...Running head: Guided Reading Guided Reading for Every Student Samantha McAdoo Grand Canyon University: UNV 501 July 18, 2012 Guided Reading for Every Student Potenza-Radis, C. L. (2010). A STUDY EXAMINING HOW STRUGGLING THIRD GRADE READERS, AS MEMBERS OF A GUIDED READING GROUP, EXPERIENCE PEER-LED LITERATURE DISCUSSIONS. College Reading Association Yearbook, (31), 61-80. When a student struggles with reading it can be difficult to get them to participate in classroom activities. This study showed that students who participate in guided reading are “able to engage in peer-led discussion with advanced understanding” (Potenza-Radis, 2010, 73). This article is deemed scholarly and given authority due to the peer-review process. Simpson, C. G., Spencer, V. G., Button, R., & Rendon, S. (2007). Using Guided Reading with Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Teaching Exceptional Children Plus, 4(1), 2-9. In the modern classroom more special students with disabilities are being pulled out of special education classrooms and put into regular classrooms. The responsilibty of being able to teach students with a wide range of levels (including disabilities) has been placed upon the teachers. Guided reading is ideal for teaching a mixed class because its “fundamental purpose is to meet the varying instructional needs of all students” (Simpson, 2007, 3). Not only does this peer-review...

...the time. That is how they began to connect words to items and ideas. The stage know as beginning literacy children learn phoneme-grapheme correspondences as they begin to decode and spell words. I work with my kindergartener everyday helping her practice her sight words and singing her songs to spell her colors. The stage known as fluent literacy children have learned how to read and write and now can concentrate more on comprehension in reading and composing paragraphs in writing. 3.) Some strategies teachers use in teaching reading and writing are shared reading, the language experience approach and interactive writing. Shared reading is an interactive reading experience that occurs when students join in or share the reading of a big book or other text while guided by a teacher. Cross-aged reading buddies is another way teachers use shared reading. This is when older students are paired up with younger students to read to each other .I think this is a very effective strategy to help younger children become more confident in reading aloud.

...Understanding Phonemic Awareness and Phonics for K-3 Instruction Grand Canyon University: RDG 512 August 27, 2014 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to gain an understanding of how phonemic awareness and phonics impacts reading and writing for beginning readers. A definition of both phonemic awareness and phonics will be given as well as strategies to teach both. Developmental stages, appropriate ages for teaching these skills and strategies, and the purpose of both will be explained. Different assessment options will also be discussed. Introduction Children begin learning sounds and words from the time they are born. They are even exposed to hearing their mother’s voice while still in the womb. It is important that children are exposed to letters and words at an early age as well as have books read to them. These are factors in learning how to read. Two of the most important elements that emerging readers need to know in order to successfully read are phonemic awareness and phonics. These two concepts are different, but must work as a team for one to read. In the beginning grades, teachers must concentrate greatly on both of these concepts to make sure that the students have the foundation that is needed in order to begin reading. In this paper, definitions of both phonemic awareness and phonics will be shared along with strategies that can be explicitly taught to assist in learning how to read. The sequence of developmental stages, the appropriate ages...

...kindergarteners to be reading at the new benchmark levels set by our district through Common Core has become increasingly difficult. In this article, the teacher researchers found that many kindergarten and first-grade students did not have the reading readiness skills to be reading at their benchmark target. The purpose of the project was to improve the students overall reading ability. The project was for about four months. There were 74 students and 74 parents that participated in this research study. The teacher researchers noticed that the students lacked reading readiness skills that were necessary to meet grade level benchmarks. The teacher researchers used a parent survey, baseline assessments, and observational checklist to document evidence. The teacher researchers found from the parent survey that students who lacked interest in books and reading them demonstrated low reading readiness skills. The baseline assessment the students took showed an overall weakness in letter identification, initial sounds, medial sounds, and ending sounds. The observational checklist indicated difficulty with segmenting sounds, letter sound knowledge, inability to rhyme, decoding difficulties and reading miscues, poor comprehension, lack of interest in books, lack of print awareness skills, poor attentions spans, lack of response during whole group instruction, and off-task behaviors. The teacher researchers used a variety of interventions to improve their students overall reading skills. These...

...balanced literacy, based on where they fit in the framework. As a teacher my personal beliefs will be discussed about how I think students learn best through interactive lessons and examples. Introduction A Balanced Literacy program helps to create an environment that fosters the necessary language and phonic develop that students need in literacy. Through balanced literacy it will instill in students the necessary reading skills that they need in order to grow into proficient readers. Balanced literacy is made up of five different components that cater to individual needs for students to become lifelong readers. These components are the read aloud, guided reading, shared reading, independent reading, and word study. Researchers of education have stated that successful implementation of a balanced literacy program has to be teacher directed and have activities for students focused on their needs. In this paper it will address a balanced literacy program that will fit the needs of a second grade group of students. The program will implement the components of reading, writing, and language/word study. While also acknowledging specific instructional approaches that can be used in the program, then ending with a personal take...

... The program stands firmly on the premise that all students can learn to read and write. This balance between reading and writing allows students to receive the teaching needed in order to reach grade level status, while allowing students to work at a level that is not frustrating for them. There are several models currently used in schools today. Literacy Collaborative The Literacy Collaborative is a model for teaching children in a child-centered classroom, providing many opportunities for real life reading and writing experiences. Literacy Collaborative classrooms focus on four different types of reading experiences: Reading aloud to children, Shared reading-whole class, Guided reading-small group and Independent reading. The goal of the Literacy Collaborative is to help children become readers and writers who enjoy and value literacy. Shared Reading Shared Reading is a link in helping students become independent readers. It allows the teacher to model and support students using prediction and confirming skills. It allows less confident students the chance to share stories/articles/poetry in a non-threatening situation. It focuses on the meaning, fun, enjoyment, characters and sequence of a story and allows them to relate it back to their own experiences. It promotes discussion, problem-solving and critical thinking by students. During the initial reading, the teacher: • Introduces the book (shares theme, examines title, cover, illustrations, and makes predictions) ...
