Teaching reading to young children involves encouraging students to talk about what they read. Teachers must also provide direct instruction in letter and word identification, phonemic awareness, and phonics. Assessment of student reading is important because student reading levels should guide the choices teachers make regarding their instructional practices. There are many research-based strategies and programs designed to teach young children in grades K-3. Based on what you have learned so far in this course and your own research, complete the “Strategies for Literacy Development – Graphic Organizer.” For each of the literacy areas listed: Define the literacy area term (i.e., oral language development, phonemic awareness, fluency) and provide an example of each. Describe an assessment tool or strategy that could be used to obtain knowledge of a student’s entry-level skill within each literacy area. Provide a description of a research-based strategy that can be used to deliver explicit instruction to enhance that literacy area. Explain how to evaluate the strategy for effectiveness. In addition, include a 150-250 word reflection with your completed graphic organizer that addresses the following questions. How can technology be used to support the assessment of reading skills for early childhood and early childhood special education students? Provide specific examples of technological tools or resources. How can assessment of reading levels inform lesson planning? Support your reflection with 1-2 scholarly resources.
