Teaching Reading & Guiding Students to Choose “Good Fit Books” A Presentation by: Alyssa Quartulli, PYP2 Teacher, Manglerud skole. Presentasjon på Tr*ffpunkt Mikromarc 8. november 2017
CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) has strengths such as allowing students to naturally learn a language in context rather than through memorization, acquire cross-disciplinary skills by using a different language to learn subjects, and learn collaborative thinking skills. However, it also has weaknesses like difficulties in understanding discouraging some students and requiring teachers to carefully plan each lesson and assist any students struggling. Opportunities include motivating students by learning both a language and subject, using collaborative and practical methodologies, and teaching life skills, but threats comprise having too many students per classroom to properly attend to, less motivation from students facing difficulties in the foreign language, and intense work planning activities and materials.
This document provides tips for choosing and reading nonfiction texts based on a child's reading ability and background knowledge. It recommends using the five finger rule to select texts at an appropriate difficulty level and noticing text features like tables of contents and headings. The tips suggest asking questions before, during, and after reading, taking notes in the child's own words on important points, rereading when necessary, and reading multiple books on a topic to improve nonfiction reading skills.
This document contains information from multiple sources on teaching English language learners (ELLs), including:
1) Three categories of ELL students: long-term English learners, recent arrivals with limited schooling, and recent arrivals with adequate schooling.
2) Challenges a teacher faces with one ELL-certified teacher for five schools and only 30 minutes per week of ELL instruction. Most students are recent arrivals with interrupted schooling.
3) Strategies used at one school to help an ELL student from Russia, such as using pictures instead of words and meeting him at his level for vocabulary, reading, and math.
This document discusses extensive reading as an effective way to acquire a foreign language. It defines extensive reading as reading large quantities of easy, level-appropriate texts. Extensive reading focuses on fluency rather than language details, and allows students to self-select texts from graded readers or simplified materials. The document provides examples of practical activities teachers can use to introduce extensive reading, such as whole class reading, self-selected individual reading, and projects to evaluate reading. It notes the advantages of extensive reading include developing learner autonomy, providing comprehensible input, and enhancing overall language skills and motivation to read more.
Compass Classic Readers provide adapted versions of classic works of literature for beginning and intermediate English language learners. The stories are retold using vocabulary and sentences appropriate for different grade levels. Each reader helps students improve their vocabulary and reading skills while enjoying famous stories. Key features include graded texts, discussion questions, a glossary, audio recordings, and a workbook with additional activities to reinforce learning.
*A six-book series focusing on practical, high-frequency words
*Enhances vocabulary of learners from upper elementary to advanced
*Useful for both spoken and written English for any English purpose
The document discusses the importance of vocabulary for students' academic success. It states that students with larger vocabularies can understand new ideas and concepts more quickly than those with limited vocabularies. Research shows a strong correlation between word knowledge and reading comprehension, so inadequate vocabulary growth will negatively impact reading ability. The document calls for more vocabulary instruction at all grade levels and notes students should add an average of 2,000-3,000 new words per year to their reading vocabularies. It provides some keys to effective vocabulary instruction such as developing a love of language, reading extensively, and teaching individual words and word learning strategies.

How can esl teachers support teachers in otherlindsesl
1) ESL teachers can support mainstream teachers and students in various ways, such as providing vocabulary lists, visual aids, graphic organizers, adapted texts and homework help.
2) In primary schools, ESL teachers can either pull students out of class for focused English instruction or push into the classroom to co-teach. Close communication between ESL and mainstream teachers is important.
3) In secondary schools, ESL teachers can implement sheltered instruction by co-teaching content area subjects to make material comprehensible for English learners while developing their language skills. This requires collaboration between ESL and subject area teachers.
This document discusses Stephen Krashen's hypotheses for language acquisition and provides guidance for teaching listening and speaking based on these hypotheses. The key points are:
1) According to Krashen, language is acquired through comprehensible input rather than formal instruction, and acquisition, not learning, leads to improved ability.
2) For listening and speaking, students should be exposed to comprehensible input before producing speech, and errors should be minimized to build confidence.
3) Teachers should focus on meaning over form, encourage fluency through tasks and group work, and correct errors later to prevent fossilization. Flexibility is needed to meet different student needs.
Intensive English Program students are ever-changing in language background and origin. Recently, additional differences have more commonly surfaced, including learning disabilities, academic learning gaps, and increased lower English proficiency-level students. This session will increase awareness of these issues and discuss resources and ways to understand and develop strategies to address them in the ESL classroom.
