I CAN!
"I can" statements are what we expect students to do. These statements are developed from The Common Core Standards :http://www.corestandards.org/the-standards . We post them and read them daily. Students are prompted to self-assess throughout instruction, based upon "I can" statements, and instruction adjusted. Students are assessed upon "I can" statements. This is what we are working on:
I can...Falling into Next Week!
I will continue to add assignments on LearnZillion for those rainy or too hot days. You can still access Moby Max also and keep your skills up friends. I hope you do! Fifth grade is around the corner. Reading Intervention at HomePaired Reading
The student reads aloud in tandem with an accomplished reader. At a student signal, the helping reader stops reading, while the student continues on. When the student commits a reading error, the helping reader resumes reading in tandem. Materials:
Preparation: Steps in Implementing This Intervention: Step 1: Sit with the student in a quiet location without too many distractions. Position the book selected for the reading session so that both you and the student can easily follow the text. Step 2: Say to the student, "Now we are going to read aloud together for a little while. Whenever you want to read alone, just tap the back of my hand like this [demonstrate] and I will stop reading. If you come to a word you don't know, I will tell you the word and begin reading with you again.". Step 3: Begin reading aloud with the student. If the student misreads a word, point to the word and pronounce it. Then have the student repeat the word. When the student reads the word correctly, resume reading through the passage. Step 4: When the child delivers the appropriate signal (a hand tap), stop reading aloud and instead follow along silently as the student continues with oral reading. Be sure occasionally to praise the student in specific terms for good reading (e.g., "That was a hard word. You did a nice job sounding it out!"). Step 5: If, while reading alone, the child either commits a reading error or hesitates for longer than 5 seconds, point to the error-word and pronounce it. Then tell the student to say the word. When the student pronounces the error-word correctly, begin reading aloud again in unison with the student. Step 6: Continue reading aloud with the student until he or she again signals to read alone. References
