Assignment 2 Week 7

    How can you ensure that your struggling readers have access to texts they can easily read?

As a teacher getting to know your students reading level is very important. Once you get to know their reading level you can get them books on subjects they are interested in and of course appropriate reading level books. These books can be place throughout the classroom or in the library center. You can also have the student access reading Internet games like kidzphonics.com. This website has different reading levels for kids and helps them with fluency.

How can you foster a learning environment in which students have many opportunities to practice reading?

Students will have many opportunities to read by having books in the reading library. I know that in my class I had books on every curriculum we were working on and once we finish that curriculum I would replace the books. As well the other teachers and I will swap out books so every student can have a equal reading opportunity throughout the class.

Describe ways in which you can model fluent reading in your classroom throughout the day.

Fluent reading can always be available for students through out the day by having books available and reading worksheet through out the classroom. If a student finishes their work early or have down time they can go to the reading center or reading/worksheet center to read. I have a student in my class that loves to color and read and after she is done coloring she goes and reads a different book.
