    Chavi, fantastic presentation! I agree with you that once Mary can read the text fluently, she can then start focusing on comprehension.

    Your presentation outlines a great intervention plan. I especially enjoyed reading through your minilesson on Whales and Fish. Using a Venn Diagram is a great way to boost your students' comprehension of the text.

Week 9 Assignment 3

Although these assessments focus on determining a student’s level of literacy skills, and should be used within the classroom, they have different purposes and goals. They are both necessary to administer, depending on the need of the individual child. The DIBELS is mainly used as a screening test, to determine early literacy skills including Phonemic Awareness, Alphabetic Principles, Fluency and basic comprehension. This assessment can locate the struggling students to implement initial intervention immediately. The DIBELS is done through a series of fluency tests, that all take one minute to administer. The test results indicate if a student is falling below grade benchmarks, or if the child’s literacy skills are on par with grade level. On the contrary, the QRI is a more intensive assessment that includes a combination of miscue analysis, reading comprehension on both expository and narrative texts, fluency, and site words.

Week 11 - Comprehension

Expository text can be challenging for young readers because of the unfamiliar concepts and vocabulary it presents. One of the most efficient strategies for which there is an influx of research and practice is training students on text structure knowledge to increase and support their comprehension of the expository texts. When readers know the different text structures, they can predict how the information will be displayed and written.

Understanding the text structure helps students find the information they want within a text. It is important for teachers to model and teach strategies on recognizing specific text structures, by noticing the different components of a text. Teachers should teach explicitl...

Week 12 - Assignment 1 and 2

Technology integration is meant to facilitate the development of our student’s cognitive skills. Technology should be used as an extension of the mind, where students are required to use their cognitive and technology skills simultaneously instead of learning solely from the technology.  In the 21st century students can benefit greatly through effective technology integration. Teachers must take advantage of technology and encourage students to produce exemplary work. Through the links and article provided, I gained some ideas on how and why to integrate technology into the classroom. As a teacher I would take advantage of the professional development opportunities to enhance my knowledge regarding technology integration. Also, teachers need to ensure that all students have equal access to the material to all the technology that is included into the lesson. Technology is something that can enhance every lesson and teachers need to work on how to utilize the opportunity. Ther...
