Editor's Notes
- ESL vs. ELL Why do we care? This is where these kids are getting reading intervention Short time, but it needs to be effective!
- Brief description of the study: Authentic Texts Word Sorts Using them Both PSI Phonological Awareness Assessment
- Graphs or numbers
- Students to be engaged in the texts they are reading Students comparing text features and actively thinking aloud as they work through their sorts See students making connections between word sorts and the texts they are reading
- So… how do we actually do this for our ESL students?
- Words Their Way Word Sorting: Draws upon our innate ability and propensity to categorize information Students, by categorizing, are exploring and discovering patterns which helps them gain meaning Works well for tactile/kinesthetic learners CRUCIAL for ELLs/ESL students: builds vocabulary, reinforces English vowel sounds (emergent through within-word), builds on rhyming
- EXAMPLE -If I was working with students I would say “circle the part of the word that isn’t ible or able and have a look at what’s left” -Ask for generalizations about when to use able/ible -Always some oddballs
- -Lots of other activities you can do with word sorts -Lots of extension activities to get kids writing and incorporating games, all found in Words Their way
- The most unpredictable part of the study Picked books based on INTEREST first, “Level” second The interest propelled motivation, students stepped out of “comfort zone” and volunteered to read The interest also facilitated close text reading; asking about definitions, making connections Students WANTED to read
