2. Key Considerations
in a Balance Literacy
Approach
Teaching basic skills: literature that naturally lends
itself to language study — specifically, stories that
contain repetitious language or language patterns,
such as Bill Martin Jr.'s Brown Bear, Brown Bear,
What Do You See? and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.
Use a whole-part-whole approach, immersing
students in real examples of whatever it is you want
to teach.
Effective Grouping and Planning: Establish a
routine and stick to it. Effective flexible grouping
takes time, so don't get frustrated if things don't
work immediately.
Strive to make activities multilevel. Multilevel
instruction acknowledges that children come to the
classroom with different backgrounds and abilities.
3. Balanced literacy—a perspective that there is no one best
way to teach reading and writing. Successful programs
are balanced with a combination of explicit instruction,
small-group and whole-class literacy activities, and
independent reading and writing opportunities. They
might include several instructional approaches.

Covering Content: Choose interesting activities that promote
literacy skills and content knowledge:
Effective grouping and planning: with small –groups, and on-
on-one instruction, independent reading and writing.
When you teach literacy and content together, you expand
students' chances to learn both and have the students create
their personal information book and build their reading and
writing skills.
Dealing with Assessment:
In providing assessment of our students; we perform
basically a tracking data of what they learn, then move thru
out the classroom monitoring their work and sharing info
Balance Literacy Approach
4. When teachers include print materials throughout
the room, not just in the library corner, it
increases children’s attention to written language
while relating to learning in other domains
(McGee & Richgels, 2011).
Writing:
Teach students how to hold pencil correctly
Teacher laminate white paper with two/three
letters of their first name trace and erase,
when mastery that skills move on to two
more letters according how long the name
Choice time the students tries hard to write
what they can independently
5. What are the Four Basic Languages Skills?
Reading
Writing
Listening
Speaking
The skills work in pairs. When you’re reading or listening, you’re
consuming a language.
when start speaking in their target language from the day they
start learning.
When you’re writing or speaking, you’re producing a language.
There’s no rule saying you have one of the best ways to learn a
new language is with podcasts. Read more about how to use
podcasts to learn a language. to spend an hour a day practicing
your listening comprehension skills.

6. Support how your plan aligns with
the Common Core State Standards
(CCSS) or your individual state
standards.
Cognitive Development (including Emergent Language and
Literacy, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and the Arts)
Emergent Language and Literacy: BK teacher candidates understand
the developmental sequence and use a wide range of learning
experiences to facilitate children’s • development of receptive and
expressive oral language • literacy acquisition including print
concepts, alphabetic principles, and phonemic awareness • emergent
written expression .
7. Justify how your plan explicitly
incorporates language across the
curriculum
. Explicitly language for teachers allows them to maintain
and help students with limited English proficiency to
improve
That all students can improve the quality of students learning
to 100%.With a structured and monitored approach to
explicitly teaching.
8. Explain how your plan incorporates the
21st-century requirement for children to
be technoliterate.
Technology is here to stay, it’s very important to have technology in the
lesson plan and curriculum. My plan incorporates the 21st-century
requirement for children to be technoliterate because they’re engage in
learning, the 4 ‘c skill will have impacts on their learning: Critical
thinking: Finding solutions to problems, Creativity: Thinking outside
the box Collaboration: Working with others Communication: Talking to
others will builds their vocabulary. “Technology and media to offer
opportunities to extend in learning early childhood.” (National
Association of Education of Young Children, & Fred Roger’s Centers)
