  6. My Teachings & Eric’s Responses My Teachings Eric’s Responses Was able to find chunks Some trouble keeping ing & sh together Eventually applied chunking to text reading Was able to PPC over Birthday Party Agreed it sounded odd R-> C after fixing mistake • Chunk words :VS BME • Covering unfamiliar words: VS BME • Preview-Predict-Confirm • Asking “Does this make sense?” to get M and R->C

  7. What Eric Has Learned From Me • X while reading • VS BME: letter/word work and “chunking” examples • When to use upper and lowercase letters. • Making more effort towards asking “Does this make sense?” • R->C as building sentences • IT’S OKAY R->SC and C! • Comprehension- applying higher level thinking to create, preview/predict/confirm, and journal. • When to use “new” CAP: quotation marks and commas.

  8. Some of Eric’s Work With VS VS during Word Work visits = v-is-its VS during Text Reading Strong = st-st-strock Strong = str=on-g

  10. What I Have Learned From Eric & EDU 360 • What makes sense to me does not mean it makes sense to the student • Teaching a strategy one time will not work • Must teach in several ways • Reading & writing are complex & take time to grasp • Importance of choosing & introducing books • Don’t underestimate a student’s ability to try & ultimately succeed

  11. A Final Piece of Advice From Eric You have to remember that reading and writing is suppose to be enjoyable not a struggle.
