Segment 1
How does this activity
engage students who are at different levels of literacy development?
This activity engages students who are at different reading
levels. Students enjoy reading aloud the interesting poems together. She calls
on the students who aren’t necessarily raising their hands and this ensures
everyone pays attention.
During her explicit phonics
lesson, how does Ms. Perez support students' problem-solving skills?
She takes it step by step giving every student a chance. She is
encouraging and positive to her students even when they may make a mistake.
Based on what you saw in the video, what are the different ways
that shared reading can be used to promote literacy?
Shared reading promotes literacy.
It gives every student a chance to feel like they are reading on his or her
own.
Segment 2
Why does she think it's important for students to verbalize
their strategies? What else do you notice about how she helps students build
meaning in text?
It is important for students to
verbalize their strategies because it will help them and help their peers. If a
student verbalizes something that is incorrect she repeats it and asks if it
make sense, then the students are able to say its incorrect on their own. She
helps students build meaning in text by taking the pictures in the book and
making them verbalize what they think.
Segment 3
How does Ms. Perez organize
her classroom to support a wide range of learners?
She organizes her classroom by making groups and each group does
an activity that is special for their learning needs.
How are reading and writing connected in classroom activities?
The students took notes of what they thought were important
while they were reading. This helps the students note taking skills.
Segment 4
How does Ms. Perez use
ongoing individual assessment to guide her instruction? How can the class
profile be used to help group students and differentiate instruction?
She uses individual assessment to help guide her instruction.
She sees which students are strong in reading and who needs extra help. She
then groups her students accordingly. It is essential that she does individual
assessments because then she knows where to place her students and how to guide
each group.
How can ongoing assessment be integrated into your own classroom
practice?
When I am a teacher I would like to
assess my students periodically to track their progress. This will help guide
my instruction.
