week 7 assignment 2

1. How can you ensure that your struggling readers have access to texts they can easily read?

2. How can you foster a learning environment in which students have many opportunities to practice reading?

3. Describe ways in which you can model fluent reading in your classroom throughout the day.

1. I can ensure the my students who have struggling reading get access to texts they can easily read by giving them a library in their classroom with age appropriate books, opportunities to practice reading, and to listen to my student’s reading without interrupting them.

2. To foster a learning environment in which students have many opportunities to practice reading the classroom has to be full of reading materials. Having their own class library with books that are appropriate and setting aside twenty minutes a day for students to read on their own, with the teacher coaching them, or in small groups.

3 Teachers can model fluent reading in their classroom by reading in phrases and pay attention to sentence structure while they are reading. It is also important to be careful not to encourage word by word reading. Students need to learn how to self regulate and self monitor their own reading.
