We need to figure out where to use these during the two days.

Is this reading?

Non-example While the other students in Patty’s Grade 7 class work on writing personal essays, Patty sits at a separate table sorting coloured buttons with an educational assistant. 27

Positive example During structured writing time in her Grade 7 classroom, Patty works with a peer to use word prediction to answer questions about what she enjoys doing with her friends. 28

Let’s look at examples 1.Brainstorm three positive examples of learning goals, activities or resources that align with this principle. 2.Record on yellow post-its. 29 Your turn!

A Snapshot of My Classroom

Literature Review (Roberts et al, 2013) 19 studies between Prevalent approach to teaching adolescents with significant cognitive disabilities – vocabulary instruction through sight word acquisition Instruction is not comprehensive Does not address the guidelines set out from National Reading Panel

Recommendations Students should have access to the general education curriculum Comprehensive literacy instruction should include the 5 pillars of reading (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension) advocated from the National Reading Panel Students should be exposed to a wide variety of texts

National Reading Panel Components of a comprehensive literacy instruction program –designed for early literacy, but is appropriate but has application for adolescents with significant cognitive delays 1. build motivation for literacy 2. phonemic awareness 3. sound/symbol connections (phonics) 4. letter formation 5. language development

National Reading Panel 6. sight words 7. listening/thinking skills 8. world and word knowledge 9. concepts of print 10. spelling 11 schema development 12. real reading 13. real writing

36 Everyone brings expertise to the table!

Highly Effective Literacy Activities: LEA & Story-based Involve a multiple of language arts strands and outcomes (reading, writing, speaking, listening, viewing, representing) Flexible and adaptable for a range of learners Engaging and interactive

Language Experience Approach Is adaptable to whole group, small group or individuals Five components: – Experience – Discussion – Recording – Reading – Follow-up activities

Story-based Lesson (Browder, Trela, & Jimenez (2007) 1.Attention getter –activate background knowledge 2.Review vocabulary/new symbols 3.Make predictions –can be used throughout lesson 4.Student points to title 5.Student points to the author 6.Student opens book

7. Student turns the page 8. Predictable book that allows anticipation of the repeated story line 9. Identify key vocabulary words 10. Word-by-word matching 11 Comprehension questions 12. Word study (phonemic or phonics)
