Connecting intervention w/ common core state standards Flashcards
4 major goals of CCSS
1) create globally competitive citizens in 21st century
2) prepare–COLLEGE
3) create critical readers who “read deeply”
4) students→responsible citizens who use EVIDENCE for deliberation
the overarching goal
to create students who are ready to succeed in a twenty-first century, globally competitive society.
The Common Core State Standards, enacted …
- in 2010, have been adopted by 46 out of 50 states.
- The standards address English Language Arts and Math
- We are concerned with ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS of course
English Language Arts Consists of 4 Areas
- Reading
- Writing
- Speaking and Listening
- Language
Key Changes in ELA Standards
- Increase in text complexity, emphasis on expository (informational) text
- Students: analyze, infer, provide evidence
Comprehension of Expository Text
For me, probably the biggest game changer is an increased emphasis on expository reading (I have been SO used to narratives!)
Because the Common Core State Standards have put a great emphasis on expository reading (reading for information)….
Some experts are recommending that professionals expose children to expository reading as young as preschool. These books relate to interesting topics such as jellyfish, slugs, and lizards.
While narratives/story books are important to development,
books that present expository information can be used STARTING IN PRESCHOOL to PREPARE ELL children for the greatly increased emphasis on expository reading beginning in the early grades of elementary school.
As we have said, reading is difficult for ELL students with LI
- Academic materials are written in their second language of English
- The LI often makes reading difficult
- And, many children are seldom read to at home
I have found that using a Kindle (Amazon) or Nook (Barnes & Noble) is very advantageous (if possible) because
- Reading is much “cooler”
- Increase font size without embarrassment
If ELL students with LI sound out basic sight words each time they encounter these words,
- reading comprehension and fluency will be slowed down greatly.
- Professionals can drill these sight words with students until the students can read them quickly and automatically
In order to help students read deeply
- We can use the Preview-View-Review Approach
- We can use their class text books, especially their language arts books
PREVIEW-VIEW-REVIEW APPROACH
- Use classroom textbooks to teach students this approach
- This helps teach class curriculum content and enhance reading skills
BEGIN WITH PREVIEW
- Overview of chapter
- Read main idea sentence of key paragraphs
- Highlight key vocab
- Read concluding paragraph or summary.
VIEW THE CHAPTER
- Read the text aloud and have students follow along
- Stop and have students EXPLAIN CONTENT in their OWN WORDS
- Help the student organize and outline notes and readings
view the chapter cont.
- Review class notes which pertain to chapter
- Scaffold (go back and build up)
- Use context to increase comprehension
Help the student visualize what is being read
They can make mental pictures
REVIEW
- Look over chapter headings and divisions again
- Ask questions about the content
- Help the student answer questions at the end of the chapter
