Contexts and Strategies

How letters create patterns. These patterns become familiar.

Patterns in Ojibwa? Or Spanish?

Need paper and pencil/pen

Spelling Test

• Clear desks.

• No voices.

• Find your own space.

• Pencil and paper.

• Number 1-10.

• YRULPZOC• OZHGPMTJ• DLEGQMNW• CFUJXZAQ• WXPAUJVB

Compare and Contrast

• Tell me about column 1

• Examples of patterns

• Tell me about column 2

• Why are we able to make sense of the one column of words.

Internalized knowledge of letter patterns.

• We can identify a word in about as much time as it takes to identify a LETTER.

• Have a visual context for words.• What is visual about taking a spelling test.• In Word Matters…how would a child

learning to manuscript their name and doing related word and reading and writing (drawing) activities throughout the year…ho

• PRIOR KNOWLEDGE (OUR schemes)• BEFORE CONTEXT (sentence or word or

paragraph)• AFTER CONTEXT (same)• SEMANTIC• SYNTATIC• Graphic (phonemic)• SOCIOPSYCHOLINQUISTIC? Explain• (self-correct as you read; using above strategies )

What we do as we read.

(meta-cognitive strategies)What one does when one reads

Teachers model for children1. Predict (what text will be about): e.g., Look at illustrations, titles, headings, beginning sentences…2. Sample text: reading 3. Clarify (does what I am reading make sense, if not I use one of the strategies.) 4. Confirm or Correct and move on.

WHAT DOES A PROFICIENT READER DO?

• Describe characteristics of a proficient reader?

• Describe characteristics of a beginning or novice reader?

• Teaching Strategy for reading

Part to Whole; Whole to Part

• Compare and contrast whole to part; part to whole methods of teaching reading.

• If a child is asked to tell me what reading is….How will the child describe reading part to whole? Whole to part?

TEST

Reading for next time.

Word Solver: dynamic readingUsing Words in reading and writing.

Teacher modeling the process(not just memorizing lists)

• Is a cognitive/thinking process for recognizing words, taking them apart, putting them together so that children can read and write with MEANING.

• The learner actively investigates how words work. Knowing that how words are constructed and used bring meaning to text. ( ed, er, th, pronouns, see list in back)

• Through reading experiences, children build a dynamic vocabulary exploring word meanings and making connections.

• The greater the speaking vocabulary, the easier it is for them to learn new words.

continued

• Individual vocabulary will build double and triple with a variety of writing and reading experiences.

• Competent readings will have a variety of of word solving strategies to use as they read….they will use these with little noticable pause.

• Example 1 reading• There was only one dog left• Example 2 writing• Teacher creates mini lesson to help child

or group on a skill, in this case how to figure out how to write a word

• Example 3 Word study• Wrote out sets of words with endings for

personal journal or word wall

Framework for teaching reading and writing

Is this sociopsycholinquistic ?• Language Experience• Read –Aloud Time• Shared Reading (writing)• Writers workshop• Independent writing • Interactive writing• Independent writing• Describe an reading and writing activity for each

of the above. Site page no. Can use Word Matters.

Is this Sociopsycholinquistic?

Shared Reading

Guided Reading

Independent Reading

QUIZ T OR F7 minutes

• 1. The text recommends 2 to 2 ½ hours of integrated language arts activities (reading and writing) each.

• 2. Shared reading is child and teacher reading together using enlarged text. Text may contain repetitive words.

• 3. A word wall is an effective method to organize words for children to use for independent writing or reading. A word wall may organize words according to the alphabet or by endings.

• 4 Ineffective reading/writing strategy: A teacher using letter/ alphabet books to help students investigate words.

• What was the strategy called that we did at the beginning of class.• As teachers sometimes we may want to draw certain words to a

child’s attention and sometimes we would not want to interrupt reading. Using ideas from Word Matters, Explain.