*Provides beginning English language learners enjoyable and easy reading practice of famous stories from around the world.
*Young English language learners will enjoy developing their vocabulary and reading fluency with the easy-to-read adaptations included in this varied collection of well-known tales for children.
The document discusses guided reading strategies for teaching literacy to students with significant disabilities, including using a variety of purposes for reading, types of guided reading lessons, repetition with different texts, and focusing initial reading instruction on decoding words without pictures for support.
The document discusses strategies for teaching English Language Learners (ELLs) to be active readers. It describes how many ELL students in a 4th grade summer class were passive readers who did not understand texts at deeper levels. The teacher modeled active reading strategies and used culturally relevant texts. This included stopping to discuss difficult words and modeling thinking aloud. Later, students began participating more by discussing texts in partners and writing thoughts on post-its. Over lessons, the students became more willing to share ideas and their reading comprehension seemed to improve, showing ELL students can comprehend at high levels with the right support.
(1) Extensive reading improves reading ability through practice that improves comprehension and efficiency, while simultaneously building knowledge and enhancing subsequent reading. It also promotes language acquisition and improves writing and speaking. Extensive reading is enjoyable for students and helps them develop confidence in reading in their L2.
(2) Both acquisition and learning are needed for literacy development, which can be achieved through intensive and extensive reading. However, teachers often do not implement extensive reading due to lack of time, resources, and understanding of how to incorporate it into their instruction due to curricular requirements and educational policies.
This document provides strategies for using reading comprehension techniques before, during, and after reading nonfiction texts for 6th grade students. Some strategies outlined include using KWL charts and making predictions before reading, marking texts and asking questions during reading, and creating graphic organizers and summarizing after reading. The goal of these techniques is to help students better understand, recall, and engage with what they are reading.
The document discusses fluency and interventions in reading instruction. It provides background on why fluency is important and defines fluency in reading. It also defines interventions as additional, targeted instruction for struggling readers. The document then outlines characteristics of effective school-wide strategies, classroom instruction strategies by grade, and special interventions by grade based on research. Some key strategies discussed include scaffolding, gradual release of responsibility, repeated reading, and comprehension instruction. It concludes by noting questions around interventions when first language literacy instruction is not possible and how culturally responsive teaching relates to literacy instruction details.
This document discusses the four main language skills - listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It provides details on each skill, including what they involve, different types, and how they have been developed and practiced over time. In the past, listening skills were developed through learning in gurukuls, ashrams, and forests. Now, e-learning platforms allow for practice of listening skills anywhere. Speaking skills are important for meetings, discussions, and presentations. Reading involves interpreting written text, while writing represents language visually and allows communication of ideas.
Extensive reading involves reading large amounts of material for general understanding rather than close analysis. It aims to promote reading as a habit and create positive attitudes toward reading. Extensive reading exposes students to different types of materials and genres to prepare them for more intensive reading. However, it faces challenges like limited book availability, lack of awareness of its importance, and engaging classroom activities. While often done outside of class, extensive reading has a big impact in developing student literacy and is the beginning of their learning journey. Without extensive reading, students will lack motivation to read which can undermine foreign language learning.
This resource provides information to help teachers and parents identify potential reading difficulties in students. It lists "red flags" in preschoolers and early elementary students that could indicate problems with reading acquisition or efficiency, such as not knowing letter sounds or struggling to blend sounds. The purpose is to increase awareness, not diagnose specific disorders. The document also describes dyslexia as a difficulty with reading fluency and comprehension despite normal intelligence, involving issues with phonological awareness and other language skills. It aims to help teachers support students with reading difficulties through assessments and targeted teaching strategies.
Balanced Literacy is a comprehensive approach to reading and writing instruction that has three main components: reading, writing, and language/word study. It is designed to help all students learn to read and write effectively. The approach uses different methods for primary and intermediate classrooms, including read alouds, shared reading, guided reading, literacy centers, modeled writing, shared writing, interactive writing, and guided writing. It also includes various activities for language and word study like phonics, spelling, vocabulary, and handwriting instruction. The goal is to use students' time more efficiently and help all children succeed as readers and writers.
The Role of the Teacher in Balanced LiteracyArlene Lewin
The document describes a balanced literacy program that incorporates all components of language arts acquisition through a comprehensive approach. It includes reading instruction through various approaches including phonics, strategies, vocabulary and comprehension, as well as writing, spelling, oral language, and content area study. The balanced literacy program models reading and writing, and incorporates shared, guided, and independent reading and writing. It aims to provide cultivate skills in reading, writing, thinking, speaking and listening for all students.
