READING It is difficult to learn to read when the words don’t stand still. Can you imagine what it is like to read when the words and letters move up and down on the page? It helps to use my finger or ruler to keep my place so I can read.
One of the key concepts is quantum entanglement, which describes a situation where multiple particles are associated in such a way that measuring the quantum state of one particle also places constraints on the measurements of the other particles. This is best exemplified by the EPR Paradox. Though originally a thought experiment, this has now been confirmed experimentally through tests of something known as Bell's Theorem.
Word Identification, Fluency, and Comprehension go hand in hand- when one piece of the puzzle is weak the other pieces suffer.
Effective Reading instruction • Teachphonemicawareness • Phonics or word study explicitlyand directly • Provide opportunities to apply skills in reading and writingconnected text • With integrated instruction in fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension
Phonemic • the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds-phonemes--in spoken words • Explicit Instruction • clearly models or demonstrates skills/strategies and provides clear descriptions of new concepts (providing both clear examples and non-examples). • Systematic Instruction • carefully sequenced, so that easier skills are taught before more difficult skills • Connected Text • Text-to-self • Text-to-text • Text-to-world
Fluency and Comprehension Videos Developing Fluency Text Comprehension
Informal assessments • Questioning or retelling • Timed testing • Formula for timed WPM or CWPM; QRI-4 • Anecdotal records for expression • Reading in context and isolation • Miscue analysis (word id, punctuation, timed) • Written response to literature- personal experience • Written response focusing on story element • Characters, setting, theme, moral, etc. • Retelling the story • Completing graphic organizers • T-charts with predictions and justifications • Written response to describe personal monitoring process FLUENCY COMPREHENSION
