You have examined the components of a balanced literacy program and are beginning to explore what this really means in terms of how teachers design activities for effective literacy instruction. You are also learning that the components of a balanced literacy program translate into different types of instruction for different age and ability levels. For example, an independent reading lesson for kindergarteners is very different from an independent reading lesson for third graders.
Understanding this idea is especially important for teachers of young children because many of the components of early literacy are not as directly apparent. This Assignment helps you recognize the various concepts associated with balanced reading instruction used in most schools, and particularly what these concepts mean in classrooms for young children.
To Prepare:
Review this week’s Learning Resources to explore the components of a balanced literacy program. Pay particular attention to how these components are characterized in settings for young children and emergent readers and writers.
Create a PowerPoint presentation for first grade families describing early literacy concepts. Use the PowerPoint resource to create an effective presentation with details in the notes section. Include the following in the presentation:
Explanation each of the following concepts related to first-grade students:
Fluency
Sight words
Concepts of print
Alphabetic principle
Phonics
Phonemic awareness
Explanation of the difference between phonics and phonemic awareness
Description of one original example of a multisensory activity for phonics instruction and one example of a multisensory activity for phonemic awareness that families can do at home.
Description of at least one original way to provide additional support to the following subgroups of learners in phonics instruction:
English-language learners
Struggling readers
Advanced readers
Remote learners
All of the information in the presentation should be clearly cited and documented in APA format.
