Module 5: Instructional Challenge


As your school year starts, you realize that you have three ELLs who are newcomers to the United States. Discuss how a comprehensive literacy program addresses their needs, drawing attention to specific components of the framework that are particularly relevant. Then discuss any additional scaffolding you would offer to support these children's needs.

 

A comprehensive literacy program that I would use would involve writing workshops, peer collaborations, and different technology programs to help meet the different needs of the students. After reading, I realized the importance of a read aloud. I think that this program would be great for ELL students. Putting the story on the board or let them have the book as the teacher reads will help them recognize new words.   The student s would also work on different reading programs in the mornings that will help them. The students will hear the different words on the computer.

 I feel that they students need to feel comfortable and confident in their work. They need to be able to try and not give up when they don’t succeed. Therefore, I would take my ELL students and put them in a small group reading or with a partner. They will be based on various reading levels. Another way that I would incorporate it would be through Ipads in the classroom. There are different applications that they students will be able to work on in the mornings. They will also be in writing workshops with different journals and writing aloud programs. They will share their story to other students and in small guide groups.  Above all, it’s the communication between the teacher and their partners that really sets the tone for discussions. The discussions in small group are very important because they allow them to get involved in making connections with reading and writing.
