1. How does elementary reading instruction contribute to poor literacy attainment for older children? Elementary reading instruction can contribute to poor literacy attainment because the emphasis on processes of how to read can crowd out attention to reading for ideas, information, and concepts—the very skills needed for literacy attainment.
2. What reading test scores good for? Reading test scores are good to show achievement. They depict what level of reading the student is at and how much the student has learned.
3. What reality about a literacy myth surprised you the most? Why? To be honest no reality about the literacy myths surprised me. I feel like I already knew this information and I understood the realities already upon reading them.
4.
What do you know about teaching reading comprehension in the content
areas? I know that it is important to not read the text as a whole class; red robin reading, because within this strategy students are more worried about reading correctly in front of their peers than retaining the content. Give an example of a strategy you might use to teach reading
during a science or social studies lesson. The teacher could easily use cooperative learning as a strategy. The students would be given a task, responsible for reading the content individually, and then re-grouping as a team and each member would be responsible to discuss there task with the group. Everyone is reading, retaining information, and cooperating.
5.
What kind of literacy do you have that was not acknowledge in school?
(Literacy means being able to use texts and technologies to accomplish
one's purpose in the world.) I learned to talk before entering school and I learned to text on my phone without school influence.
6. Give an example of a literacy practice. Sending emails or text messages could be a literacy practice because multiple literacy skills are being utilized and practiced.
7. What is a discourse community? A discourse community is a group
of communicators with a common goal or interest that adopts certain preferred
ways of participating in public discussion.
8. What can happen if students valuable multiple literacies are not recognized as valuable in school? In my opinion if they are not recognized as valuable in school then most students will suffer and may never learn valuable multiple literacies.
9. Give an example of how a teacher might build on the extracurricular literacy practices of their students? A teacher could hold a spelling bee because within a spelling bee students are not just learning to spell words but they are learning the origins, definitions, correct pronunciation, and the context it is used in.
10.
Describe a time in which a teacher in your 4-12 schooling
experience employed one of the research-base strategies to improve
motivation. In high school technology was growing vastly, a couple teachers incorporated technology into the classroom to motivate students.
11. Give an example from your own K-12 schooling experience that engaged in you in multicultural literacy development. In high school I took three years of Spanish which definitely engaged me in multicultural literacy development.
12. What do teachers her gain recognition and respect from their peer also do well on? In my opinion a teacher who gains recognition and respect from their peers also must get this same reaction from their students.
