With the host teacher, identify approximately 5 students for whom a Shared Reading Lesson would be appropriate (or, if your field placement is in grade 2 or 3, identify a small group of students for whom the Shared Reading Lesson is most closely appropriate – your task is to learn to effectively plan and deliver a Shared Reading Lesson). 2. Select text appropriate for a Shared Reading Lesson (ex. repeated or patterned text, a poem, a song, a short, powerful narrative or expository text). 3. Select the format for the text (ex. big book, chart, overhead transparency, sentence strips), and practice reading the text (with a pointer) using the format you have selected. 4. Develop a Shared Reading Lesson plan, using the format provided in class (see attached lesson planning guidelines and notes). In the procedure column of your lesson plan, you must include (1) the Shared Reading Lesson steps (introduce book, picture walk, teacher reads text, student response, teacher rereads text and invites students to read along), and (2) direct instruction steps (Explain, Demonstrate, Guide, Practice, Application, Students Reflect) that focus on the foundational concepts about print.

Shared Reading Lesson Plan and Reflection (30 points) Candidates develop a lesson plan that uses explicit, direct instruction steps to support students’ development of literacy. Candidates apply current theories of second language reading and writing development for ELLs to construct appropriate lesson plan. Candidates implement their lesson and reflect on their learning. Embedded in the development of candidates’ understanding about this type of lesson is information about how theories of second language reading and writing development for ELLs may be incorporated to enhance student learning.

Candidates will scaffold student learning by applying the principles of research-based reading instruction and integrating the six components of reading by writing and implementing and reflecting about a Shared Reading Lesson. Related to the Shared Reading Lesson, candidates will identify defining aspects of each of the six components. (oral language, phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency) and identify a specific research-based strategy for each that could be used to build upon the Shared Reading Lesson.

1. With the host teacher, identify approximately 5 students for whom a Shared Reading Lesson would be appropriate (or, if your field placement is in grade 2 or 3, identify a small group of students for whom the Shared Reading Lesson is most closely appropriate – your task is to learn to effectively plan and deliver a Shared Reading Lesson).

2. Select text appropriate for a Shared Reading Lesson (ex. repeated or patterned text, a poem, a song, a short, powerful narrative or expository text).

3. Select the format for the text (ex. big book, chart, overhead transparency, sentence strips), and practice reading the text (with a pointer) using the format you have selected.

4. Develop a Shared Reading Lesson plan, using the format provided in class (see attached lesson planning guidelines and notes). In the procedure column of your lesson plan, you must include (1) the Shared Reading Lesson steps (introduce book, picture walk, teacher reads text, student response, teacher rereads text and invites students to read along), and (2) direct instruction steps (Explain, Demonstrate, Guide, Practice, Application, Students Reflect) that focus on the foundational concepts about print. The instruction will need to explicitly address the six components of reading (language, phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension).

After you deliver your lesson, write a three level reflection of your experience:

Early Literacy Assessment and Reflection (15 points) Candidates assess one student using a battery of informal early literacy assessments to identify and recognize student’s strength and/or difficulty with reading and early literacy development. Candidates identify various methods for assessing student’s literacy progress and various methods for the diagnosis, prevention, and intervention of common emergent literacy difficulties. Candidates will listen to

information provided by the instructor about how to triangulate data from appropriate reading assessments (primarily the Early Literacy Assessment battery by J. Johns) to guide instruction. Candidates will discuss how to triangulate data from appropriate reading assessments to guide instruction and record information in class notes. They will use the Early Literacy Assessment battery by J. Johns to consider the various types of data they have collected that may be used for triangulation. Reflection

Explain how this experience informs your thinking about administering reading assessments. (Reflective Writing)

What did you know about assessing early literacy prior to this experience?

What did you learn about assessing early literacy knowledge after this experience?

What did you learn about assessing early literacy knowledge as related to teaching reading?

Why is it important to assess early literacy?

Why would you use this assessment with your students when you begin teaching?

What have you learned about reading assessments (in general)

What have you learned about teaching reading from this experience?

Explain any modifications used with the ESOL and the ESE students. If none were used, what could

be done to accommodate ESOL and ESE students? Were the modifications helpful? Explain why or

why not.

Early Literacy Assessment Protocol Report

(IMPORTANT: The following is a model of the protocol report you need to use for your early literacy assessment. You need to follow the format exactly. Data have been entered in various places to show you what should be entered there. You should eliminate this data and put in your own. It is very, very important that you enter data from your student and that you interpret that data. As you begin to learn to develop protocol reports, this model will help scaffold your thinking, but, again, you should not just copy and paste without thinking carefully about your student’s performance and your interpretation of your student’s performance.)

Early Literacy Assessment

Purpose: This evaluation is designed to assess the literacy knowledge and abilities of children who are at early emergent stages of reading and writing. The evaluation consists of tasks that are similar to everyday activities that students encounter in classrooms.

A. Alphabet Knowledge provides information about the student’s knowledge of upper-case and lower-case letters of the alphabet.

B. The Writing task reveals the student’s ability to write letters, words and sentences.

C. Literacy Knowledge provides information about the student’s knowledge of parts of a book, print directionality, letters, words and sentences.

D. Wordless Picture Reading provides information about the student’s ability to tell a story using pictures and reread the written dictation of the story.

E. Caption Reading provides information about the student’s ability to read a brief story with helpful picture clues.

F. The Auditory Discrimination task reveals the student’s ability to distinguish between words that differ in one phoneme (sound).

G. The Phoneme Awareness (Spelling) task reveals the student’s ability to associate letters with the sounds in words.

H. The Phoneme Segmentation task reveals the student’s ability to segment phonemes (or sounds) in spoken words.

I. The Basic Word Knowledge task reveals the student’s ability to identify the most basic high-frequency words in English.

J. The Pre-Primer Passage task reveals the student’s ability to read connected text. Description: Sasha, a five-year-old Kindergarten student, was invited to participate in a variety of reading and writing activities that provide information about her emerging literacy abilities. Explanations for each activity were given, and the student had ample time to complete each task. Findings: A. Alphabet Knowledge Sasha was able to identify __ out of 26 upper-case letters of the alphabet. Sasha was able to identify __ out of 28 lower-case letters of the alphabet. Sasha made the following substitutions in lower-case letter identification:
