There is no single correct method for teaching a student how to read. A teacher must try all methods until they find what works best for that child. Throughout this time, a teacher must use a diagnostic pattern to prevent difficulties in learning to read as well as how to improve a student’s reading so that they can reach their potential for reading.…
| Explicit reading instruction is teacher directed (Goeke, 2009). The teacher uses explanation and demonstration to teach specific reading skills and strategies (Goeke, 2009). The teacher also provides corrective feedback to his or her students as the students attempt to apply the new knowledge (Goeke, 2009).…
In conclusion, phonics and phonemic awareness are great options to use in teaching reading skills to students. As per the author it allows that students to use their language to memorize sound with letter and then words to picture, students relate word families and so on. To not use this method of teaching would be doing the students a disservice and may hinder their success in…

Guided reading is an instructional approach that teacher uses when students are reading at the same level of instruction. The teacher selects books from certain reading levels to guide students to make connections from print to the text. The books are easily read with the support of the teacher. Challenges and opportunities for problem solving are offered in the text. Choice selection of the books from the teacher will expand their strategies.…
The primary spelling inventory informed me of the word knowledge my students bring to their reading and writing. The results from the primary spelling inventory informed me of the spelling patterns my students struggled with the most and the area in which they needed the most support. The informal reading inventory helped me determine the reading instructional needs of my students. I used the results of this assessment in order to choose the accurate guided reading level books that they would read during free reading. The retelling provided me with information regarding my students’ comprehension level. Providing my students with puppets created a more engaging way for them to retell the story to me. Using puppets also helped them think of the order in which the events happened in by thinking back to the print and the illustrations. This retelling helped me guide instruction by knowing the strengths and weaknesses of my students when talking about the story elements of our focus book. The running record helped me determine my students’ highest instructional level and the strengths and weaknesses in…
In comparison, when students are reading with a teacher they are more nerves and more likely to make mistakes when reading. Maisinger, Schwanenflugel, Bradley, and Stahl (2004) in their study concluded when students are given the opportunity to participate in partner reading they have higher self confidence based on the positive feedback they receive from their partner. The research also measured students ability to stay on task when given the responsibility of reading with a selective partner. Students did follow directions and worked according to the given instruction (pp. 134- 137). Helping students improve their fluency is helping them over come those challenging words they continue to struggle with. Students also need to build confidence when they are reading to avoid making mistakes when they are reading. They need to have a sense of confidence when they read to someone else, and by hearing how their partner read aloud will allow readers to have an reading expectation from someone their age. The study did not mentioned students with learning disabilies or ELL, but this can be adaptable to them by placing them with students who are closer to their reading level and not their grade reading level. The study making the connection of improving fluency with the use of peer assistance with help the four students participating in the literacy intervention by assisting the person who is reading. They will be able to help each other by reading those unknown words and listening to how to read in a normal reading paist.- Check if anything else needs to added to this…
When beginning reading instruction to a student just learning to read an emphasis on should be placed on reading aloud, phonemic awareness, phonics and sight words. Reading aloud brings the joy of reading to a child, on a superficial level they get to learn what a book is and how enjoyable it is. Children can see how to hold a book and gain print awareness. As children get older they can gain valuable vocabulary and understand how a fluent reader sounds.…
Therefore children become literate if they are placed in an environment that is rich in print and are encouraged to explore it just as they master the spoken language if they are spoken to by others as it provides an opportunity for them to respond (Mason & Allen, 1986, as cited in Module 4, Unit 2, p. 32). Goodman (1970) in his studies found that children made 60%-80% less errors when they read words in context. Therefore, children should focus on the meaning of what they read rather than laboriously sounding out individual words. Goswami (1986 & 1988) as cited in Module 4, Unit 2, p. 29 , states that children can read unknown words by making analogies with known words. Sounding out the words is a last resort strategy and they are given little guidance on how to do this.…

The article makes a clear case against relying solely on phonemic awareness and phonics instruction as a strategy for teaching older struggling students how to read. In an effort for a "quick-fix" solution, many schools in the past have elected to saturate students with phonemic awareness and phonics instruction. Often there has been little thought about the purpose for such instruction; likewise there is little evidence of its effectiveness.…