The driving principle of this session that oral language development is so critical to concept attainment that essentially the person in the classroom that does the most speaking, does the most learning. Intentional design for oral language interactions all day long, creates the space for multiple voices, perspectives and more learning.
Head Start Conference Power Point Presentationdonnaandrebecca
The document describes a reading program between Windham Middle School 5th grade students and Windham Head Start preschoolers. The goals are to improve literacy skills for preschoolers, help students improve their reading skills and confidence, and promote reading as a fun activity. Students receive training on selecting books, reading aloud, and engaging preschoolers. Initial feedback found students highly motivated to practice reading and engaged preschoolers with questions, activities, and vocabulary. The program aims to strengthen community connections through joint library visits and parent workshops.
This document discusses challenges that ESL students may face and provides teaching tips based on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles. It notes that ESL students will have varying proficiencies in reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. It also addresses issues with online translation programs and differences in students' cultural background knowledge. Teaching tips include providing information in multiple formats, checking for understanding, using simple language and examples, encouraging thinking in English, reviewing vocabulary, and addressing cultural differences sensitively.

Shared reading is an instructional strategy where students join in reading a large text along with a teacher. It allows students to engage with texts that may be too difficult to read independently. The teacher models reading skills and comprehension strategies to help students develop as readers. Shared reading provides students opportunities to gradually take on more responsibility in the reading as their skills and confidence increase.
The document discusses intensive and extensive reading. It states that intensive reading focuses on close analysis, note-taking, and comprehension testing. It aims to understand grammar, syntax, and details. Extensive reading is done quickly for pleasure and overall comprehension rather than perfection. It involves reading large quantities with an emphasis on fluency over analyzing every word. The goal is increased exposure leading to stronger language skills through seeing structure, idioms, and vocabulary in context.

Second Grade Balancy Literacy Program with Daily 5B. J. Zagorac
This presentation provides valuable information about how a balanced literacy program might look for a second grade class with the Daily 5 incorporated into the curriculum.
This document discusses various aspects of reading, including:
- Extensive reading which encourages choosing books for pleasure, and intensive reading where teachers direct reading to develop skills.
- Approaches to reading like phonics, look-and-say, and whole sentence reading.
- Stages of reading development from ages 5-10.
- Models of literacy like bottom-up, top-down, and interactive models.
- Strategies for developing literacy like using scaffolds, conducting read alouds, and introducing new books.
This document discusses different approaches to literacy instruction including basals, literature-based approaches, and individualized reading. It provides details on:
- The basal approach which uses graded anthologies and supplementary materials. Basal lessons include activating prior knowledge, skill lessons, reading comprehension, and follow up activities.
- Literature-based approaches center literary selections as the core materials and allow for tailoring to student interests. Models include core texts, text sets, and thematic units.
- Individualized reading workshops include preparation, independent reading time, literature discussion groups, teacher conferences, and extension activities.
- Other approaches covered are language experience, Reading Recovery, Success for All, Four Blocks, and Early Steps
This document discusses the language-based approach to teaching reading. It explains that this approach helps students focus on how language is used in literary texts. Students engage with texts through language activities rather than just studying facts. The document also provides examples of lesson plans using this approach, including pre-reading discussion, reading aloud, and a post-reading activity where students make scrapbooks about heroes from the text. The rationale is that these activities promote language use among students through discussions, presentations, and describing characters.
This document discusses developing reading skills and effective reading strategies. It outlines different types of reading like extensive reading, intensive reading, receptive reading, skimming and scanning. Extensive reading involves choosing own texts for pleasure while intensive reading is teacher-directed to develop specific skills. The teacher's role is to promote reading, suggest appropriate texts, observe students and give feedback. Effective strategies include looking for topic sentences, using context clues, and identifying logical relationships, while ineffective strategies are mouthing words and translating everything.
This document discusses various traditional and alternative reading techniques that can be used in teaching English as a foreign language. It begins by outlining pre-reading activities like activating background knowledge and establishing a purpose for reading. It then describes different types of reading like scanning, skimming, intensive reading, and extensive reading. The document also provides examples of different reading activities and post-reading activities that can be used to improve students' reading comprehension.
Using the performance standards in grades 4-6: snapshot of where the students are, then use this to plan for where you would like to students to be. Reading and writing discussed.
