Task 3

The classroom environment contains many printed signs labeling different areas. The reading area contains a variety of books organized on shelves, including stories about senses, phonics, and Arabic/English stories. During a phonics lesson, the teacher uses flashcards and a toy frog named Fred to teach letter sounds. Fred can only say individual letter sounds and not blend whole words. The school uses a daily guided reading approach called Read-Write Inc. Letters are introduced each week through forming practice, example words, and sentences to remember the sound. Students then spell, sound out, and blend words starting with that letter. Writing activities include copy writing, dictation, and rearranging letters to spell words the teacher provides

Task 3: Literacy Strategies

Describe the classroom environment.: There are so many prints on the classroom in each
area and it’s on the wall of each corner. For example: on the reading area there are some
flash cards that tells some ways to read the words. Moreover, there are some big printed
papers on each area that tells the name of this certain area.

Describe the reading area in your classroom. What genres of books are there and how
are they displayed? : The reading area in the classroom has a different types of books
about most of the topics and skills that they have on the lessons such as: there are some
stories about the five senses, there are some stories about phonics and there are some
Arabic and English stories. All of the books are well organized on a book holder in the
reading area.

Describe a phonics lesson you observed. How does the teacher teach word attack skills
to children? Mention how the children are scaffolded to recognize the word and get the
meaning? The teacher has some flashcards and words, A frog toy which named “fred”
the teacher says to the students that “fred” the frog can only spell the sounds of the
letters without blending the whole word.
Consider different reading approaches have you observed? (Guided reading, Shared
Reading, Sustained Silent Reading).
I observed that this school has a daily reading session (Guided reading). It called (Read-
Write inc) It's a reading and a writing session, but they focus more on the reading. Every
week they have different letters. For example, when they have the letter "H" first, they
start with showing the students the forming of the letter and how does it looks like, For
each letter, they have some sentences that remind the child of the letter and to make it
easier for them to read and write the letters. The letter H sentence is (Down the horse's
head to hooves and over his back). They keep repeating this sentence so the child could
remember the letter easily. Next, they show the students some letters that begin with the
letter "H" for example Horse, Hippo, Hat. The students first spell the words, say the
sounds of the letters and blend it to a full word.

Describe some types of writing activities or the method the teacher uses for writing:
The teacher differentiates when doing writing activities, sometimes she does copy writing
for example she gives the students a paper that she wrote some words on it and she lets
the students to copy the words on their papers.
Also, she uses like dictation method, she tells the students the words and they write what
they hear. Moreover, she does an activity that has some letters and they have to create
words with these letters (she tells them the words and they have to spell and order the
letters).
