Word Study and Fluency Chart

Fluency and Word study part 2

3 levels of words, which ones to teach

The 3 levels of words are 1.Familiar words- words that we all know and use and do not have to be taught 2. words that appear often- these words come up in text or conversation often enough that we do want our students to know the meaning and how to use these words. 3. These are the highly technical words that are not often used and therefore we do not focus on teaching the meaning of these words.

Teaching students to chunk words in order to decode meaning:

Students can be taught to chunk words by a. checking to see if any part of the word is familiar to them  b. by  drawing clues from text content c.by using the strategy of onset and rhyme to break apart a word and seeing if they can figure any part of it. We teach students these strategies during any actual reading activity rather than giving a separate lesson, this way we model good reading and understanding strategies.

Incorporating word study in my classroom:

I would use words that students find in text to teach vocabulary rather than using a vocabulary book or planner. This way students see that the words they are learning are actually used in everyday conversations rather than being abstract words. I would also teach students to encode and decode words using onset and rhyme- using larger units in the word rather than teaching a letter by letter strategy, this would help students with fluency.

Fluency and Word Study part 1

Ensuring that struggling readers have proper text:

By teaching students proper strategy on how to choose books that are level appropriate to them you can ensure that they are reading level proper text. Also, giving students access to books they can actually read  and are of interest to them would keep them reading and encouraged. With independent reading time, students have a chance to read books that are on their level.

Environments with opportunity to read:

Providing students with a large classroom library that is well organized according to topics can encourage students to read because they will find books that are of interest to themselves. Creating a peaceful environment where students have some quiet time to read will also encourage reading.

Modeling Fluent Reading:

Teaching students using Read aloud, allows teachers to model fluency in reading. Teachers can show intonation, sarcasm, the use of different voices or tone of voice. By modeling poor reading fluency and asking students to point out what is missing, students can realize and understand the importance of fluent reading. Pointing out to students what it entails to be a fluent reader such as Smoothness, correctness and the use of expression can also build an awareness of fluency.
