The Importance Of ELA Reading Agreements
The ELA Reading Agreements artifact I uploaded to demonstrate my proficiency of Standard 2 is a document created as a result of a literacy vision that was created during the 2014-2015 school year and revised in December 2015. Myself along with the Heritage Literacy Leadership Team guided the staff through the process of developing a vision of what literacy instruction should look like at Heritage to ensure we are supporting all students in attaining high achievement. Through this process we decided it was important to have a non-negotiable set of minutes for in every school day that the student spend reading. This decision was the result of a review of research which provide strong evidence that the more time students spend reading the more

    The California Department of Education specifies goals for ELD students to “…read, analyze, interpret, and create a variety of literary and informational text types…. [and] they demonstrate knowledge of content through…writing tasks.” In addition, “…English learners at all levels engage in intellectually challenging literacy, disciplinary, and disciplinary literacy tasks” (California Department of Education, 2012, p. 86). The goals for ELD students are extremely similar to the six shifts in the ELA Common Core Standards in which: students read, analyze, and gather evidence to support their reading; then use the information they have retrieved to write constructively. The six shifts in instruction will not only benefit ELD students, but will likely be a good match for all…

    Despite all the actions that have been taken to improve the literacy rate among African-Americans, more problems remain. The school administration, parents and children should acknowledge that it will take them all to dedicate their lives to close this gap. Another alternative solution was proposed to improve the illiteracy rate. The White House and philanthropist recognize that there is a huge gap concerning literacy in the blacks community and in order to improve their lives of young African-Americans, they feel the need to intervene in their lives at an early age so that they can achieve the critical milestone of reading on grade level by the end of the third grade. As a result of that, Grade Level reading was created. Grade Level…

    On Wednesday May 19, 2010, I observed Mrs. Kristi Jones 6th grade Language Arts Class at Chase Middle School. Mrs. Jones has her students come into class and sit down and begin their Silent Sustained Reading for the first 15 minutes of class every day. Students have their choice of trade books to read which when they finish they take Accelerated Reader test to earn points. Depending on which language class she has point requirements range from 5 to 15 points per six weeks for students. However, Mrs. Jones told me that she does allow modifications for students qualify for them. She allows them to read lower grade books with fewer points and instead of testing she allows them to write summaries of the books.…

    The K-6 section for ELA is broken down into “reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language.” The College and Career Readiness for ELA standards focus on “key ideas and details, craft and structure, integration of knowledge and ideas, and the range of reading and level of text complexity.” The Common Core Strand Standards consist of “text complexity, growth of comprehension, writing, responding to reading, research, speaking and listening, and language conventions.” Whereas, the Florida State Standards (cpalms.org) for ELA are organized by similar strands, such as “language, reading, listening and speaking, and writing.” However, each strand is defined into different clusters. Within the clusters are “key ideas and details, craft and structure, integration of knowledge, and range of reading and level of text complexity.”…

    Many reading programs now are scripted. The programs were designed to connect the reading gap between low income household and wealthy well off children. Scripted curriculum determines what the teacher will say during their whole group or small group instruction. The program outlines the lessons and the pace at which the lessons are taught (Duncan-Owens, 2009). The scripted program instruction refers to commercial reading programs that have highly structured lessons. The lessons are written with specific time allotments and rigor for teaching specific skills and often word-for-word scripts of what the teacher is to say (Garzon, 2013). The teacher is expected to read the lesson scripts verbatim. The program lessons are set up day to day pace.…

    Learning to Become Literate

    When becoming literate the most important thing a child can learn is that they can in fact learn in the way their school wants them to. They can be part of the school society and feel like they fit in with their friends who use literacy to communicate and play. "The bond between the teacher and the taught is strengthened; exploration, discovery, ambition and achievement expand and flourish." (Meek 1) Reading and writing opens up a new world of opportunities for children and therefore is continuous research being done in order to ensure that the best methods of teaching our children are implemented. However studies show that a large portion of this milestone occurs before formal education is ever begun. (McLane and McNamee 4)…
