Assignment
Grade: Pre-K
Intervention activity:
Improving reading comprehension, phonics, and phonemic awareness in the early grades through multi-sensory instruction. Speaking, listening, reading, and an exercise involving touch or movement are all included in multi-sensory instruction (Center for Effective Reading Instruction & International Dyslexia Association, 2017). The use of letter manipulatives can help kids practice combining sounds. These are little pieces of paper or letter forms that have been pre-made with unique sounds on them. Students build words or syllables using the individual letters. By beginning with one sound and introducing each additional sound one at a time using this technique, they are able to work gradually. It will help to further solidify the sounds the learner is working with if they can say the sounds aloud as they put the word together.
Remediation activity:
Letter-Sounds Reteach with Visuals:
A picture with a name that starts with the letter-sound you wish to teach, such as a snake for /s/, should be displayed. Children should be asked to identify the sound they hear at the beginning of the word when you say the picture name (snake). (/s/) Recite the image's name and the first letter of each word. (snake, /s/) Children should repeat. The letter(s) that stand for the first sound should be written or displayed. (s) Ask a child to repeat after you the name of the picture, including the first letter and sound. (snake, s, and s) Show other images whose names start with the same sound and spelling.
You have implemented both the intervention and remediation activities from above^, meet with your mentor to thoroughly discuss and take notes about the following.
A. What was the feedback of your mentor on the effectiveness of your implementation of the literacy intervention and remediation activities?
B. What were the students' responses to the activities and what was effective in helping students practice their literacy skills?
C. What were the potential areas for change or improvement in the literacy intervention and remediation activities based on the student response and outcomes?
Answer Thoroughly:
A. What are the literacy skills deficits exhibited by the student and the intervention and remediation activities you developed to help them practice and improve their literacy skills?
B. What the results of implementing the literacy intervention and remediation activities with the students?
C. What are the long-term results you would expect to see if you implemented these types of activities with the students over an extended period of time ?
D. Reflect on your execution of the literacy intervention and remediation activities and their effectiveness. Include a discussion of both successes and challenges as well as changes you would make if implementing the activities again.