It is Possible! - Positive Communication and Literacy Outcomes for All ChildrenSpectronics
Plenary from the Special Education Principal's Association of New Zealand (SEPANZ) conference 2011.
This presentation will outline the rationale and principles underlying the balanced literacy approach. This approach ensures that schools provide children with daily opportunities to engage in four key areas of literacy learning: guided reading for vocabulary and language comprehension skills, word instruction for phonics and sight word skills, self-directed reading for learning to choose books and read for pleasure, and writing instruction for targeting written language skills. All of these are critical for children with disabilities to develop conventional reading and writing skills. Specific strategies and adaptations will be outlined. Multi-level activities, which can be implemented with all students in a classroom, will be highlighted, as will ideas for older students who are beginning readers. The authors will discuss their recent experiences with school-wide model literacy programs. All students, regardless of their abilities, have the right to an opportunity to learn to read and write. This presentation will demonstrate how you and your school can make that happen.
A teacher's job is to help students build on their existing knowledge and bring diversity of knowledge into the classroom. Teachers should have high expectations for all students, respect what students bring to class, and provide support to help students achieve. The document discusses how teachers can bridge students' current knowledge to new learning by valuing different perspectives and making curriculum accessible to diverse learners.
This document discusses reading comprehension and strategies to support student comprehension. It defines reading comprehension and lists its various elements, including language comprehension, decoding, background knowledge, and linguistic knowledge. It also discusses factors that influence comprehension, such as oral language development and motivation. The document recommends strategies for teachers, such as scaffolding comprehension strategies, using read alouds, and incorporating background knowledge. It also suggests strategies for students, including using graphic organizers and peer interactions. Finally, it discusses assessments of comprehension, such as oral story retellings and open-ended questions.
The document discusses balanced literacy instruction for middle schools. It summarizes the components of phonics instruction, whole language instruction, and balanced literacy. Balanced literacy combines phonics instruction, whole language approaches, and elements of reading and writing instruction. It includes reading aloud, shared reading, guided reading, mini-lessons, and reading workshop. The writing portion includes shared writing, interactive writing, guided writing, and independent writing. Skills like comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, and the writing process are embedded throughout balanced literacy instruction.

Guided reading involves teachers supporting small, flexible groups of students to read texts at their instructional level. The goal is to help students develop reading strategies. A typical lesson involves introducing a text, reading, discussion, teaching points, and word or comprehension work. While the teacher meets with a group, other students engage in independent literacy activities matched to their needs. Effective planning is key and involves grouping students, selecting texts, and differentiating activities. Lessons should challenge students and regrouping allows continuous progress toward reading independence.
This document provides an overview of a professional development session on creating engaged readers, writers, and researchers through summer reading camp. It describes a typical day in a reading, writing, and research classroom, which includes 1 hour and 15 minutes each of reading workshop, writing workshop, and research workshop. During these workshops, students engage in mini lessons, independent work with teacher conferencing, and strategy sharing. The document emphasizes building background knowledge, developing questions, taking notes, and making students' thinking visible through structured literacy activities. The overall goal is to develop confident, competent, and independent readers, writers, and researchers in six weeks through explicit instruction and student engagement.
Evidence Guided Literacy Oct 2019 - without childrenFaye Brownlie
This document summarizes key points from a two-day professional development session on evidence-guided literacy instruction. The session focused on using student assessment data to identify strengths and gaps in literacy skills, and develop targeted instructional plans. Teachers learned about assessing reading through performance tasks, writing samples, and conferences. The document provides examples of instructional approaches like guided reading, literacy centers, and standard reading assessments. It emphasizes using a range of assessment methods to understand students and align instruction to support all learners in developing literacy.
1. The document discusses goals and techniques for teaching reading, including the three stages of the reading process: pre-reading, while-reading, and post-reading.
2. During pre-reading, teachers use strategies like predicting, setting the scene, skimming, and scanning to facilitate comprehension. While-reading focuses on understanding through questions, inferences, and information transfer.
3. Post-reading tasks provide opportunities for students to relate what they read to their own knowledge and produce language based on what they learned.
This document summarizes key points from a professional learning session on effective literacy practices for inclusive classrooms. It discusses strategies like building background knowledge, using visuals, focusing on meaning over isolated skills, and providing choice and relationships. Specific practices that support struggling readers are highlighted, like one-on-one support and conferencing. Questioning round-robin reading and skills in isolation, it advocates for high expectations, comprehensive instruction, and addressing students' individual needs.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!
