“Watch & Learn: Assessing Reading Skills”
This
video discussed the importance of ongoing assessments. Through these assessments teachers are able
to identify problems and work with the student to correct the issues and become
better more fluent readers. The main goal
of reading is comprehension. This video along
with my previous EDRD class have stressed that goal. Without decoding skills and fluency, comprehension
becomes very difficult. The video talked
about readers who exhaust themselves on decoding gain very little meaning from
the text. As a first grade teacher it is
my goal to build decoding and fluency skills early, so children can begin
focusing on meaning as soon as possible.
It was also interesting that the video pointed out that a high IQ score doesn’t
guarantee reading success.
I
am always looking for new ways to reach my students and improve my instruction. I enjoy using a variety of strategies and
tools with my students, and I am looking forward to learning even more
throughout this semester.
