Week # 7/ Assignment #1: Fluency Word Chart

       

   
1)     What texts and materials do teachers have in their classrooms that support students' development of fluent reading?
To ensure fluent reading, the instructor in the classroom had materials such as word walls and books that were divided into levels from easy to difficult which allows students at different reading levels to have access to books and read they easily. How do they select vocabulary to teach in all areas of your curriculum?
From my observation in a second-grade classroom, vocabulary words were selected from text that was read in the classroom. The words were then practiced to pronounce the word and then placed on the word wall located in the classroom where everyone can see.
2)      How much time do they allocate to word study?
Word study was about 20 minutes.
3)      What word study routines do they teach and encourage their students to use?
The word study routines the instructor taught was guided reading in small groups.
4)      How do they differentiate instruction and tasks based on their students' needs?
The instructor had to invest time in preparing for daily instruction and word work based on the students’ needs. The instructor would think of strategies that would help students use word study strategically based on their level of development.
