Sub Module 1.1 Bridging Literacy Instruction

Video Reflection

The Science of Reading

One of the key elements in successful reading instruction identified in reading research is the role that phonics instruction plays in learning to read. The scientific consensus is that teaching phonics systematically, explicitly, and cumulatively is key to successful reading instruction. Why does the science of reading have the biggest impact on literacy instruction?

After watching the video above, I can answer both of these questions in 300-350 words:

1. What I knew or didn’t know a great deal about the science of reading prior to this module was…
2. Now that I am better informed, moving forward, I will…

Sub Module 1.2 The Study of Language

Reader Response

Moats (2020) discussed the Simple View of Reading (SVR) as the basic model for understanding factors involved in learning to read. In 250-300 words, discuss the implications for the SVR. In your response, be sure to answer the following:

1. What should be assessed?
2. How instructional time should be allocated?
3. What should a comprehensive curriculum address?

Sub Module 1.3 The Five Pillars of Literacy

Reader Response

Reading Instruction in Today’s Classroom

Based on theory, research, and current practice, each student will compose a 300-500 response that summarizes their thoughts on reading instruction in today’s classroom. It is important to read Put Reading First: National Institute for Literacy/The Partnership for Reading. This document is based on the 5 Pillars of Reading and will be provided to the student as a resource. You are encouraged to find at least two more resources online that support reading instruction in today’s classroom. Please reflect on the following questions as they will guide you in constructing your response:

What should be the main objective for any reading teacher?

1. What is “reading” and the “reading process”, in your opinion, how can it best be achieved?
2. How is being able to read different for every student?
3. What is one reading theory or practice that resonated with you?

What variables do teachers have to consider in their approach to teaching reading?

1. What may be potential obstacles in the learning process?  Consider:
   1. Economically disadvantaged and poverty
   2. Culturally- and linguistically diverse learners
2. How important is it to collaborate with family members to maximize a students’ reading experiences, and why?
3. How are “exceptional learners,” or students will disabilities, taught in your classroom?  Are there limits to what you can achieve with students with learning or behavioral concerns?

Describe your ideal language arts classroom setting.

1. How does your classroom differ from others’?
2. What is the role of the student in your classroom?
3. What evidenced-based teaching practices do you embrace as a teacher?
4. How do you ensure that you are teaching all of the students in your classroom?
5. How do you know that learning is achieved?
