Teachers use a multisensory approach to improve their teaching. An example of using the multisensory approach would be:

Creating ABCs using pla-doh and silly foam. Making ABC cookies and eating them. Painting the ABCs on cardboard and writing the ABCs using sidewalk chalk.

What is meant by, "You can't hurry learning?"

Learning can't be rushed by using quick solutions such as flash cards and other more abstract teaching strategies to cover up what was not well learned in the first place.

The BEST example of personalizing learning:

Learning to print and identify the letters in one's OWN NAME.

young children OFTEN

MAY NOT REALIZE you have just said 2 words when you say HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Which of the following words are easiest to HEAR (using phonemic awareness)? Again, remember to look for "continuent" sounds (they continue when you say them / not abrupt).

NOT FAT

Young children come to us with general impressions about their world.

NOT They have concerns about dog bites, mosquittoes, and swimming pool accidents.

Phonemic awareness

NOT is usually a problem area for children who struggle to read

WORD STUDY

NOTstudying words on a page

It is easiest for children to "sound out" words when

Question options: the letter sounds are "continuent" sounds.

Children EMULATE those around them. They want to do what WE do.

Teachers should use this to DEMONSTRATE what they want children to do since children will try to copy us. Teachers should be seen reading and writing so children will want to read and write too.

Success in learning to read and comprehend is highly dependent upon language development.

True

Children such as the little girl in the video (Mira) will get

a head start in her learning since her parents are reading to her and engaging her in language development.

When children have difficulty learning to read, we often find the root of their problem lies with:

awareness of speech sounds

Language and vocabulary develop in children (select the BEST answer):

by reading TO them and discussing what is being read by engaging them in conversations when they interact with adults

It may help prevent some of the reversals we see in young children by:

giving children opportunities to become MORE ACQUAINTED WITH PRINT through ENGAGING HANDS-ON multisensory experiences with the ABCs, especially the confusing ones.

To teach a child the letter "b"

involve the child in writing the letter, tracing the letter, finding the letter in words the child knows, and playing with the letter b so that the child can get a feel of the letter, an image of the letter, and in many ways "experience" the letter so he will not forget it.

FLUENCY

is the skill that keeps on giving.

Which of the following words are easiest to DECODE (sound out, using the alphabetic principle)? Remember, continuent sounds are easier to hear. They continue.

man

Which of the following words can be decoded using the alphabetic principle (can be sounded out letter by letter to produce a word)?

man

Learning to RHYME comes before

not learning to talk

Children most "at risk" of struggling with reading are:

often those who are poor and who have parents who are not well educated.

Children begin learning skills for reading

on the day they are born.

Fluency....

permeates many skill areas--with practice, we can become good at them

The larger UMBRELLA term that covers and includes the important reading skill of phonemic awareness is called:

phonological awareness

What does this mean: FLUENCY IS THE BRIDGE TO COMPREHENSION

quick automatic reading of words helps you concentrate on the meaning (comprehension)

The alphabetic principle

refers to the use of letter-sounds to "sound out" words.

The picture of the ELEPHANT and the blind men

serves as a reminder that the research looks at the bigger picture from many angles and that it take a long time to get a nore complete and accurate picture.

Effective quality teachers know

to personalize learning for children, to invite them into interactive hands-on concrete learning experiences that will help understanding become more solid.

According to the ppt, one problem with No Child Left Behind (NCLB) seemed to be that it focused on too many sticks and not enough carrots (looking for the good and helping everyone do better and better).

true

FLUENCY is necessary for comprehension to take place.
