stages of the reading process
prereading, reading, responding, exploring, applying
Activate prior knowledge or build essential background knowledge
Make connections to something familiar
Teacher does this during instruction; readers do it for themselves when reading independently
Could be discussion, book box, video clip, tell about the author, read the first paragraph aloud, etc.
Preview the text – make a plan for reading
Introduce lesson vocabulary
Set purposes for reading
prereading
5 types of reading
read aloud, shared reading, guided reading, pair reading, independent reading
Students follow along as the teacher reads the selection aloud
shared reading
Teachers read with small groups of students on the same level
Texts should be written at the students’ instructional level
guided reading
Students read or reread a selection with a classmate
buddy reading
Students read silently by themselves at their own pace
independent reading
stages of the writing process
Pre-writing
Drafting
Editing
Revising
Publishing
Brainstorm - Use own experiences, make a list, a web, drawings; research, discuss ideas, etc.
Have an on-going list
Things you know about
Hobbies
Things you can do
Things you’d like to learn about
Places you’ve visited
Consider purpose, form/genre (teach how to), and audience
Choose a topic
Identify audience
Identify purpose (inform, entertain, or persuade)
Determine form (story, letter, poem, journal entry, informational, etc.) – TEACH THIS!
Organize ideas (use graphic organizer)
prewrite
Get ideas on paper
If handwriting, use pencil, skip every other line, use only 1 side of the paper
If typing on a computer, just get ideas written. Do not worry about sequence, spelling, capitalization, punctuation, etc.
drafting
which process is linear (reading or writing)
reading
Writers distance themselves from the rough draft for 1-2 days
Then they reread it and make revisions to the content
Add
Change
Delete
Move
Share compositions with classmates who compliment and make possible suggestions
Writers make revisions based on feedback
revising
Recommended to again set aside the paper for 1-2 days
Proofread for grammar and mechanical errors
Spelling
Punctuation
Capitalization
Usage – homophones, tense, subject-verb or subject-pronoun agreement
Helps to have someone else edit; use an editing checklist
editing
Write a final, polished copy
Report, book, poster, letter
Share the writing with an appropriate audience
More authentic, the better
Share at a back-to-school or community event
Put it in the classroom or school library
Read to students in other classes
Post it on the class website or online publication site
Send it to a literary magazine
publishing
The child is associating letters and sounds but not yet using entirely conventional spelling.
invented spelling phase
Understanding visual images and connecting the to accompanying spoken or written words
Because visual media are commonplace in American life today, children need to learn how to comprehend them and to integrate visual knowledge with other literacy knowledge.
viewing
Presenting information through images, either alone or along with spoken or written words
Students create meaning through multiple sign systems such as video productions, hypertext and other computer programs, story quilts, and illustrations on charts, posters, and books they are writing.
visually representing
Students meet daily to discuss the book and reflect on their reading. Students have roles (change daily) to help them with the discussion.
responding
After finishing the book, students prepare self-selected projects to present to the class (murals, dramatizations, poems, choral readings, etc.)
creating
Students meet as a class and each group shares it book in a book talk, presentation of projects, etc. They never tell the ending because they want to encourage classmates to read the book.
sharing
language arts instruction for kindergarteners and first graders is known as
emergent literacy
the two essential components when learning to read
decoding and comprehension
the ability to apply your knowledge of letter-sound relationships, including knowledge of letter patterns, to correctly pronounce written words
decoding
