Shared Reading
did not work
In every project there will be pros and cons. There were a couple of instances I felt I should have handle differently by using different approaches in processing uneventful circumstances. For example, the recruitment of volunteers should have been handled by selecting knowledgeable volunteers that cared about supporting academic growth and the love of reading to young children specifically three to five years of age. I asked for volunteers within the church bulletin without any instructions on time frames and the amount of Sundays needed for support. The bulletin read “Shared Reading volunteers needed every Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 12:15p.m. Activities include but not limited to group reading, fluency examples, language development

I spoke to perspective participants individually by explaining the details of the project and defining the actual functions of shared reading with young children. I also collaborated with those same prospects by having a conversation on activities around literacy that they were most interesting in providing support to the families we served on Sundays. This in my opinion helped with the by-in and understanding of the importance of reading to children and engaging in meaningful conversation around the text. As for the making sure all children’s needs were being met, I considered other types of literacy activities to keep all children interested in reading and working independent on table activities surrounding literacy. I created motor skills for those children that found it difficult to remain stationary during large group reading activities. Those children were still able to hear the reading they were just provided with other alternatives to stay interested. I also took this opportunity to connect with families of those children to seek out support on how to keep their children interested and involved in the shared reading/literacy activities. Each Sunday the class was comprised of two to three consistent faces and a few children that were new to me and the experience each Sunday. On many occasions, I had to start from scratch to get to know children and families that decided to visit the church on those particular Sundays for that hour and twenty minutes allotted for this project. Change often occur frequently, learning how to adapt to change as well as how I welcomed it, showed the maturation process that I was

    In a typical literacy lesson the children will take part in a whole class activity which can involve discussion, reading or writing, or maybe even a mix of all three. Then they will generally move on to do individual work to focus on more specific areas, then finally concluding with another whole class activity to have a discussion on what they have done.…

    As looking through Box 4.7 in my textbook, I came to what for me would be the most useful research-based practice is developing reading skills and strategies in children. If a child does not possess any good reading skills, this child will not want to read. Developing these literacy skills will help them to achieve their reading goals. I believe all four of the shared reading strategies are extremely important to use in a classroom for a child’s reading success. As a teacher, I would use all four of them. But if I had to pick one I would introduce, talk about, and read a new story. As our book says, “there is no better way to create a love for books in children of all ages than by reading aloud” (Vecca, Page 127). This will also help them appreciate literature more “and build absolute strong concepts about reading and writing” (Vecca, Page 127). I work in an elementary school; I know how important it is to read aloud to children and on a daily basis. It helps to build their imagination and develop their own ideas and even begin developing their critical thinking skills. I also believe that it gets children involved with the book, especially young children. I believe to develop a love for reading, in turn to benefiting the student in the long run. Asking them before beginning the story, what do you think this story is about? Proceed to ask questions about the story during and after is another way to get them involved in the reading. If they know that questions are coming, this may get them to pay attention during the story more often..…

    3. I would promote equality and in diversity by assessing the Child’s individual needs. Also by gaining knowledge before working with the child, and with the use of an assessment. This also provides me with all the information needed to be able to support the child to take part in any activity or educational needs. I would then be able to provide a suitable venue with the correct facilities and prepare all resources needed for the child’s learning to take place. This will ensure everyone has been included and are able to take part in all areas of development. By giving praise and encouragement to the child, this is an essential ingredient for an effective learning process and enables me to identify the child’s needs relating to anything from a disability to cultural history.…

Some activities that can be used to increase students’ reading skills is repeated readings, concepts of print, comprehension strategies like predicting and asking questions, and building vocabulary by creating word walls.

    I did this through positive praise, helping them sound out words, asking questions about the books to check their understanding and recording feedback in their reading logs. I wrote down in their logs new and challenging words for them to focus on this week. I also noticed that some children used the pictures to try and guess the words. I encouraged them to look at the words and not be afraid of the text. I covered up some text with my fingers so they could focus a sentence at a time. I finished each 1 on 1 with a positive statement, for example, Child A sounded out words more confidently this week and Child B added expression to their…

    Before they started reading as a group I encouraged the children to discuss what had happened so far to describe each of the characters etc. Once I was clear and felt that each of the children had participated we started reading. The first Child read.......I tried to encourage him to speak up a little so that the others within the group could hear clearly making it easier to follow. As each paragraph was completed I would quietly praise, maybe ask a question, any words the children struggled with I would encouraged to sound out and break down, in most cases the children were able to work it out in other cases the other children would offer support. As this group was of mixed ability I have found on previous observations it tends to increase patience and understanding towards each other, sometimes the more advanced children find it a little frustrating but they definitely support each other which has many benefits, helping the less advanced children become more confident with reading out loud also gaining a greater interest about the story using discussion, having a joke about the characters and discussing what may happen? How the story could end? What if they were the character in the story?......it very much brings it all to life.…
