The document provides information on implementing small group guided reading instruction and literacy centers at Garth Elementary School to improve reading scores. It outlines steps to be taken which include aligning instruction with state standards, using a guided reading framework and literacy centers for independent practice, and providing professional development for teachers. Assessment data shows a decline in reading scores from 2012 to 2013. The document discusses essential components of guided reading including forming small, flexible groups based on data, selecting appropriate texts, and teaching reading strategies before, during and after reading.
I am sorry to bother you, I know how you are busy. I have attached the developing student reading skills presentation and proposal updated. Please let me know if you have any comments..
This slide presentation explains the problems and solutions of EFL / ESL reading classes. You can also find the theories of reading and reading skills in accordance with the Common Reference Levels.
Teaching writing
Of the 4 skills, writing is arguably the most problematic for learners and often the most challenging
for teachers. Writing is not easy particularly when compared with speaking, where
reformulations, body language, clues from listeners can do much to compensate for a lack of
precision or inaccuracies when communicating messages. Time is also a factor – writing may be
relegated to homework tasks as there is often a feeling that writing in class uses up time which can
be more usefully spent on other activities. However, as this workshop aims to show, developing
good writing skills is conducive to the development of other language skills including
communication skills.

Fostering interest in literacy The Framework of Reading Literacyaskrunu
The Framework of Literacy Instruction is a guide of how to choose text and instructional strategies which can support learners in a literacy environment.
Effective readers are dependent upon effective literacy programs
Teachers should assess their learners and establish a program which speaks to the students interests, identities, concerns, and strengths/weaknesses.
Students should be given an environment which is conducive to learning how to effectively read and write.
Students should be given the opportunity to connect with the text through cultural identity, interest, and critical analysis

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

8. Research Evidence
Students with reading difficulties who are taught in
small groups learn more than students who are
instructed as a whole class. (National Reading
Panel, 2000)
9
10. Rationale
• As children work through text they develop a
network of strategies for attending to
different sources of information.
11. Essential Elements of Guided
Reading
• Small group of students with similar needs
and processing
• Scaffolding/ Supporting their learning
• Enable students to use and develop reading
strategies on continuous text
• Ultimate goal: students learn to use
independent reading strategies successfully
12. Goal of Guided Reading
Strengthen students’ processing power
across increasingly challenging texts
13. Form Flexible Groups Based on
Assessment
• Keep group size small (5-8 students)
• Limit number of groups to three if possible
• Base small groups on instructional need with specific
instructional strategies in mind
• Monitor progress of high risk students more
frequently to make instructional changes, small
group changes, and to accelerate learning

14. How do you assess your
students?
Currently:
• What tools do you use to collect data?
• What data do you use to make instructional
decisions?
• How often do you assess your students?

• Cognitive actions essentially the same while
processing print but readers are applying
them to more complex text.
– Require more background knowledge
– More variety of genre
– More mature ideas and themes, perspectives
– Sustain Comprehension
– Higher level decoding and fluency
