Week 12 assignment 2

Summary of What I learned

I learned  there is a direct relationship between literarcy and technology. Teachers must teach their students how to use this new technology and learn how to use these programs on these devices like word processors. This technology can  improve how kids think about literature . There are various technological applications that help support literacy instruction. Technology will help supplement students learning literacy.

 As a teacher, I would incorporate technological applications such as scribble maps, Microsoft office, prezi ,voki etc. I would integrate technology into classroom instruction. I think it is important for students to continue to learn technology and use it for authentic purposes. This would help equip them with the skills for real world experiences. Integrating technology would also help engage them  in learning and provide additional learning opportunities.

Week 9 assignment # 3

Summary 

QRI5 means Qualitative Reading Inventory and is a informal reading inventory that has word lists and passages per the student’s grade level.   QRI5 assess a student’s fluency with oral and silent reading and listening skills and can be used from pre-k to high school. It provides student data on identifying words and understanding text.  The QRI-5 can help determine a student’s independent, instructional and frustration level in reading.

DIBELS means Dynamic Indicators are a set of  Basic Early Literacy Skills.  It is a five minute assessment procedures. DIBELS evaluates alphabetic principle, phonological and phonemic awareness, comprehension, vocabulary, accuracy and fluency with text. Using this tool helps teachers to monitor the development of literacy skills.  This tool can be used to identify students that need additional instruction to prevent the student from being a struggling reader

Similarities

Like DIBELS, QRI5 provides assessment options. Both evaluate a students’ comprehension and fluency. Each test measures a students’ miscues in reading. Both evaluates a students reading abilities. Information from both can be used by teachers to design differentiation for the student.

Differences

Unlike DIBELS that measure from 1-6. QRI5 measures from 1 to high school levels. DIBELS is a faster tool to use to assess a students reading level. DIBELS also is a shorter test in comparison to QRI5. QRI5 rates students according to their reading levels independent and instructional.  QRI5 does not identify if the student demonstrates difficulty with phonics or phonemes QRI5 can be used as a preventative method for students showing signs as being a struggling reader.

Instructional planning and Decisions

DIBELS and QRI5 provides information on students for teachers to focus on certain areas for instructional planning. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of students allows teachers to emphasize more time on certain areas. These assessment tools provides teachers crucial information in creating IEP’s  for struggling students. The DIBELS test can be used to inform the teacher of the early literacy needs of a student. This allows the teacher to focus on the areas the student needs help. The data from the test can help a teacher design a lesson in the areas the student demonstrates need. The QRI5 provides essential information for the teacher to create an intervention strategy to help the areas the student demonstrates need.

Week 7

5 year old girl in Kindegarden

Print Awareness

I showed her an ABC chart and asked her to tell me the letters that I point to. Then I asked her to point to the A in the word APPLE on the chart and B in the word BAT on the chart  then I asked her to point to the letter Z. Then I asked her to point out the first letter of the word under the picture of elephant

Phonics

Using letter blocks , I had her pull a block from a bucket and say the sound it makes. Then I took out the letters ‘A ‘ and ‘T’ and put them together and asked her what sound they made. She did not know but when I put the letters ‘B’A’B’Y together she knew the sound

 Phonemic Awareness and sounds of speech: Hear me say a word

I model saying all the sounds of the word then I have her do the same

I model
If I say /p/   /i/   /g/ the word is . . .pig. Then I say a list of words and ask her what sounds they make

1.     Car

2.     Light

3.     Knock

4.     Sight

5.     Cat

6.     Play

She struggled with identifying word sounds, I had to guide her through the process.

Learning Activities to Reinforce Development

Phonics was a struggle, I would reinforce development using phonics games from jumpstart.com. Also activities such as worksheet that involve repetition. Flashcards would also be used to help with phonics development. I would also do a ABC activity to help identify letters to their sounds.

Week 6

Marys Intervention

http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cDelnZ1FTX

Week 5

Marys level in word identification: Level  Two
Total Accuracy :7  Miscues
WPM: 46
CWPM: 44

Mary's Strengths

Word Identification
Mary reads words with pretty good accuracy. She has a few mishaps with reading certain words but self corrects. She demonstrates that she has strength in comprehension because she is able to state details from what she has read.

Mary's Needs

Word Identification

Mary requires work in  word pronouciation, she had issues with the words “though” and through”. She needs  one and one practice using the chunking strategy. Also word phonemics practice would help Mary with her reading strategy.

Week 4 assignment

RTI is used to help students that are struggling readers. It was initially established for students with learning disabilities however was changed to measure a students academic performance improves with intervention services. The structure of intervention are the following: Tier 1 is comprised of students with traditional instruction. 80-85 percent do not receive intervention. The remaining students may need intervention services. Tier 2, unlike Tier 1 10-15 percent students require some intervention services. In this stage a small group of students receive  services in a class setting. Tier 3 is the smallest group. This group receives intervention services that is intensified and focused. The students would receive the services in a regular class however in some instances students are pulled out from the regular classroom to receive the intervention services.

How can RTI improve the academic performance of a special needs student?

Assignment 3 QRI5

1. What is QRI5? QR15 is Qualitative Reading Inventory and provides numerous reading assessment options.
2. What is the purpose of using QRI5? It is a tool that provides data on the ability for students to identify words and understand text.
3. Have you seen similar assessment activities like QRI5? What are they? The running records is a similar to QRI5
4. What is your impression of QRI5? I like QRI5 it is very comprehensive and provides several assessment options for students and provides comparative data that helps to act as a gauge in regards to the reading progress for students.
   
   
   
   

Reading Rockets Video

The reading rockets video provided insight into how well young minds can learn and absorb knowledge. Incorporating a reading routine can help young children build their vocabulary which can help them be more knowledgeable when they enter school. In addition, reading to young children encourages them to develop positive reading habits which makes them more familiar with reading. I think the video provided great information on the significant role that parents play in aiding children to develop reading and vocabulary. I also learned making children more familiar with the words and letters around them increases print awareness.
