning strategies which are adaptable, flexible and in control of the reader. One of the most important ways when training students to understand what they read, is for them to be aware of the different types of texts, how to read them and what type of information does that text provide. When students know what they are looking for in the text they come into reading with a plan of how to understand the information and how the information will be laid out. Research shows the children's reading comprehension is higher when they know the text structural development and can use them properly. For the above reasons we teach our students the different types of texts and how to read and analyze them. Text features give students information to help them understand what they will read. The heading of the story provides and introduces the students to specific pieces of information that th...

Qri-5 is an assessment given to determine a student’s level in literacy. The student is given a text to read and a list of non-site words, then based on the mark they get we can determine their reading level. Qri-5 is a great indicator of the student’s literacy skills in decoding fluency and comprehension. This information helps teachers see if their student is on independent, instructional or frustration level. Then the teacher can group her students effectively and help students choose appropriate books, on their level. This assessment provides the teacher with a good understanding of where her students are holding and a precise indication of the instruction she should be giving. Dibels assessments are a set of tests to monitor the students early literacy and early reading skills through benchmark assessments, universal screening and progress monitoring. There are several assessments given to each student, each is about a minute long. Dibels tests the students for the 5 big id...
