3. Modeling how to use the skill or strategy

4. Working directly with students as they use the skill or strategy offering assistance as needed

5. Having the students apply the skill independentlyVocabulary:<br />Students benefit from direct instruction in vocabulary strategies.<br />The more words students acquire the better chance they will have for success in reading , writing and spelling. Students acquire vocabulary knowledge through extensive reading in a variety of texts.<br />Research shows that students need to encounter a word several times before it is known well enough to facilitate comprehension. After being introduced to new words, students need oppurtunities to see the words again in their reading and develop their own use of the word in a variety of different contexts both inside and outside the classroom. <br />How I was taught readingHow I used to teach readingHow I will teach reading<br />HO ( Writing)<br />How is Writing taught?<br />In grades one and two students should be able to transfer their developing reading skills to writing conventions by using their knowledge of word structure and phonics to spell new words. <br />Many students do not realize that most stories and articles are not written in one setting. Good writers plan, revise, and rewrite during the process of writing. The teachers’ modeling of effective prewriting, drafting, revising, proofreading and publishing techniques should build upon this understanding.<br />Students are taught that, whatever the form of their writing, they must determine a clear focus, organize their ideas, use effective word choice and sentence structures and express their own viewpoint. This is taught through focused exercises.<br />How I was taught writingHow I used to teach writingHow I will teach writing<br />HO( Listening and Speaking)<br />How are listening and speaking taught?<br />The domains of language arts ( listening,speaking,reading and writing)are closely connected. Listening and speaking instruction are critical scaffolds that support reading comprehension, vocabulary knowledge and oral communication skills. Classroom instruction should be focused on these skills.<br />In the primary grades, instruction is focused on listening to and retelling stories, modeling of standard Arabic structures with frequent opportunities to repeat sentences and recite rhymes and songs, and brief oral presentations about familiar topics and experiences.<br />How I was taught listening and speakingHow I used to teach listening and speakingHow I will teach listening and speaking<br />Now regroup the reading, writing and speaking groups. Label each member of the reading group as A, B, C etc , do the same with the writing and speaking and listening groups. Now let all A’s come to together , all B’s come together and so on. Every group will have a representative from all reading, writing, speaking and listening groups. They can discuss what they have written about each skill. Go around to each group and join in the discussion.- 30 minutes<br />
