Module 2: Powerpoint questions

Powerpoint: Emergent Readers

From the emergent readers powerpoint I found it extremely helpful to dictate where students are in the learning process according to their ages. I think this is good to know not only as a teacher but for parents to in order to find signs of whether the child is behind on the growth scale. I teach older students but it's good to see where young readers are supposed to be when especially if I get a student who comes in not speaking English or on a very low reading level. These strategies are very useful in helping the students get from emergent to fluent readers and writers.

Powerpoint on Assessment:

Study skills are something that all learners need to know. You use study skills throughout your whole educational career so it's important to teach these skills to young children for long lasting benefit. Reading is something that can truly be assessed through observation but writing must be presented to you as the teacher. Writing can be assessed by the performance and you can gauge a students reading abilities many times through their writing abilities. Rubrics are the best way to express to the student what is expected and how they can strive to do their best for the best results. It also is a good indicator to a teacher where the gaps are if they are trying their best but aren't able to reach the optimum goal. Writing is such an important skill for all learners because in our daily lives as adults we write emails, letters, papers, and so many more things that include such complex detailing. If we can help students succeed with writing early on we are able to prepare them for life.
